Ireland line out just inside their half
Ireland swinging the ball, but still going nowhere. Ends in England scrum from knock on
And England duff it, free kick Ireland
Ireland opt to scrum
Backwards and forwards, like a pack of dogs on hot coals, but none going anywhere. England scrum
Well spotted on that forward pass, too often one sees little pop passes forward going unnoticed, although that one was more obvious than most
Penalty England for wheeling, kickable
Farrell lines it up
Should get it easy
Oh dear spoke too soon, looked like it was going through for Farrell
Missed
England hard on attack, but Ireland get scrum from maul. Vunipola’s ankle looks a goner
Morgan replaces him
He’s walking – thats a good sign, at least
As suspected Farrells channel being attacked time after time
Rubbish kick by Trimble
….and leads directly to an English penalty. They go for touch deep inside Irelands 22
Aaaarghhh, this time England fluff it, 7m out.
Thats halftime – Eng3/0 Ire
A lot of action in that first half but very few points to show for it
2nd half on
Early Irish penalty
Ireland up to English 22 with throw in
TRYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Kearney, awesome
What a start to 2nd half for Ireland! Rib Kearney under the posts.
Huge gap and he’s under the posts
Convesion good by Sexton – England (3) 3 / 7 (0) Ireland (42 min)
RT site very slow, will try to keep going, but taking an age to post – England very nearly a quick comeback, but lose the ball
England leaking penalties, quick take, and ends in Irelands throw deep inside Englands 22
87 @ Just For Kicks:
Its got a bit slow at times here too JFK but this one flying through
Lawes should be binned for that. Ireland with another penalty 5m out, Ireland (Sexton) slots the penalty
