Decent start, no penetration but at least they're disrupting Ireland and haven't been carded yet.

BillyV has looked to roll the ball back in contact a couple of times - rather than fighting for every metre, looking to present for quick ball to work with. It's a great plan and could really work, except that both times, Youngs has not been paying attention and it's rolled between his legs. Fucksake.

England already showing more ambition than last weekend. Let's see how the defence holds up.

That looked a very harsh call on Lawes. Probably just about correct, but rare to be pinged for it.

He's too long and refs are apparently going to be stricter on that at the world cup.

He actually got called for side entry - got his hands on the ball at the same time he swung his legs around.

Saying he didn't come round and through the gate.

Great players often seem to have lots of time on the ball. Therefore Youngs must be an all time great.

Genge owed us that run after getting suckered in defence.

Terrible rucking by England. Earl followed the carrier in to support and then flew straight off his feet, meaning there was nothing stopping Ireland competing.

Forwards just looking a touch off. They aren't getting into their pods quickly enough in attack and the try was a poor mis read in defence. Genge steps in for the double hit and whoever is on his outside makes no movement to step across.

Pretty dismal failure to number across properly. Not like he's using scintillating pace and footwork to break the line is it?

The ref is already screwing the scrums. You cannot take so long between the calls - it's just not possible to hold.

Then we give away one of out favuorites under Eddie, the pointless lineout gap close, to compound the error.

You're being echoed by Dewi Morris. Is that good or bad?

Shot of a glowering member of the Farrell family in the stands. Everyone drink.

Ben Earl really is so difficult to like. Screaming hard enough to tear a vocal cord, because Ireland gave away a technical lineout penalty.

That's a bewildering call against George at the ruck, how much further out of the way does he need to get?

Nice to see the ref finally ping Ireland for not rolling away.

Surprised we didn't get another one there after Ford let the country down by missing a kick at goal.
