Hate it when ref's seem to think it's a coincidence when one teams players are consistently "accidentally" finding themselves on the wrong side of rucks. in the way of the 9.

I've got Dylan Hartley and some Irish guy. How've you ended up with Morris?

The Swedish broadcast began without commentary and I thought "excellent" then Morris and that unremarkable Irish bloke chimed in after 3 minutes.

Hmm Ireland aren't playing perfectly. Clearly better but they are making errors. If we were more accurate we might have a chance.

That was glorious attacking ball - why did we immediately set for a garryowen?!

Third very average penalty conceded by BillyV - an average of one every 11 minutes.

Players standing and watching a ruck go pear shaped until its too late.

Daly's presentation didn't help mind.

There was a period of dull kicking just now which was like a satire on contemporary bad rugby union.

Every lineout just emphasises how important Jamie George is to us. His lineout throwing has been double-top every single time.

Then a horrible knock on from a high ball under absolutely no pressure with England set ready to attack.

Wow - failed penalty kick to touch and then subsequent knock on. It's like we're trying to ensure we lose.

That is a terrible call for that penalty.

Just watched the slow-mo replay and I'm actually completely wrong - Stuart has just fucked that up entirely.

There's a blatant neck roll in the build up to that.

Lots of good clapping, cheering and pointing. Team bonding going well.

His penalties and Earl's apparent inability to have any effect on rucks, it isn't a stellar day for the back row,

Ireland were allowed to leave the ball in that scrum a long time nothing happening.
