Shame on James Lowe for wanting bro give something back to Ireland alright. He is nothing like that Irish football patriots Clinton Morrison, Declan Rice and Jack Grealish.

You do understand he has to be aligned to a club?

You do understand Morrison would not happen under Kenny?

If a premier league player announced tomorrow he was declaring for Ireland he'd be accepted with open arms. Your profoundly wrong if you think anything else

Probably. But nobody is chasing him.

Ross Byrne is playing to deep. By the time the backs get the ball english players are waiting for them or racing up to them.

Line outs are a mess again. Ireland have no answer to England's brute strength

4 goals already in the hurling. You'd have to be a masochist to watch Farrell's Irish rugby team.

power and speed are Ireland's Achilles heel always have been.

Horrible first 20mins.

Can say that theme continued until I turned off on 70 mins

Nice try from Stockdale to at least get a score on the board. England did what they do almost everyone else and used their power and size advantage to grind down Ireland who didn't have an answer.

Line out was a disaster. Several times Ireland got a line out in England's 22 and lost or made a mistake from the line out. Basic errors like that are soul destroying and cost you games

Seems like Irelands problem has been that under joe their lineout and maul was so effective that it was always the default option to go for the corner and pass of kicks at goal. Certainly shouldnt be happening now when the lineout has been hit and more than likely miss over the last 24 months. If they had someone like O'Gara on the field they would be taking the kick at goal at all times. I don't get in rugby why teams can spend so long in an opponents half/22 and not just spam drop goals and take points. Surely its the most efficient way to get scores on the board.

Ireland are just too predictible we have to pin back a rushing drfence mske them think dink a ball over the top make them hesitate about rushing forward .  Ireland need to get the basics right first at the moment we cant even secure our own possession

I don't get running crash ball after crash ball and getting knocked back time and time again by the bigger men. That's playing to Englands strength and the only try we got was when they'd the wit to chip the ball over the England rush defence for Stockdale to get in behind and take the catch.

It only took 75 odd minutes to work that one out FFS.

Jones is England's "flick the switch" coach. The 60-year-old Australian concocts scenarios so everyone knows how to score in transition (methods that come straight from the NBA). But it goes further back than training in leafy Teddington. For true knowledge, we must travel north to Merseyside and Liverpool FC's director of research Ian Graham.
"We've divided the coaching team up into three areas: attack, defence and 'flick the switch'," Jones explained. "I'm nominally the flick the switch co-ordinator but all the other coaches do all the work. We have created games that mimic those situations.
"I think I mentioned we had a great meeting with the Liverpool analysis and that's one area we are starting to develop our own database and starting to use some tracking from a company called Sport Ability that is helping us in that area, to measure work off the ball, which is so important in the transitional part of the game.

This goes back to Schmidt too though, it was different when Ireland were the hammer, now they are the nail. England are a more physical team and it's not even close - there was a time it wasn't in doubt it was Ireland and you could do that type of basic enough rugby (assuming your set piece is strong, which Ireland's was hideous anyway). I think Rassie Erasmus words should really be stinging to the Irish "They are not softies, they're not like Ireland,"


Shocking day at the office. Assuming the 2021 Six Nations is going ahead. There is a lot of work to be done, Ireland are very much like Wales at the moment, the lowest ebb in many years.
