Worst BP victory ever

[screenexile]

Win's a win and with a bonus point and at Twickenham dunno what the problem is lads!!!

Healy not good enough anymore but a lot of lads struggled today. Fair play to England they brought some intensity to the game with 14 men!

[Wildweasel74]

Should be winning that game by 20pts with a extra man.

Poor display from Ireland, really can't handle expectation at all, hence the reason we fill the togs come WC.
Whilst I do think the referee was generous to England since the red card, especially in the scrum, the poor handling and decision making had given England a chance they shouldn't have had.

That said a bonus points win is as good a result as you could want ..

VERY flattering scoreline for Ireland and harsh on England. Hosed all day long in the scrum.

Think Irekand could win this world Cup if the other teams only have 14 players.

Surely England were just swinging around the scrum all gane? They definitively weren't pushing straight

They were ran through more than once. Rightly or wrongly loads of refs favour the team doing the shoving.

Exactly, ref seemed like he was trying to even things up after the justified sending off. How many times were England offside, completely unpunished.
4 tries to zero never threatened the try line, just got scrum penalties. Thought Henshaw, Conan & Murray did very well when introduced. Healy, Beirne, Henderson, O Mahoney, Aki, Ringrose pretty anonymous. Otjoe & Genge had huge games for England.

[Tony Baloney]

Henderson has a lot of miles on the clock and as well as the mistakes appeared gassed early in the second half.

Good times for irish rugby compared to the late 80s early 90s when we could hardly win a game. The u20s have 4 from 4 & face bottom Scotland at home to win the grand slam.

absolutely beating England by 17 points in twickenham even with 14 is a great result, got a bit messy trying to offload from bad positions and panicking a bit in attack. Scrum was a mess but Porter should help and England looked to be wheeling it illegally,Sheehan looks great .2023 wc is where it's at for Ireland though they have to get to semi final
