Dominant 2nd half. Well done Ireland. Time to make some breakfast.

Possession stats in the second half must have been very heavily dominated by Ireland.
I don't think this really says anything about the England team we didn't know already - a lot of promise, but not good enough to overcome some ill discipline/interesting referring (delete as appropriate). Some nice moments with ball in hand and some great defence in the first half, just not the complete package yet.

For our visit to Twickenham, I worry that England will have one of those days where everything clicks and they'll smash us.

Yeah, they certainly weren't helped by the referee at the line out who seemed to spot infringements that no one else could. But Ireland were dominant in the second half. They made their changes first and the bench took advantage against a tiring English pack. That's on Borthwick who failed to match it and once again highlights his limitations.
Someone also needs to inject some rugby nous into Murley, twice he made utterly daft decisions that left the team in horrendous defensive positions. But it seems he has talent, took his try well and set up another.
Ireland/France to decide the title and that could go either way. I suspect England will have another narrow defeat against France next week which will leave Borthwick clinging to his job when Scotland come.

There was some terrible refereeing in Ireland’s favour at a key point of the game, but they were clearly the better side. England were constantly losing territory in the kicking game, and the way they want to play is never going to work while that’s happening.

You were making so many though, it was one goal line stand after another. When you’re under that kind of pressure Lowe and Aki are going to run someone over sooner or later.

Where are we setting up the funeral pyre for Welsh rugby?
Would've been a remarkable try (2 forward passes in the build up notwithstanding). England equalise with some slick hands of their own2 Hands for beginners Antoine
England will be happy. Weathered a bit of a French storm to start and grew into the game. Can't give France any scrappy ball though and they've got a lot of power to come off the bench.
