@Victor-Meldrew Yup. Good how the guys who do it Week in Week out get to step up. They have the knowledge.

Yellow Card to Marcus Smith. England down to 14.

Lowe to Gibson Park that try was made in Aotearoa.

Project players to the rescue for Ireland.

Until World Rugby gets tough on it, nations like Ireland will do it.

Nelson and Gisborne 5 England 7.

Nice play by England but Slade loses it. But there's a penalty straight under the posts.

Smith gets the kick.

Team Green 5 England 10.

Half time.

Not much in this. Two very evenly matched sides. It will probably go to the wire.

England are better so far. I don’t know much about the England bench but the Irish bench has a few over the hill veterans.

England D coach has earned his money. Big improvement.

Cracker of a first half

Eddie looks like he just came from the allotment

The overhead camera is shitting me

Use it for replays

End of

Shit from Burley but should have been penalty to England for Ireland having 20 on the field

England beginning to struggle at scrum time. Their front row looks rather inexperienced.

O'Keefe no standing any nonsense.

Lawrence is having a fine game. Dangerous on attack and terrific defence.

Lawrence setting down a marker for the Lions

Bundee Aki in. Another try to New Zealand.

Bundi says hold my beer

Marcus Smith had no idea how to defend against the big man there.

10-10

That was a fucking atrocious call from BOK

Ireland leading 13-10. They have been the better team in the second half.

A break in play. England three down and the players wander around in isolation lost in their individual thoughts. Ireland's forwards go into a hurdle. That's the difference.

Crowley on at 1st 5 for Ireland.

It seems a very long time since England last scored.

BOK hometown

Warned both captains that anyone running in would get a YC

Bottled it on Lowe

Shit refereeing

Game changer

Beirne in after good work by James Lowe.

Ireland 20 England 10.

Murley having a shocker.

Ireland utterly dominant now.

Lowe breaks, feeds Shennan. Try.

Ireland 25 England 10.

England have been very poor in this second half. The wheels have fallen off their chariot.

Poor leadership. Fitness also suspect.

Tom Curry scores for England.

Something's not right in their squad. There's a noticeable lack of cohesion and connection.

All over. Ireland 27 England 22.
