Title: What are England playing at? (Rugby)
Post by: Lazydocker on 19 March 2011, 17:33:27
Can't believe they're letting Ireland run away with this... Although there are some questionable decisions being made by the ref :-X :-X

Basic errors and inexperience. Not good, but what's all this with the Irish holding the tackled player up off the floor? The guy is on his feet playing the ball, what's the pen for?

Totally out played by a very good Irish side who seemed to want the win more than England.

Doesn,t dobe well in a world cup year that your only try scorer is a throw back from a world cup sucess  2 competitions ago.Even so Thompson did well and has always made an impact when brought on.

You could tell it wasn,t England,s day wehn both Flood and Wilkinson both missed the posts.

Well played Ireland,they deserved the win.Lets see if the French implode again !!..Come on you Welsh.

.....Well, Scotland was the writing on the wall.
Have to say, although disappointed, was not entirely surprised - Ireland took the game by the scruff of the neck, bent it over the scrummaging machine and gave England a complete demonstration of how to get ****** up the ****.

What'll happen in the autumn? Absolutely no idea!

Did you see Guscott doing the 'not a complete article' routine after the match? Really, so who said they were?

So often at the final challenge an English rugby team have crumbled.

I think on that performance they will not progress too far in the Autumn.So much for having an 18st winger if he doesn,t run straight when he has the ball.The forwards were distinctly average and seemed not to want to get their hands on the  ball in the breakdowns and when they did get posession they just aimlessly gave it away.

Ireland on the other hand wanted the win and deserved the result.Can,t see the Welsh winning by +20 odd but would be a real realitity check to England if they did.

Got to admit the Irish deserved the win... They were the better team today :(

Mind you... There were some very dubious calls from the Ref, all in favour of the Irish >:( ::)

Never thought I'd be cheering on the Cheese eaters French so much ::) :D

Can't see Wales winning by enough though ;)

Its a pity the Irish didn't play like that from the begining of the tournament, they might have been where England are now ;)

I can see our friends from the Principality helping us out tomorrow, they'll beat the French but stop short of the 27 points to help us win it ::) ;D

It's already happened Pete, Wales were absolute shite and lost 28-9. England win the championship with France second, Ireland third and Wales fourth

Why is it such a bloody shock that England have lost (again) to Ireland?????
We (Ireland) have won 8 of the last 12 six nation games against England.
England were outclassed by a far better team yesterday simple as that.

No doubt about that... In fact, I said that Ireland deserved the win ;) ;)

Equally, there was some very questionable refereeing ;) ;)

The surprise was that England have been the better team throughout this tournament

i honestly dont think there were any reffing decisions that went against england. we were just so shell shocked after the irish went over.

the reason, imo, ireland won was that they contested every ruck and didnt give england quick ball. we weren't prepared for that hence the amount of turnovers and knock ons.

we won the championship but it was served with an irish lemon  :'( :'( :'(

Not the decisions he made, but there was some very questionable behaviour by some of the Irish players which went unnoticed  :-X ::)

At the end of the day, the Irish were the better team and deserved the win... No doubt about it :'(

At least we still won overall though :y

oh i see what you mean lol

yep a lot of ''interesting'' play on the floor!!!! but they played the home ground advantage a treat too. i thought banahan was useless. yes he can smash in to his opposing centres but he needs to do it more than twice in a game!!!!!!!

one word on the irish. yes it was a great win for them. but thats all it was. they're a pretty poor team in my opinion. better than us on the day but they'll not touch the southern hemisphere in the RWC
