First time I've ever seen a not straight given in the lineout when it's in favour of the opposition.

Stockdale was shocking for the try. I can see what he was trying to do but it was a terrible risk to take for almost no reward.

Earls has had some good moments but was badly at fault for the 1st try.

Ireland caught the ball at the last lineout of the half, when it had drifted into the English side, and it was given as not straight.

Ireland making school boy errors.

Not running on to the ball. And not sticking their man in attack.

Why have our pods reverted from 3 options to one? England are picking the player getting the ball each time. We can't play our phase game if we can't make it over the gainline.

Henshaw is not a top level full back. A great player, but not a full back at this level.

Kearney watching this must have felt like Toner watching us vs Argentina. Gone from dead in the water to MVP.
