I thought England wanted it even deeper?Totally agree, Ireland are worth the lead but if someone randomly decides to stick his nose in and alter the dimensions of a pitch you are used to playing on it must be frustrating for the home players. At the start of the Six Nations.that last Ireland try would have been one metre over the dead ball line … enter Nigel fecking Owens

Not that I’m aware of, if can’t be much deeper than it now is anyway. I know this decision came from Nigel Owens
If it was closer Stockdake would have grounded it quickerTotally agree, Ireland are worth the lead but if someone randomly decides to stick his nose in and alter the dimensions of a pitch you are used to playing on it must be frustrating for the home players.

Fair enough, not what I’d heard but the BBC are normally a trustworthy source. Could not hear the HT discussion as the pub turned the TV volume down and started playing Irish music and forcing their free St Patrick’s Day stew and potatoes on me!If it was closer Stockdake would have grounded it quicker
Hmmmmmm lucky Daly.
Big knock on Aki there. He might not come back.
Well. For all that pressure, England are further behind. Savage stuff by Ireland.

It’s apparently not on according to the bar staff in the Irish pub I’m in … I’ll not argue
English folks, do ye realise how much we hate Mike Brown? I was delighted with the talk of dropping him. He's got that prime cnut factor, what your team has been missing regardless of his limitations.
England needed that kick to go over. Two converted tries to only draw is big.

That would be wise.
Cheers Marler.
Have a feeling by the time the United game starts later I’ll either be everyone’s best friend … or barred
Are you in Ireland? You'll be grand.
You do realize between this match and the Cheltenham festival most of Ireland is in or around London!
Hooker try-saving tackle
Surely that is that.
I’m in a very Irish part of North West London for my sins
Don't worry, we can hear that on the telly here from Twickenham
Minute to go.
England need two converted tries.

Would be nice if Ireland could build on this Six Nations win by giving themselves a good showing at the World Cup.
Always seem to disappoint.

Ireland have done it
Consolation try for England.

I don't know what to say. 2009 was such an unbelieveable rollercoaster, and the big emotion in this campaign was the France drop-goal. Today has been an efficient job done against a self-destructing England. It's immense consistency and stability that has delivered this, along with superb strength in depth.
A grand slam in Twickenham. Feckin hell.
I'll just leave it at this.

Well done Ireland and all the Irish on here. Always nice to see England lose!
The crazy thing is, England played really well.
Impressive stuff has to be said.
Really hope they can make a big impact in the world cup.
