Oh no, potential knock on
Wow, that was absolutely class.
Forward. Unlucky
Shite
Argh, that's killer. So unlucky.
Choke tackle's working well today
Is that three times? It had become so rare these days.
What a steal
Itoje has had a very, very quiet game, hasn't he?
Love a good rip. A very satisfying skill.
How's stockdale been?
No flubs. I haven't noticed him too much. A few decent carries I think.
Yes! Tadhg loved that!
Furlong 
Great scrum though.
Great scrum though.
FURLONG
If England hadn't squeeked the win against France last weekend, Jones' job would be in doubt. England have been crap. Indisciplined and so flat.
Thatl be a red even though aki is almost on his knees making the tackle
That’s clear.
Feck off.
Red? Wow
I thought that was chest height. He was too high in the tackle though.
Feck me that’s harsh isn’t it?
For feck sake
I don't know about that
One of the harshest reds I've ever seen.
I don't think he was though. He was fairly upright. I do think it's harsh though.
Must have been some if he knocked him out in fairness
It's the letter of the law now. His shoulder hit him in the chin.
Ridiculously harsh.
Bloody hell that’s a harsh red
red all day by the laws. Caught his chin I think
Yeah, he was out cold. I don't feel it was as clear cut as the ref described it. They must have a better view of it.
There has to be mitigating circumstances, you can see Bundi getting as low as he can.
True I guess. Might give us a chance now but we don’t deserve much from this game. Can see Ireland digging in. They’re up for it.
Yes it's harsh but he wasn't as low as he could get at all and he sees him coming.
The only mitigation would be if Billy ducked at the last minute.
Yeah, I think he was looking for a dominant tackle and not all that low, especially with the current rules.
We're seeing it in all sports now though, there is no nuance allowed. His shoulder hit Billy's chin so it's a red by the letter of the law but I don't see how Aki could have gone any lower.
Responding well so far
Too well ffs! England seem to get frustrated far too quickly.Ref is quick to penalise today.
