we usually do, we miss a few opportunities to score, then let the game get away from us.

F U Ben O'Keeffe.

I'd settle for that.
Hmmm…..that’s probably fair though Maro really sold it well
should have been a penalty try to us since it was so close to the try line.
We let them off the hook there. The next England infringement would have been yellow.
Did that even catch Itoje? Very early whistle not playing that on
That’s already a ruck and he’s reached over it OKeefe you bent cnut
fecking wanker
I think he's just shit? That call in Ireland there was very harsh.
England gameplan is working very well
They're all putting a serious shift in too. Ireland have in them to win it but they need to switch on soon.
Ireland still have the same poor handling that they had in November, if slightly better
That was a bad decision to come back inside
Oh I’m already a fully paid up member mateWelcome to the Ben O'Keeffe Haters club.
Absolutely true, he’s fecking useless
Ha, TV here saying a huge improvement from Nov. I don't think so.
Nah he is bent, initially he was very good but over time he started to be very one sided within games. Nowadays the lad can't ref a half without screwing over a team.
Maybe take the 3 at this stage lads
At some point surely they should take 3
So many passes behind players
Well if he wants us to win he's going to have to step it up.
Fabulous solo effort by JGP
That's great by Lowe.
Brutal kick by Prendergast. Fecking hell
Aye, you can't miss them at this level.
It's pretty funny, after the boys in studio rinsing Crowley last night over his kicking
Ive criticised Prendergast’s kicking from the tee before and it might make the difference as this game looks like it’s going to be tight
Never looked confident at all.
He was a very good kicker at u20s, but his style of kicking seems very susceptible to nerves. All his kicks for the seniors have looked rocky like that.
Big scrummaging downgrade for England
His style of kicking just doesn't look robust enough.
It's fine when his confidence is high, but it's way too easy for it to collapse when the pressure is on.
He needs to build a much stronger routine that's repeatable under all conditions.
feck me the cnut gave us a standard bread and butter penalty advantage. I take it all back
Yeah, and often on what look like bankers.
Yeah he’s weirdly straight-on to the ball and posts. Looks like it’s made for hooking it
Not too surprised at that scoreline.
This was a year when England had a good shot at it based on form.

That's it, isn't it?
He always looks like that hook is on.
Way too easy for yips to creep into each kick.
Surely someone at Leinster/Ireland can get hold of him and sort it out. I actually really like the rest of his game, but this is always going to cast a shadow, partly because you don’t have another kicker to take the duties (like having a Ramos at full back would make it a non-issue)
BoD has a good point on comms - that Irish try is as much on steward overrunning the line on JPG as it is on Mitchel
Prendergast missing one doesn’t make Crowley’s record any less poor, unfortunately.
I just wonder if we should be letting someone else have a crack if both our 10s aren’t up to scratch off the tee?
could really do without England being good this year as well as Wales being shit
