Either a try or a sin-bin coming here. You can feel it

ref will make sure of it.
Ireland hugely wasteful and England very aggressive.
Surprisingly wasteful, they have had enough opportunities to be far ahead.
That’ll help his kicking 
It's very much just continuing the form of November though
CONNACHT'S BUNDEE AKI!
Another hook
I didn't watch Ireland in November so it's a bit surprising to me. England has some good moments but Ireland are dominating without getting any points.
Beat me to it
Need to get a hold of whoever Ramos's kicking coach is.
It was a really difficult kick but a hook was so easy to predictBeat me to it
England have been good but Ireland are making hard work of this.
Good kick Prendergast!
Good kick Prendergast!
o’queef really is shite.
feck OFF OKEEFE THERES NOTHING THERE
That's an awful call surely
On another day, England would have had more than one card at this stage though.
Lowe's left boot is misfiring
He missed two. And I never think he's going to score off the tee. Is there somewhere you can check his stats off the tee for Ireland?
Incredibly brainless by the England player.
Should have been a card.
Should have been a card.
Great try!!!
I think that's well deserved. England have been hanging on in this half.
I honestly thought he passed that forward on that last try
Poor ill disciplined second half for England, looks like they punched themselves out in the first half.
I know people used to make fun of the elaborate routines that modern kickers have, but neither Irish 10 has any routine whatsoever.
They could both do with the type of routine like McKenzie that takes you out of your own head and gives you something that's highly repeatable each time.

Yeah, the overhead shot showed it was fine though
The Irish guy Lowe should have been sinbinned though. The ref warned both teams and then didn't follow through. He was quick enough first half after a warning.
Fair enough
I’m sure there’s a Welsh lad who touches his face about 20 times as part of his routine.
England have been horrendous in the second half
Yeah that’s what I thought, warned them both about running in and shoving.
I think Ireland's wastefulness played a big part of it.
Once Ireland didn't panic, there was always a chance they could turn a millions chances into something.
Yeesh, Murley has had a brutal second half.
murley doing his best to take worst performance of the day away from the ref.
Yep, that too. If he was being strict, Lowe should have gone also.
Right, I think this is done and I’m off to hit the gym before it closes.
Well done Ireland
Mostly happy with how England have played
Ben OKeefe can go feck himself

Do you want them to smile?
On a serious note, McKenzie had his routine way before gaining consistency. His routine is memorable but he did something else to become good, early on the only thing that was sure was that in spite of his size he had the power for very long distance kicks.
Whatever works. The thing for the Irish lads is they just stand there doing nothing. Way too easy for nerves to creep in.
Only two scores in it.
Arguably he should have just given a yellow for persistent infringements. What does he need to wait for a break in play to warn them? They knew what they were at.
This has been a great second half performance.
