Referee penalising England already for coming in at the side at the breakdown.Something I felt the officials missed in Cardiff.

Ireland have started ferociously here : they're certainly up for it

Ref is to-ing and fro-ing a bit here.Ignoring a few instances of in from the side but by Ireland but penalising England for the offence.

Also, could we have had a yellow apiece already?

A shot on Haskell during the early Ireland encampment on the England line, then later Hartley made a no arms charge in defence for England.

3-9 latest score, 32mins.

Sexton missed a quite straightforward pen a few minutes ago and a little bit of hell froze over.

3-9, 38mins.

Yeah he doesn't miss much these days. I would have expected him to get that.

He's put in some great tackles tho.

Even if England stop giving away stupid penalties, they are not showing much sign of scoring.
Hard to believe England lost 2 line outs in a row in (around) the 22 and failed to score even 3 points.
Still, looks live the last day and match will be very interesting.

Pressure of the match and pressure from Ireland.They aren't quite the world beaters the London media build them up as.

Ireland back row starting to get the upper hand on their opponents.

Big test of Robshaw's Captaincy here.


Ireland touch the ball down and it goes to TMO.

Clearly grounded and given,Sexton gets the conversion.

19-3, 53mins.

Maybe not world beaters but they are a huge force in rugby. This is not the England team we usually see.

Excellent try and a great conversion.

I thought the try scored off the penalty was inspired!

Go Ireland!!

They have by far and away the biggest pool of players in world rugby.
One 6nations title and Triple Crown since the glory year of 2003 is absolutely appalling for their position in the world game.

Please keep the conversation relative to the game, or are you too thick to do that?

Could've been aimed at me,although I've only had a go at the English media.

Looks like we aren't going to be the ones sucking lemons this 6nations weekend

The Aviva Stadium is excellent but it did get a full renovation a few years back.

I'm gonna mark the Millenium Stadium off my list in September for the World Cup.
