Taken their foot off the gas, but England's discipline still tragic. Liking the old fella Nick Easter though.
Twelvetrees can't ****ing pass, he tries the same ****ing dummy every time he runs with the ball, a total ****ing liability. Bring back Tuilagi. A ****ing forward pass to finish with. Well done Ireland, better discipline, better plan, better execution. Good luck against Wales.
Self inflicted, we were all over the place. You just needed to keep your heads to win it. Giant my arse, 3rd best team in Europe when everyone is playing at the top of their game. On today's performance if you really think there is little between these teams I'd be a bit worried for the Irish. The big difference is the coach. He has you playing a very good percentage game, you'll pick up wins even when it's not pretty. England are a million miles from being able to win ugly against decent opposition. But we can be much better than we were today, it's infuriating, poor performances all over the place. Haskell, who was awesome against the Welsh, has disappeared for the next two games.
When everyone has their best 15 available,only New Zealand,South Africa and England are capable of winning this year's World Cup.England don't lose at home very often,and in World Cups only to one of the big guns!
I don't believe that for one second. Don't discount Australia, Wales or Ireland. A world cup being played in England means each of the countries from these islands will have great support and most of their games will be like a home match for each of them.
Australia's team simply is isn't good enough at the moment.Wales and Ireland have had better teams at previous World Cups and have flopped!France are the same,only England have won from the Northern Hemisphere.Playing every game at Twickenham is huge,and with players such as Tuilagi,Lawes,Brown,Parling to name but a few to return,it will take a top top team to beat them.I'm afraid that at this time,Australia,Wales and Ireland are not a top team!
