Sorry to say I don't think 12 point start is enough for England to turn over Ireland, our forwards will be totally outclassed apart from Earl. I can't believe we haven't found anyone to replace Cole or Marler yet, it's seriously grim. Borthwick did well to get us close to a world cup final , but we had the luck of the draw and don't seem to really have an identity. I'd have loved to see Smith start, but after injury he's only on the bench. The machine that is Ireland will just be too ruthless for us I fear, and I can see an away win of between 15-18 points. Hope I'm wrong of course

Foregone conclusion mate.

not a hope Col.
This will go right to the wire. Nobody over here expecting anything else.
England have some very good players who are just stuck in a system that is transitioning and hasn’t sparked yet.

the set piece will dictate the game. Eng have picked 3 second row players to disrupt the lineout and add bulk to the scrum. Break even there and it’s a coin toss

England totally dominated but still behind now ! Missed chances, disallowed try and Ford missing sitters. How very England
 
Another clueless offside from England ffs. Gifted another 3 points to Ireland. 12-8 Ireland , and been nearly all England ! Until we order in some new brains for the dopey ****ers continually giving away dumb pens, nothing will change !
