Why are all the Ireland players carrying their mobile phones in a wee pocket between their shoulder blades?

Think you will be fine - poor choices from England at the wrong time.
Ireland far more aggressive at rucks.

Well that was more nerve racking a finish than it should have been.

That last move summed up the game
Well battled from Ireland - lots of high ball , aggressive at the rucks - played on the edge
Lots of errors from England ( forced ) , poor choices , lazy at times - allowed Ireland to dominate them at set pieces
Referee was awful

If any of the NH teams kick that much ball away against SH teams you will get destroyed by SA , NZ Or Aus
Eng gota get away from the battering ram number 8 style , i thought rugby left that crash ball style behind many years ago

As normal by Ireland they are what the ref lets go at rucks and then push the boundaries, it's common amongst their pro teams too.
Surprised at England, I thought they'd have shown more

The ref seemed very very lenient at rucks towards Ireland - lots of hands in and not releasing and then allowed them plenty of time when a maul was stagnant.
But England showed nowhere near enough to win it

Phil, it's a common theme theme where Ireland are concerned, some refs penalise it some let it go. No consistency.
Owens called twice to the scrum half last night during a maul in the Glasgow Munster game so the 9 should have used it on the second call or penalised the maul for the 9 leaving the ball in, what happened was one more big push and a try came from it, it shouldn't have stood.
Inconsistent

As Martin said tho Phil , ref will set the tone for the game , punish it early it stops , dont & it wont ..
close tense game , not a good game tho i think

Makes for a good final weekend. Another poor game, Wales could nick it

Not a chance of Scotland stopping Ireland on this weekends performances.

But he seemed to punish England for it very quickly
Was sharp with them at both the rucks and mauls and offsides but not consistent towards both sides
And twice Ireland took the ball in - England stopped it going back yet he gave the scrum to Ireland ?!
