Ireland denied us the double slam so it was only fair we returned the favour 😉 Brilliant test match we bring the best out in each other. Roll on next Saturday I absolutely love the 6nations
This is what the 6 nations is about. We stopped England doing it now they have repaid us. England showing true passion and making Twickenham their fortress again. I’m sickened ireland couldn’t get the back to back slam but I’m glad the competition is alive again. What a result for Italy aswell. The competition needed this. Pure passion. Ireland abú ☘️🇮🇪
This is what makes rugby a brilliant sport Ireland lost and no shouting at ref England are tough at home as this proves and the six nations is the ultimate winner ...a great tournament
I haven't seen England play so well and so hard in a long time. Ireland couldn't cope with them for whatever reason. The win will do great things for this English team, the loss for Ireland wiil put their feet back on the ground. An Irisn guy here who watched on the comp in Eastern Europe, a dodgy connection at times, missed Ireland'searly 2nd half try!! What a fantastic game of rugby. Well done England!!
That was one of the best matches I've seen for a long time - and I'd echo many of the comments here: Ireland didn't lose that match, England won it - but either team could have, couldn't they? - It was one heck of a match: Man I love this game.
England totally deserved it but Ireland should have stolen it . Why Murray kicks possession back to England with just 60 seconds on the clock was mind boggling 😂 Still best team on the day won
Irish fan here - massive credit to England they were insane and they really brought their A game. Ben Earl scored such a brilliant try and they really we’re definitely the better team today 100%. A lot for Ireland to work on and tbh I’m glad that it all comes down to next weekend for the title
Itoje always plays better when he has a proper tighthead lock next to him - Kruis, Launchbury, now George Martin. Lets him be a menace around the park and do the things that make him special, rather than just hitting rucks and making tackles.
As an Irish fan have full respect for England rugby, when the dour Scots and Wales refused to come in 1972, they came, even though they were under most threat. They also supported World Cup in Ireland unlike Wales and Scotland. We don't forget that support.
“We’re not very good but at least we turn up” - John Pullen. Not the greatest rugby player but one of the great rugby men. I went on several rugby tours of Ireland (amateur) in the 80s and 90s. I got the sh•t* knocked out me on the pitch (I wasn’t very good, either) but I don’t recall a single after-match piss-up that England’s turning up on THAT day wasn’t mentioned. England v Ireland should be the bitterest of all sporting contests. It’s intense but not bitter and it has always been my favourite away trip as a spectator. You’ve just illustrated why. Best wishes.
It's been a superb and close 6 Nations, with very few one sided games. Scotland beat England by 9, but were worried in the first half, then lost to Italy. Italy lost to England by 4, then drew (should have won) against France. France beat Scotland by 4, but that try at the end should have been given, then lost to Italy by 2. Only Ireland has looked world class...until they came up against an inspired England team!! It's great to see Italy throwing the accusations that they should be relegated from the 6 Nations back in people's faces. As an England fan....I shall be cheering you guys on next Saturday 😃👍
@@michaelpower4372 it still says W in the results column, and if George Ford had turned up with his kicking boots, add another ten points onto our total. Are you American? No one in the rugby world says "overtime"
As every Springbok fan knows you never, never write off an England team. They showed their class in the RWC semis, 2019 and 2023. They will be serious contenders in 2027, provided their fans and media leave them unmolested. They team is young, and coach is class.
I was in the east stand today and I was a fantastic game to watch as an Englishman. The anthem set the tone for that performance. We played like wild animals and although we gave Ireland so many gifts we played some really exciting rugby and it’s given us English something to be proud of again and some bragging rights for the first time since 2020🏴🌹🏴🌹🏴
But they won nothing , the trophy and medals w ill be handed out next saturday in Dublin , grow up England , only dance when you have silverware and medals in your pocket Matt Smith , its cringeworthy and embarrassing to see you celebrate a pyrrhic victory - no medals - sorry England.
You are obviously not a rugby fan, but an England hater, and unlike every Irish rugby fan and pundit who has given us credit for beating a world class team ( which you are....I'm the first to admit we only got to the WC semi final due to the draw...you got a stinker!!) you just have to come on here with your attitude. I expect these sorts of childish comments from idiotic football fans @@Tony-gh9de
Wow - What an impressive performance by England 🏴! Put Ireland under such pressure throughout. The English line speed & passing was impressive. Deserved the win- congrats from Ireland ☘️
@@MatthewChapmanYTmmm not sure he’s better than savea. But other than that he’s up there. Maybe on best days Doris and aldritt as well, botia? But he’s top 5
definitely the tensest match of the tournament - while I'm disappointed as an Irish fan - I think O'Driscoll is right it's better for the championship that we had this competitive weekend and Ireland didn't just glide to victory
I’m an Irish fan. Hats off to England great match well deserved win. Hate to say it but ultimately it is good for the Six Nations. Look forward to seeing you in Dublin next year!
🇮🇪 What a test match.... England were superb. They deserved the win. Played so much better then ireland. Love Wilkinson. Use to be fascinated with his kicking skill. Well done Eng and supporters.
Someone had to remind Ireland the arrogant northerns that’s Ireland are still 2nd best in the world….the funny thing is it was by a side that is still in a trail and test phase.
Big shout out to England, congratulations on your win, great to have you back, for Ireland, well we need to regroup and go again next week, England just showed us we need to bring it to a whole new level!
Congrats England, a young side but is building to be a deadly force.... Here for Wilko and Dallaglio! Two RWC winners. When England were Kings of Rugby i was a mad fan of England despite being from the SH and a Bok-ABs fan, I couldn't help but admire that team. That English side was a beast of a team who came to the South and showed us who was boss before the WC and then again at the WC in case anyone thought they were bluffing..... Well done England, you're moving in the right direction! Keep up the fight! Huge respect from the SH.
As a fan i am glad we won! the performance by england was greatly enhanced by the opposition to beat ireland at all is like beating nz or sa at the minute they are that good and unless we start beating them regularly we will only be ordinary
As an Irish man I always liked English rugby people. Fair shit to England they fronted up. I thought we were terrible against wales and I knew we wouldn’t get away with it at twickenham.
Ireland lost something going into the wales game. Went from 5th gear to 3rd gear and never got out of 2nd in this game. I hope it is nothing serious internally in the team and just a re adjustment. Should not be losing these games on paper. Well done England.
I disagree, England came in with great intensity and disrupted Ireland, as with all great teams they usually find a way to win, Ireland did that, leading with 1 min left on the clock but a poor decision and a poor kick gave England a chance. England played better for most of the game and deserved a win, but Ireland should have closed that game out.
@@Hawker12Don't ye lot english decide games on newspapers all the time. Look at the abuse Graham Taylor, Bobby Robinson, Don Revie, and more got on papers when in charge of england football team.
As a Welshman you know what I might innately think, but honestly fucking great rugby and England looked great and proud of our Welsh winger he was fantastic and unlucky on that turnover
As an England fan, can’t help but feel for you guys that he’s not playing for Wales. He’s a hell of a talent and would be tearing it up in gatlands side
They win without showing full potential very encouraging earle was world class some of the others could do a lot better but very happy with result cummmon
Le Crunch will be a good indicator of where this England rugby team stands . If they put in the same level of performance then it will be a fantastic spectacle to watch
Amazing to think how this would have been taken had we not done it at the end. All the things about the performance are true but that 1 point difference is all that matters. It should have been ten. Keep it up. Some tough tests to come
Yes england had a player more than Ireland with the way Murray keaped giving them the ball. Crawley wasn't much eighter. Wonder would Johnny Sexton come out of retirement till Ireland find a better replacement.🤕🤒😢..
England played a different game than before. Gone was Borthwicks kicking and hoping for the opposition to make mistakes. This time they attacked on all fronts but at real speed, ruck speed really fast. Like Birthwick was locked in the janitor’s room for the week and the team did what they knew they were capable of. (And I’m Irish!!!)
England reached the level Earl has been delivering all tournament. He has to be captain next World Cup surely… I’m honoured to have been flattened by him in his school boy highlights.
England played exceptionally well, if they can build on this then it bodes well the futures. Gotta do this kinda thing without your backs to wall though in order to become formidable. The test series in NZ will be an interesting test of where they're at
Shouldn't english fans be asking for there money back from their team for not turning up for other games. If they can turn up against Ireland how come they dont do it against other teams. Fans should be asking these questions and demanding their money back.😮
When England believe in themselves and actually keep the ball in hand they look like a proper team. The wobbly 20 mins they had is when they reverted to type and started kicking the ball away. So happy.
England team played their best and was a brilliant performance. As said grand slams are rare to win and it takes something more than great form from an experienced team, why they are so celebrated. Ireland have the title to play for and thats alot, More concerned that some teams are working out how to stop Ireland's play and the English blitz defence worked wonders..
Laziness cost us in other games,it must be going for it all game,to win by as much as you can,England need to get back to winning six nations and world cup,gotta do it always
Ireland are a good side, things clicked for England today though. Consistency will be the test. I can’t help feeling that there was an experience ration of victory in the Irish team, which is a dangerous thing. Confidence in your ability to win is key, expectation not so much.
At least the player who passed to the opposing team last week didnt repeat it. But the ball was thumbled again. Big man needs more practice. Love our team, But the guys work hard for some to thumble it away on them.
The only Blemish on the whole tournement has been those god awfull motorway adverts staring the commentator on the right. He should be ashamed of bringing the game into disrepute.
Instead of destroying our opponents game we actually played as if we wanted to win and put together an attacking formation worthy of a world class team!! 😢😢😢
England should of won by more,this was first game in six nation that england went for it for all game,ireland are brilliant but i always felt we were better if just go for it.
Six nations his one of the best tournaments theirs always set back look today Italy beat Scotland and England beat Ireland Wales might do it on France and theirs always twist and turns in six nations well done England that away we lost in the last minute hope won't effect the players too much we still have trophy to play after Scotland loosing today they come to Dublin with all guns blazing come on Ireland ye can do better than that
Anyone else think England should have gone for a try instead of kicking the drop goal? They already had a penalty coming in front of the posts, so literally had the win. I thought they looked on for a 4th try and getting it would of given them an extra bonus point, putting them on 13 now to Irelands 16. Could of been huge going into next weeks games. I think the excitement got to them a bit. Reminds me of when we would just want any sort of victory over New Zealand. Maybe more experienced heads would have thought of that. As it stands now with our bigger points difference, a losing bonus point is all Ireland needs to win the six nations.
What was the reasoning behind Murray kicking the ball away to England @ 79mins in a game??? Ireland were architects of their loss to be honest. England were the better team on this occasion no doubt and it just showed how much they needed the win.
As a die hard Irish fan, that was totally deserved from England, they were the better team all say long. Kept the tempo and intensity up all game.
Ireland denied us the double slam so it was only fair we returned the favour 😉 Brilliant test match we bring the best out in each other. Roll on next Saturday I absolutely love the 6nations

No taken away from England but the ireland we know didn't show up
Brian O'Driscoll is as much of a class act off the pitch as he was on it (from a delighted Englishman).
Why? Ireland never won much when he played for them.
Has any centre scored as many tries as BOD? And he also played for Leinster and the Lions @@michaelpower4372
Amazing to think how this would have been taken had we not done it at the end. All the things about the performance are true but that 1 point difference is all that matters. It should have been ten. Keep it up. Some tough tests to come

reminds me of the jonney wilkinson worldcup winning drop kick'
Ben Earl is one heck of a player at 8. It would be hard not to have him in the World XV loose forward combo with Savea and PSDT.

The only Blemish on the whole tournement has been those god awfull motorway adverts staring the commentator on the right. He should be ashamed of bringing the game into disrepute.
Instead of destroying our opponents game we actually played as if we wanted to win and put together an attacking formation worthy of a world class team!! 😢😢😢
Not a bad result for a team given no chance all weeklong.
England should of won by more,this was first game in six nation that england went for it for all game,ireland are brilliant but i always felt we were better if just go for it.
Drico delighted with the result.
We aint play Tiddly winks eh Brian LOL
What a beautiful game of rugby! 🍺🍺🍺
Three exciting games next weekend now.
Dricko talking logic
Six nations his one of the best tournaments theirs always set back look today Italy beat Scotland and England beat Ireland Wales might do it on France and theirs always twist and turns in six nations well done England that away we lost in the last minute hope won't effect the players too much we still have trophy to play after Scotland loosing today they come to Dublin with all guns blazing come on Ireland ye can do better than that
Hope you watched the match !!😎😎
Anyone else think England should have gone for a try instead of kicking the drop goal? They already had a penalty coming in front of the posts, so literally had the win. I thought they looked on for a 4th try and getting it would of given them an extra bonus point, putting them on 13 now to Irelands 16. Could of been huge going into next weeks games. I think the excitement got to them a bit. Reminds me of when we would just want any sort of victory over New Zealand. Maybe more experienced heads would have thought of that. As it stands now with our bigger points difference, a losing bonus point is all Ireland needs to win the six nations.
Nothing like O’Driscoll getting humbled. That man hated England with a passion
Ah, he respected England. To say hated is over the top. Quality player.
What was the reasoning behind Murray kicking the ball away to England @ 79mins in a game??? Ireland were architects of their loss to be honest. England were the better team on this occasion no doubt and it just showed how much they needed the win.
well deserved as an irish fan, england will be a force to be reckoned with when they find consistency, it's inevitable.
Well deserved England, all the way from Ireland. England definitely got us on that one
