I came here just to look at that again - completely agree. No attempt at a proper tackle, and it was very similar to the yellow card offense at the end of the game, just didn't look as bad. Slightly softer maybe, but very similar.
First Ireland try was a forward pass. How do they not spot these things these days?! Anyway, was a pleasure to watch. England's back-line moves all worked very well!
Much as I love England I've watched them for too long to get carried away. The team are capable of the sublime and the embarrassing.... in the same match.

@@LeMerch All that's up is that they stuck with out of form & out of position players in the 6N on reputation, got absolutely steamrollered by England, and haven't looked half the team they did a year ago since.
Disastrous from Ireland, never seen a Joe Schmidt team look so lost on a pitch. England look very strong though, defo one of the main World Cup contenders
Like Scotland last week and Wales 2 weeks ago they're not match fit. This is pre season. Since this is England's 3rd Warm Up game they will be more ready for the World Cup and I expect them to challenge for the title.
Archie Craigie Halkett All teams should be ready by now. Those that aren’t ready yet may improve but they have a lot of catching up to do. Wales, Ireland and Scotland haven’t got time to catch up with England’s preparation. There are no bonus points to help those teams who have not sorted their pre RWC build up correctly..
@@nicholaswhite3811 what an amazing win for England but saying wales aren't ready is a little short minded considering they beat england the weekend before this
Christopher Bevan not short minded at all, based on the evidence of last three weeks. In both matches Wales played a full strength XV ( injuries permitting) , England fielded a below full strength side with several,players out of normal position. Wales did very little to show they were ready. The margin of victory by England in the first game was convincing, and resounding. The margin of victory by Wales in the second match was about as narrow as it gets in such a low scoring game. I don’t take anything away from the Welsh players in scoring the North Try. They took advantage of the situation they were presented with and scored. But it was lucky in that it should not have happened. The referee was reprimanded for allowing play to continue during a HIA replacement. World Rugby has issued a formal reminder to all referees that when a player leaves the field for HIA play does not continue until his replacement is on the pitch ready to play. If we consider this as relevant the margin of victory was very slim and not consistent with a team that is ready for RWC. Next week may see a different performance and we could then safely say Wales are ready but not until they provide the evidence.
England need to exploit any weakness in the opposition like I used to do in the mid 1970's. Hahaha. Anyway, always enjoy watching England win, lose or draw. Every England player is special.
Well clearly it wasn't because the ref didnt give it and rugby isn't like football where the refs get to make a decision on what they think they have to follow the rule book
Jacob Stockdale's defence in this game was shocking. Seriously MIA on the Daly, Tuilagi and both Cockanasiga tries. Great finisher but running around like a headless chicken here defending.
Another great performance by England. I don’t want to gloat too much as I think we had an advantage over Ireland with the two Welsh slogs under our belt. Plus Ireland looked rustier than the titanic. But a lesser English side could have come off the gas, and produced a much more flattering result for Ireland. As it is; we definitely took full advantage of the situation. I think Italy next week will be a nice chance to try a few new combos, and then shit gets serious. But so far so bloody good!
Kyle Griffiths they did yes, and well done to them however i think England look by far the superior team when you consider wales were playing their A team, England their B team, and the victory was pretty slim (in fact only due to 1 try which legal or not, most refs would never have allowed to happen). I think Wales vs Ireland will be interesting.
Especially when you realize this Irish team would have crushed any other european team. Eddie Jones has really made a difference and the group he's leading to japan is definitely going for gold. I'm looking forward to not seeing the England-France game :s
Theoretically yes, England might be the best team in the world on their good days. BUT, England have a huge problem with their mental attitude. We regularly lose away and drop focus in the last 40. If we can keep true, we can win.
JS C I agree about 15, although they just need to swap Daly n Watson. But I think they have the right options at 10 because the Ford Farrell combo works (if Billy's fit), as does Farrell Tuilagi, Ford Francis, and Slade could also slot in if required. That's a lot of great options.

@Firsthgyhgyhuy Lastujhujhuj ... I would say that Ireland were genuine contenders 18 months ago and after those wins over the AB's and England arguably the #1 team in the world. However it seems that they peaked too early. It will be very hard now, given the evidence of this performance, for them to recapture their form of 18 months ago. Too many of their key players are out of form or perhaps on the downside of their careers.
steven taylor looking forward to the World Cup very even tournament. 3 weeks ago Australia got a win against New Zealand then the following week got trounced, England gets a solid win, Wales ends up #1 in the world. South Africa wins the Champions cup. Any of these teams on the day can beat each other no easy beats.
@@paulrutherford5087 I agree, NZ most likely just because it is a world cup. South Africa, Wales and England are joint 2nd most likely. Ireland, Australia are 3rd, despite their recent thrashings I doubt any of the above will be complacent playing them.
Whilst some are saying you can't read too much into these sort of friendlies I find it absolutely frightening when Jones says that they are 10% away from peak fitness and England have a lot more in them. Good momentum has been made so far and we can expect a thrilling world cup whichever way it goes.
Phil Morris what does that even mean “10% away from Peak fitness” ... he’s just enjoying the fact that he’s actually winning again. I’m sure he’ll be the first to say “we lost last week - but to the number one team in the World” ... which all know Wales are not!
Sometimes they can't make it into aus or NZ so travel get paid the big bucks and make other international teams it's awesome and I say good on them they play well
i mean i'll say it, ben youngs was lucky ireland had a poor day. his entire game was riddled with mistakes and not simply ones that can be put down to him being a bit rusty. bright note was willi heinz impact
I think that’s a little harsh. He had a few duff moments but most of England’s points were scored while he was playing. No way a team can play that well if the 9 isn’t doing something right, no?
@@MartinG_TH-cam He had a very bad game. Kicked out on the full twice. Most of his other box kicks were too long and just gave Ireland the ball back which isn't ideal when you're still in your own half. He passed the ball to the feet of players 3-4 times and once to literally no one. Everyone can forgiven a few mistakes but not 10+ in a single match. Personally I would have given him a rating of 3/10 for the match.
@@philipeafroboy1 Pause it at 3:04 as it leaves youngs hands and its fine. We have had our share of kick chasers etc offside and been given tries over the years too so I'm not grumbling, just stating an observation.
An in form Manu, with an in form Billy trucking it up the middle, and big Joe outside Manu, or looping back infield.. Defenders just saying "your man".. "No your man"... "No please, after you"
Watching a inform Nonu. How Hansen's not taking him is unbelievable. Nonu and Laumapi are our 2 Tuilagi's and both not going to W.C. Instead they've chosen Sonny and Crotty. Both injury prone 🤬
Ireland’s first try - that pass out to stockdale was so blatantly forward! It leaves his hands on a clear line in the grass and is collected about 5m in front of it
Stockdale is abysmal defensively.. I've said it for 18 months and people just look at his attacking flair.. He's a liability as a defender, and has done nothing to put it right..
Tolly T Interesting. England obviously played a blinder and had an overlap which caused him to rush instead of drift, but it seams he really couldn’t make the right decisions and was caught out several times. Maybe he was just the unlucky position that got exposed, but it happened a few times in the game
@@thecuttingsark5094 it can be worked on, but they're either not doing it, or he isn't listening. It's not just yesterday's game as I've watched him closely. He gets dragged out of position and gives the outside when there's too much space to do it.. I know he backs himself and that's great, but Big Joe is fast, yet not the absolute quickest and he was able to put a yard or two on Stockdale yesterday after being shown the outside. That shows he's slow to turn, and his positional game isn't the best..
You mean the 'Englishman' Joe Cokanasiga whose father was in the British Army? Where have you been hiding? He played in the summer internationals for England but has been injured since...
Look, we all know Ireland are a much better side than that, but perhaps the most promising thing for us is that we didn't have our traditional collapse after gaining a good lead and managed to maintain the pressure.
@Dominic Lawson new Zealand had 1 player sevu Reece born outside of New Zealand in there last match day 23. There pre world cup squad of 38 there is a total of 2 born outside of New Zealand with the other being Vaea Fifita.
Regarding the foreign-born players: there is - generally - a BIG difference between coming through the underage system (England), and been eligible via residency or other connections (Ireland).
Ireland probably realised their front line players were too old after the six Nations and had to blow it up and build again Playing England at HQ under these circumstances is an automatic 21 point handicap but geeze they got smashed
Great performance England. Different class. It seems to me that Ireland need to bring in some new talent and rebuild their side. Tweaking the team with this or that player isn't going to do it.
Moggy471 he’s definitely athletic but Manu just has that natural power and explosiveness. A lot of people could never get quads like his, even on steroids
@@Jakwob888 I have May, Coko and Watson at 15. I love Daly but he's still not great under high ball and his defence at 15 has been exposed twice in 2 weeks. I'd have him on a wing but he's left footed and never been on the right so I'd bench him and May at 11 is incumbent
Hard to tell who the real number one team in the world is right now. Going to be competitive world cup. There's a good chance England vs All Blacks in the semi finals
Eliot Daly has always been a terrible fullback, he is around or thereabouts for so many opposition tries and either gets muscled out of the way or is paying attention to the wrong guy. Hope he does better at 13 this weekend...
@James Solda Straight and obvious red card. This isn't pussy rugby league were you can team up and tackle people and get dirty cheap shots in on unaware players. Leading with the shoulder at head height is the most dumbass thing ive ever seen.
New systems, new coach. Rugby changes just like any other sport. Plus this was a World Cup year so obviously everything came to a crescendo tactically speaking. I don't think it's doom and gloom for England, though. We looked the best we have since 2019 in attack against Scotland and Borthwick is actually picking on form players in their actual positions and backing youngsters like willis, Lawrence, OHC and Arundell. I think they'll turn it around.

If the ball travels forward a perceptible distance it was thrown forward as defined in Law 12 preamble.

Lets see if this happens in the world cup, consistency wins trophies not friendlies
@Firsthgyhgyhuy Lastujhujhuj ... I would say that Ireland were genuine contenders 18 months ago and after those wins over the AB's and England arguably the #1 team in the world. However it seems that they peaked too early. It will be very hard now, given the evidence of this performance, for them to recapture their form of 18 months ago. Too many of their key players are out of form or perhaps on the downside of their careers.
steven taylor looking forward to the World Cup very even tournament. 3 weeks ago Australia got a win against New Zealand then the following week got trounced, England gets a solid win, Wales ends up #1 in the world. South Africa wins the Champions cup. Any of these teams on the day can beat each other no easy beats.
@@paulrutherford5087 I agree, NZ most likely just because it is a world cup. South Africa, Wales and England are joint 2nd most likely.
Ireland, Australia are 3rd, despite their recent thrashings I doubt any of the above will be complacent playing them.

@Jehffo are you ok son
Can anyone post the link for full match. Had it but lost it. Please!
Whilst some are saying you can't read too much into these sort of friendlies I find it absolutely frightening when Jones says that they are 10% away from peak fitness and England have a lot more in them. Good momentum has been made so far and we can expect a thrilling world cup whichever way it goes.
Phil Morris what does that even mean “10% away from
Peak fitness” ... he’s just enjoying the fact that he’s actually winning again. I’m sure he’ll be the first to say “we lost last week - but to the number one team in the World” ... which all know Wales are not!
Job done England , in with a good chance along with abs Aussies and wales in my opinion , best of luck from a Scotsman 🇬🇧
and SA, france, Scotland
Salt Salty don’t be silly
@@nationstates7699 On current form, I would definitely add SA to your list, the other two are perfectly capable of pulling of an upset

That number 14 is fijian born in fiji.
So many islanders scattered around the world in rugby.
yup! Youve got a giant of a winger and an absolute beast in the centres. Lessgooo Pacific! proud PI right here!

Sometimes they can't make it into aus or NZ so travel get paid the big bucks and make other international teams it's awesome and I say good on them they play well
Did Jonny May pick up an injury (serious injury)
No
someone knows the music at 2:07 ?
i mean i'll say it, ben youngs was lucky ireland had a poor day. his entire game was riddled with mistakes and not simply ones that can be put down to him being a bit rusty. bright note was willi heinz impact
Youngs was crap, but he has had little game time.
I think that’s a little harsh. He had a few duff moments but most of England’s points were scored while he was playing. No way a team can play that well if the 9 isn’t doing something right, no?
@@MartinG_TH-cam He had a very bad game. Kicked out on the full twice. Most of his other box kicks were too long and just gave Ireland the ball back which isn't ideal when you're still in your own half. He passed the ball to the feet of players 3-4 times and once to literally no one. Everyone can forgiven a few mistakes but not 10+ in a single match. Personally I would have given him a rating of 3/10 for the match.
@Firsthgyhgyhuy Lastujhujhuj ?
Mate, he was awful. Your analysis isn’t accurate.
The first Ireland try looked like it had a forward pass.
Youngs to Itoje looked forward as well so I guess that evened it up
I didn’t really matter!
@@ollieflux5628 Not in the grand scheme of things.
@@philipeafroboy1 Pause it at 3:04 as it leaves youngs hands and its fine. We have had our share of kick chasers etc offside and been given tries over the years too so I'm not grumbling, just stating an observation.
Yes! Bloody obvious!...
Where has this england gone?
for the first 50 minutes, England even played in 14 men at some points of the game. Youngs had a shocker or so.
Is there anything more satisfying than watching an in-form Manu Tuilagi?!
Nothing better brother
An in form Manu, with an in form Billy trucking it up the middle, and big Joe outside Manu, or looping back infield.. Defenders just saying "your man".. "No your man"... "No please, after you"
@@tollyt7465 😂👌
No, well maybe him and big zoe on the outside.
Watching a inform Nonu. How Hansen's not taking him is unbelievable. Nonu and Laumapi are our 2 Tuilagi's and both not going to W.C.
Instead they've chosen Sonny and Crotty. Both injury prone 🤬
How can irland be number 1?
Import Samoa and Tonga and Fiji.
@@gordonferrar7782 there’s 1 islander in the entire irish squad for this years six nations so that theory is out the window
As an Irish fan, going into the World Cup with little momentum doesn’t surprise me.
Ireland’s first try - that pass out to stockdale was so blatantly forward! It leaves his hands on a clear line in the grass and is collected about 5m in front of it
Looking forward to France vs England #RugbyWorldCup💙
And so are England.France no chance against this England side
I'll say Argentina is going to surprise one of those. Remember my words.
I know England are clear favorites to qualify from that pool 2nd behind France lol
That commentator spoils the game for me, I know I can turn off the sound but that would mean turning all other sounds of the game off too.
Did Stockdale have a horrendous defensive game?
The footage is here for you to be the judge of that.
Nearly as bad as his trim
Stockdale is abysmal defensively.. I've said it for 18 months and people just look at his attacking flair.. He's a liability as a defender, and has done nothing to put it right..
Tolly T Interesting. England obviously played a blinder and had an overlap which caused him to rush instead of drift, but it seams he really couldn’t make the right decisions and was caught out several times. Maybe he was just the unlucky position that got exposed, but it happened a few times in the game
@@thecuttingsark5094 it can be worked on, but they're either not doing it, or he isn't listening. It's not just yesterday's game as I've watched him closely. He gets dragged out of position and gives the outside when there's too much space to do it.. I know he backs himself and that's great, but Big Joe is fast, yet not the absolute quickest and he was able to put a yard or two on Stockdale yesterday after being shown the outside. That shows he's slow to turn, and his positional game isn't the best..
This was like a 90's Ireland England game.
More like early 2000s.
well done england on a great performance - but ireland were shocking and made it easier than it should have been...
Well, I think the England boys proved a point there.
Whatever happened to the big Fijian winger? Never heard of him after this game?
You mean the 'Englishman' Joe Cokanasiga whose father was in the British Army? Where have you been hiding? He played in the summer internationals for England but has been injured since...
Look, we all know Ireland are a much better side than that, but perhaps the most promising thing for us is that we didn't have our traditional collapse after gaining a good lead and managed to maintain the pressure.
Yeah it was the same in the first Wales game, we stayed in the game in the last 20 minutes although we did drop off alot in the middle of the game
Anyone know how many of England's team are English?
@Dominic Lawson that's embarrassing.
@Dominic Lawson for any team that has that amount of players born and raised outside of that country. I think Australia is even worse.
@Dominic Lawson new Zealand had 1 player sevu Reece born outside of New Zealand in there last match day 23. There pre world cup squad of 38 there is a total of 2 born outside of New Zealand with the other being Vaea Fifita.
@Dominic Lawson nope does not matter as long as they are born there. And it doesn't matter what there families did before them.
Regarding the foreign-born players: there is - generally - a BIG difference between coming through the underage system (England), and been eligible via residency or other connections (Ireland).
Ireland probably realised their front line players were too old after the six Nations and had to blow it up and build again
Playing England at HQ under these circumstances is an automatic 21 point handicap but geeze they got smashed
Well done england red 🌹
Great performance England. Different class. It seems to me that Ireland need to bring in some new talent and rebuild their side. Tweaking the team with this or that player isn't going to do it.
Why do so many of them have the same boots?
Back when England actually had big ball carriers in the backs
Owen ferrel will be dangerous in the world cup this time
Underhill probably could of scored himself lol

All the neck roll tackles around the clean out are a worry.
Irish defence and organisation was absolutely shocking!
Who did George kruis nearly write off?
John Smith jack carty
There’s nobody like Tuilagi he’s a genuine freak of nature
Moggy471 he’s definitely athletic but Manu just has that natural power and explosiveness. A lot of people could never get quads like his, even on steroids
How does Watson fit 8nto the puzzle, will daley become a reserve
He's currently not good enough to be there.
@@xfosda yes he is. Watson always plays well and is the best high ball taker in England by a long way
James Cussons still think Jonny may and coko are much better than Watson. Eliot daly is better too at 15. Watson sits on the bench for me tbh
@@Jakwob888 I have May, Coko and Watson at 15. I love Daly but he's still not great under high ball and his defence at 15 has been exposed twice in 2 weeks. I'd have him on a wing but he's left footed and never been on the right so I'd bench him and May at 11 is incumbent
James Cussons will definitely be interesting to see the squad soon as the World Cup starts !
Hard to tell who the real number one team in the world is right now. Going to be competitive world cup. There's a good chance England vs All Blacks in the semi finals
Statistically a easy question = nz
Eliot Daly has always been a terrible fullback, he is around or thereabouts for so many opposition tries and either gets muscled out of the way or is paying attention to the wrong guy. Hope he does better at 13 this weekend...
2:11 Curry gets a high tackle, looks like a yellow tbh?
@James Solda Straight and obvious red card. This isn't pussy rugby league were you can team up and tackle people and get dirty cheap shots in on unaware players. Leading with the shoulder at head height is the most dumbass thing ive ever seen.
I’m confused this is basically the same England team and the same Irish team… wtf happened ??!
New systems, new coach. Rugby changes just like any other sport. Plus this was a World Cup year so obviously everything came to a crescendo tactically speaking. I don't think it's doom and gloom for England, though. We looked the best we have since 2019 in attack against Scotland and Borthwick is actually picking on form players in their actual positions and backing youngsters like willis, Lawrence, OHC and Arundell. I think they'll turn it around.
Irish team is not the same.
No Rory best
No Rob Kearney
No CJ stander
No Jacob Stockdale
No Jordan larmour
I was there but I’m glad for highlights like these due to free hospitality leading to remembering sod all of the match
Was on the other video for this match there was no salty comments from that cant say the same for this one lol 🤣😭
The consistency of the Roses is sweet. Eddie might finally get the RWC.
Didn't Wales beat them in their last game? Knocked those wheels right off their chariots.
I can totally see England taking a leaf out of the All Blacks play book😂😂
@@kylegriffiths4463 Wales scraped a win at home with a dubious try using essentially their first team against an England second team and losing on aggregate score over the 2 games. I wouldn't be boasting too much about "knocking those wheels right off" considering you lost to use by more only the week before.
