Clear 
If Itoje ever was truly international level, he definitely isn’t any longer. Very average, club level player and ineffective as captain. Nothing against him as a person; just don’t think he’s up to much. Someone suggested that Borthwick made him captain for sentimental reasons. Hard to argue.
Not quite
I’m not at a loss for words because I’m still speaking.
Non-Ireland fans are in for a looong week.
When has a rucked formed?
Ball on the ground, at least one player from each team bound over the ball. Once a ruck has been formed, it is illegal to handle the ball, even if you are on your feet or flying on wings. Referees please note; no hands in the ruck!

Can’t believe what I saw in that first half lol
How is it not a penalty to England for the tackler not rolling away if the ball hasn’t crossed the whitewash?
Don’t give up England. Teams have bounced back from 22-0 before. You can do it!
Okay give up. You can’t do it.
Porous English defence? That’s putting it mildly.
WTAF is England doing?
Andrea Piardi coming off could be the best thing to happen for this game. His “body is gone”. Along with his mind.
Andrea Piardi fans in for a long week.
Jack Crowley fans in for a long week.
Who is that?
George Ford fans in for a long week.
3 rucks in a row. Irish bodies in the way. Pathetic (refereeing) that they’re still allowed to get away with that.
