Ireland were the better rugby team but England had better front rowers starting and on the bench. Tighthead lock for both teams were monsters

I was at the game yesterday and the atmosphere and energy from both sides players and supporters really was amazing

What a GREAT GAME very WELL DONE to both teams.. 👏

Wow. What a great game and amazing skills. England and Ireland are going to be strong in the future

Lots of talent coming through from both nations, i keep hearing that England don't have the talent but that's not what i see there are some tremendous prospects some in the age groups and others in their early twenties who just need game time and good coaching to flourish.

fantastic game! congratulation to both teams🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇮🇪

I think we have established who the worst TMO. Linesmen are. How was that first English try awarded and how far and how many times must you be offside to get hit with a penalty? Great game though. Two great teams.

Great performance by both teams.I was very impressed

Fair result by the looks of it. Cracking game with admirable skill levels given their age

I usually veer away from criticising the refs (bloody thankless job so fair play to them), but quite a lot of questionable calls against Ireland all match. Calling knock-ons when it came off knees, calling forward passes that were clearly backwards, and of course the double movement try. But i guess the ref is still building experience at this level.

He called two knock ins against us that weren’t. I’d forgive him that as these thing swing both ways but where was the TMO for that first try.

Thought we'd be in serious trouble without Brian Gleeson and Andrew Sparrow but fair play to the Irish lads for sticking in it.

What a game 🎉

Eng seemed to pick big lads with fairly average skillset whilst the irish had smaller lads who were more speed/skill focused. It helps to explain why the senior teams for both nations are performing so differently

This was a very physical game from two very passionate sides. I think the English will feel hard done by with the penalty at the end. A great game of rugby.

I'm so confused and if I'm being silly please be kind, but why did the commentary say england have won the six nations with a game to spare 😮 okay but Ireland had a try bonus point and a losing bonus point if they lost. That would put Ireland at 16 points and England at 20 points with a game to go, so why did they think England won the championship if they beat ireland with a bonus point? Please explain and be nice about It thank you very much. 😊

​@jackdeegan3617 I Know but I'm talking about a what it if scenario, so when England thought they had won before the referee went back for the penalty the commentary said England have won the championship with a game to spare. However if the game ended then Ireland would have had a try and a losing bonus point, which would have put them on 16 points and England on 20. Throughout the game the commentary kept saying if they beat Ireland with a bonus point then they won the championship with a game spare. It makes no sense

England off the pace with their passing today under little pressure on the edge with overlaps. Didn’t use their forward dominance unfortunately.

That last advantage to Ireland was ridiculous. This law/rule needs to be changed as it seems unless the side with advantage score a try it goes back. They gained ground, went through lots of phases, advantage was more than over imo.

Ireland were the better team but England had the better tmo

@@ggg-eg5pz Here it's the U20 and there is a World Championship every year (except when there was a pause due to covid travel restrictions) Also you forgot that during the 6 Nations there's a pause in the Irish national tournament while in the french one they are still playing. So when Ireland has all the players available France as some of the best U20 in their clubs in top 14 ot Pro D2. In the last game against England and because theire is a pause in the French tournament there will be 11 U20 world Champions in the French team !

Not sure where the Eng win the 6Ns comes from tbh. Just watched the Azzurri batter Scot & likely the wooden spoon. IRE will likely comfortably beat them w/ a bonus pt, so final total of 22 pts. ENG will do well to win away in FRA, so also end up w/ 22 pts. They'll need a bonus pt win in FRA to win it all.
