god that england ireland game was turgid, not sure what was more dispiriting ireland not having the ambition to give england a true kicking, ronan o'gara having a complete mare, and ireland not having anyone else to bring on at fly half, or both teams inability to do more than punt the ball to each other for most of the match.
such a let down after the france wales game.
and with france being on such a high I worry for england when they play them, if france can get any sort of half back play they should cut through england.
on an england note, why do they still continue to play harry ellis at scrum half, he never seems to deliver quick ball, always slowing it down, looking over the top, pausing, pausing, and then producing a box kick, despite the petulant danny care getting sin binned he seemed to get the ball moving out of the ruck much quicker, though not sure he'll be in the squad, let along the starting 15 for england come the next match...
oh and where did france find Mathieu Bastareaud, he's a big old piece of centre, 17 1/2 stone, quick, good hands, and able to run over forwards... england watch out...
