England Saxons vs Ireland A

[Cap'n Grumpy]

good (bad ) try under the posts by Saxons

Maybe a couple of refereeing decisions going England's way.

try & conversion by SG

14-6

Ref misses a blatant knock-on there...

TJ also missed foot in touch by Engerland when Carr was stripped.

All in all they helped to maintain the English pressure.

I haven't seen much of MOD this year, I didn't realise he had got this bad... Toner crap as well. Dowling crap. Stringer has been awful, bad distribution, terrible decisions.

whatever second row is on our bench - get him on at half-time, he can't be worse than these two... and get stringer off, we'll have a chance.

I have to agree.In particular I'm moaning about Dowling all the time.He just can't seem to hold on to the ball.

Some of our tackling very poor.Sad state of affairs when Duffy is vying to be called our best back thus far.

Pretty poor officiating thus far.

Indeed but as Barnesy keeps informing us "the ref is only human".I wonder would he be so understanding if the ref was giving all the decisions the other way.

That said we are doing enough of a job ourselves to lose this game.If we weren't making silly errors the ref wouldn't matter, as much at any rate.

[Cap'n Grumpy]

just seen an example of Carr's (alleged) inability to catch, when he failed to run onto a potential try-scoring pass

1st half poor display reflects poor choices in selection, particularly at 9, 10!

Stringer hard to watch!
