What a cracking game of rugby that was at the weekend, where Ireland claimed their fourth Grand Slam in the history of the five/six nations Championship. England went down to 14 men just before half-time due to a dangerous hit from England full-back Freddie Stewart on Ireland full-back Hugo Keegan.

It was a cracking game of rugby from both sides and it was an awful shame that the game was ruined by a red card. Rugby is a game where you need the full 15 on the pitch, if not you are always fighting a losing battle. Fair play to England for sticking with it.
This England side aren’t as bad as people make out it seems…
Isn’t it just amazing how many people begrudge Ireland’s win against a very good English team which could have had another red card they got away with. The constant late tackle’s made on our captain should have been penalized more also. Game over Ireland win.
We were beaten by a better team. This incident was missed, it happens. Let’s move on and trust that we can make a reasonable show at the WC.
