Two oot aye three aint bad mate

Yep two out of three aint bad! lol

Well we got the main win. Fact. Indeed it was a hard, and not only physical, but a real brutal match. Some kicking the kidneys, and punching there was way out of order. But the sin bin would have spoilt a great game where a team, not only had to win, but win on merit! Thought overall the Ref had a good game, though of course both sets of supporters at time thought differently. But the fact remains, no matter what and how the Irish tried, the English youngsters contained them. They are getting masters at defensive play. Indeed, regardless of biases, they were a joy to watch in that area.

I was / am very surprised at how many of these youngsters have had less that 20 caps, and even more, well a darn site more surprised just how many hadn't even got to double figures. A couple or more even on less that 2!

Must auger well for the future I think EVERYONE must agree. Yes the weather played it's part. It was a cold, wet and chilly day for both sides which makes a difference of course to the standard of play actually allowed to be played.

On a upper or come downer, this extremely hard brutish game showed such resilience and bottle. So now one has to see which players are, or would be prepared to go through the same again if, and when it comes to it.

I did think the kicking of ribs, digging them there and the stamping, like on that ankle was deserving of at the 'Sin Bin' at least, or red carded. In-case any one thinks I wrote saying / interpret different.

I see Healy has been cited for stamping on Cole which led to the fracas

It arose 2 or three times which was a shame. Remember Johnson, Dallaglio etc. being sorted big time after, for offences as such. Laurie for Thumping that giant New Zealander Jonal Lomu and Johnson doing a similar. I would hard it hard to see how nationalised infringements, besides the unsporting and bring the disrepute into play can be left untried. Certainly not 'Role Model' behaviour.

Though in retrospect, the Red Cards not wielded meant only more the facts of their performance, in as much no excuses of a red card helping. So in reality NOW is the time to sort it.
