PURE DRAMA | Extended highlights from England v Ireland. A Six Nations classic.

[@feliscorax]

Win, lose, or draw, what’s so great to see about this England performance is just how much passion and pride has been restored to the players wearing the shirt. I hope this is the start of something for the team because it’s been a hard few years being an England rugby supporter. Hard luck, Ireland, who are still the best team in the world on their day for my money - but yesterday was not that day. Yesterday was England’s day and it was glorious!

[@Hatch-vg7pw]

YOU MUG.

[@mattmarkham4734]

Well said! We haven't seen 2019 or 2003 level England pride for a long time, this was a thing of beauty

[@AffectionateAstroStation-lx5is]

We are like fuck NO 1 in the world or have never been .Fair play to England but the arrogance from ex players and our media was disgusting it's always the same will they ever learn.

[@AffectionateAstroStation-lx5is]

IN soccer they said you will win nothing with kids but you certainly won't win with auld men.

[@feliscorax]

@@AffectionateAstroStation-lx5is On your day, I think you are, but South Africa or New Zealand might still have something to say about that. In fairness, you Irish fans have been far more humble than the pundits - but the same is true of pundits everywhere (I’ll call you any Irish commentator and raise you with Sir Clive Woodward).

[@vingt-cent27]

That was brilliant! As a French man I say it, huge respect to our biggest rivals. Looking forward to next weekend 🇨🇵🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 and what should be a very exciting match!

[@FishFullOfFeathers]

Great game. I know our fans like to hate when we don't play well, but our standards are high and shouldn't be dropped for anyone. We always knew we were capable of this kind of performance and just want to see it more often. Well done lads, very proud

[@newton18311]

Well done both team a great Advert for the 6 Nations. Rugby is the winner.

[@holdfast728]

Fair play to England! From a Scotland fan, England seem to be making progress back towards their winning ways and settling in. Makes for an interesting final weekend.

[@jamespritchard1330]

At the end the amount of rucks itoje is hitting and clearing, the unseen stuff the dog work. The lads grafted yesterday and deserved so much more! Well done boys. You all done English rugby proud

[@shonunezekiel]

Great performance! Have a look at Feyi-Waboso's line from 2:40 on the right wing - gets caught a bit in no man's land, tries to blitz in late, turns and tracks back to cover, catches up, and then marmalises Henshaw(?) at 2:46 . Maybe his positioning was not perfect in this set, but his tenacity and positive attitude throughout the match was excellent.

[@tomw4322]

What a statement, come on England!

[@JUNO_EDM]

As an Irish fan, absolutely fucking devastated that we wont get the super slam but well done england. Better team on the day, we were absolutely horrendous, that was embarrassing. We'll meet yous in dublin next year and show yous round 2! 🇮🇪😉

[@shaunmcmahon2261]

As an England fan I wouldn't say Ireland were horrendous unlucky even I was screaming at the screen when with less than a minute on the clock Ireland kicked the ball back to England. Of all things to do everybody knows what England can do to teams from 1 mistake. Fantastic game by both teams though 🇮🇪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@Dominicdecoco93]

We definitely were not horrendous

[@Rob-oh2px]

We will better also,but fair play to your graciousness.

[@kevinplummer9022]

Congratulations England.! You were the better team on the day and were more hungrier to win. From a currently deflated Irishman!

[@LaChartre]

One of those special games where the whole 23 rose to the occasion and got the job done. So happy for the boys!

[@KallouWhatElse]

Well done England, from a french supporter !!

[@paulkirby2761]

A hearty congratulations from Ireland. The better team definitely won and while I would have enjoyed seeing a double-slam, that's not a sign of a healthy competition and great to see Italy finally get rewarded too.

[@marynorth7988]

Hell's Bells ...I am too old for this sort of end of a game .... The heart attack didn't happen !! Very well done England... Ireland were pretty damn good too !!

[@imwelshjesus]

What a terrific weekend of rugby, Italy and then England. Well done both.

[@apathyintheuk265]

It was an Asti Spumante and Gordon's Gin of a weekend.

[@Tommy_P1243]

Yes England what a game

[@mjayp4519]

first time i've had my eyes swell up in a good few years. what a game, good job boys.

[@tomytomate8]

Great job England, you played terrific rugby and deserved the win. I was cheering for you, from France (it means a lot for a french man to cheer for Albion)

[@Tosspot]

The red rose was proud last night

[@cccfreedom9485]

Cant stop watching highlights I'm buzzing

[@thomaskingdom7855]

It's games like this that makes rugby union beautiful to watch!

[@maurice_odede_art]

Shades of the 2003 IRB WC final... what a time to be an England fan!!!

[@christopherkeetley6260]

Like Daly's try in Cardiff, this game will be replayed for years. Great performance all round.

[@WorldbestDJDuoTV]

What a game of rugby wow👏🏿🔥👏🏿🔥

[@chaseruksw]

England exciting victory over Ireland was crucial for England who needed to bounce back from loss to Scotland. 99% of pundits and fans expected Ireland to dominate the game. It's games like this that differentiate rugby fans who respect both teams abilities, from other sports. In defying the odds they produced a performance that lasted 80 minutes of intensity, determination & skill. Itoje is giving away less obvious penalties. They transitioned well from defence to attack, playing heads up rugby and keeping the ball in hand, seeking out space. They defended the lineup, where they stole six of Ireland's throws, thanks to Borthwick's knowledge. Ireland failed to react with their usual attacking composure and accuracy, they gave away penalties and a yellow card. Poster boi Marcus Smith's 79th minute opportunistic drop goal, gave England a one-point lead & victory. He had a penalty advantage and took his chance, however he needs to add stillness and calm to his skillset.

[@TheCornishCockney]

What a game,best of the 6 nations so far. COME ON ENGLAND !!

[@RamBosh69]

Ben earl carried

[@gianpaolodilallo7755]

What a game!! Congrats to England,deserved win, this is pure rugby, Ireland has the chance to win this tournament next Saturday hosting Scotland 🎉🎉🎉

[@andrewtomlinson18]

Great performance but would like to see Freeman at centre and Radwan on the wing

[@dazeng4633]

The centres were awesome today. That's your partnership.

[@FrankOBrien-ti7ny]

Well done to the team that's not ashamed to play its National Anthem.

[@rodiodan5537]

En gland, en gland, que des glands.

[@gozza683]

Love it !!!!

[@Rob-oh2px]

Honestly if we go nuts against France we will get more than four tries and win,if Scotland pretend their playing England they could blow Ireland away,please Scotland pretend it's a white shirt.

[@nathandodds_]

Serious performance! Keep it coming.

[@stratokastor]

Awesome game.

[@homewithemma42]

Beautiful ❤

[@robert-cu1xo]

Ireland in last five years been very disparaging off opposition,but were gracious with this defeat,odd world

[@robert-cu1xo]

Ford has to do better,Farrell cannot come back.

[@ciaranbradley7038]

Ireland own fault,3 mins left they had tge ball and decided to kick it why ??????

[@WiganGazKobe824]

Never mind at Least Andy Farrell’s rugby league team won yesterday. 🏉🥧🍒

[@IndiePendant0007]

Great game, well done England, respect from Wales. Just shows how hard it is to win a 6N Grandslam. It's been agonising watching our U25 National team come so close to beating Scotland and England, but we'll be back soon. Here's the current 6N record for this century, as it stands. Wales 6 Championships (4 Grandslams) France 6 Championships (4 Grandslams) Ireland 6 Championships (3 Grandslams) England 6 Championships (2 Grandslams) Scotland 0 Italy 0 I understand why us Welsh are so disliked, but we just can't help being a chopsy bunch of gobshites when our tiny, poor, disorganised Nation shows such fighting spirit.

[@garydonlan7869]

Not extended highlights really..only about 30 seconds of action from the first half!

[@reigns77.]

Wales were pathetic to let go of the new flyer. He has made an instant impact with England.

[@ronnieplumper6047]

So the ‘extended’ highlights means we get to watch an extra 3 minutes of kicks at goal… brilliant thanks 💩

[@cbyod]

Where is genges clear out of furlong in ruck and the foot in touch before the furbank try in this reel? Are you trying to white wash the fact? The same you do with history?

[@brandonpye8757]

Cry

[@ettubrute6757]

You mad bro?

[@cbyod]

@@ettubrute6757 mad because why have a tmo and video referrals when you don't use him/ them or he says fack all. Absolute rubbish refereeing team. It would be classed as cheating.

[@ettubrute6757]

@cbyod so mad

[@randomcomputer7248]

what about the line out that should have been England's ?

[@MwanzaNaphtalilungu]

The kicking was atrocious. Come to stellenbosch for lessons you 2

[@geoffnelson6756]

I was praising Englands win as the better team on the day, however having seen the Genge 'no arms' on Furlong I have altered my opinion, for that not to be checked by the TMO is ridiculous. I really didn't want this game to be about red or yellow cards, but the POM yellow was called as 'cynical' and likely swung things in Englands favour, the Genge assault should at least be highlighted to the ref.

[@randomcomputer7248]

shut it tool

[@justpgit]

Seriously, how has Danny care got 100 caps when he doesn’t have the composure to hold the ball at 77 minutes?! Just needed to keep the ball and grind out 3

[@admaga]

Poorly edited highlights.

[@Rob-oh2px]

As of now play are hardest working strength flair game were winning on tour NZ Japan are going down,try to win slams or titles and world cups,hope Italy stopbeing afraid of black shirt and give new Zealand a game and win regular,NZ and England usually thrash we great NZ very great,you Italy will get England never have bad start again only brutal grafters you had your chance,now England know what their doing

[@Russia-bullies]

As there was no replay of the Irish tries & there were replays of the other tries,this has to be English propaganda but I won’t complain about it.

[@BirdsfromHuntingdon]

😂

[@forestranger312]

My goodness the commentators had to eat humble pie didn’t they. You’d think the Irish team walked on water and England would be a walk over.

[@mboy5944]

Is it me or are the Irish commentators always quite biased towards their team and lacking energy when others score?

[@keithdouglas9848]

Murray and O Mahony time to retire!

[@meEllson]

Glad for the win just so james Lowe doesn’t have that smug look on his face.

The Irish do like a good bottle. 🍾🍾🍾

[@BrettStealth]

Well done ENG! What a glorious performance with passion & skill in equal measure. Some bulldog tenacity again at last. Much enjoyed by this Saffa!

[@stephenreeds3632]

And they came back from 17-8. That is brilliant. In fact, they came back against Italy, Wales and Ireland. Did against France but the ref got us!

[@henrymilleruk100]

Get behind this team there is a process, let’s all get back on board the journey together

[@RobRochon]

Congratulations England from Canada. Ireland, arguably the best side in the world, appeared to be having a cakewalk of things until England jammed a wrench into their spokes, and now must find a result against the best Scottish side seen in decades just to ensure they retain their championship now that the Grand Slam and Triple Crown are but just a pipedream. This 6 Nations campaign has been thrilling to experience so far as parity is threatening this competition. If the ball bounces differently once or twice for Wales against Scotland and your boys they could be standing mid-table instead of playing for the wooden spoon. Italy should have taken a historic win against France, plus they put up a dogfight against England too and have levied a quite respectable campaign thus far. What if France shocks the world and has two huge results today and next week and Ireland doesn't recover from today's stunner in their finale against Scotland? What a spectacle this has been so far.

[@MrAncient63]

best Game all tournament both teams were awesome..

[@outlaw_6741]

Great to see what England can do against Ireland with 15 men on the pitch for a change!!

Congrats England, from Ireland!

[@davidcullen1956]

right down to the wire, never give up and thanks to Marcus Smith we won

[@johnmccann8319]

You have to say well done to England.They clicked.Ireland could have done it with a little luck also losing the captain in the crucial part of the game was a blow giving England an extra edge.One team has to lose some days.Today it was Irelands turn.They did us proud as usual.Lets hope next week will be a better result.It"s great to see rugby played like this.Scotland/Italy too was a cricket!Well done to all the players!

[@barbarahalkyard1901]

But they didn't.

Not so, we missed kicks too matey, yes ye won and yes we threw the game away and yes ye were better well done but don't make it more than what it was.

[@discobiscuits5564]

Bring back Freddie! And pls keep feyi waboso in

[@JulieDorsetBelle]

Got to be honest Furbank much more dynamic - few mistakes but better in the second half. Agree with Feyi - awesome power...

[@feliscorax]

Honestly, I prefer Furbank’s ability to keep defences honest ball-in-hand to Freddie’s solidity under the high ball. Great to have both options because, in the wet, you’d play Freddie for sure. With good conditions for running rugby, however, Furbank’s the man. England suddenly looking like there’s some depth developing and that bodes well for the future.

[@roberthalvey8880]

Standard of referee wasn't great

[@robert-cu1xo]

I had major doubts about borthwick but so wrong,the players must never do anything but what he says,the Scotland game has to be permanent reminder what happens if you don't do what he asks

[@FransvanderWesthuizen-t8g]

WR should take the scrum, maul ans dropkicks out of Rugby. That way you will win the Springboks.
