Go behind the scenes into camp and find out how England prepared for a dramatic match at Twickenham against Ireland. #WearTheRose

[@jamespritchard1330]

Hard lines lads. No idea how Genge isnt captain. He is a real credit to the squad and the growth of the team. Reacted well to Ireland, onwards and upwards

[@sethtrujillo154]

I feel he shouldn’t be captain because he excites his teammates and further energizes them. Usually they want captains to be calm, quiet, and best friends with the ref, in order to win favor in the long run. That’s why you don’t often see any props as captains.

[@dcmj3798]

thing is aswell is the days of front rowers being captains is in the past, they can still be great leaders but front rowers just dont play 80 mins ever anymore

[@dandan4092]

Lawes is a perfect candidate for captaincy

[@Dermiezz]

We are just the most negative fans ffs. We played exceptionally on Saturday considering the outcomes and Eddie is a massive part of that. Get behind the team and the coach!

[@Daniboi971]

2 tries in 3 games against the teams that aren't Italy. 3rd lowest in England 6N history at this stage. NOT GOOD ENOUGH!

[@swavgav31]

You's are brutal. You's never got a sniff of the try line. I'd be extremely worried of I was an English fan

[@DeadBeat1azy]

@Tommy Good when he says the togetherness crap, isnt it immediately obvious hes stalling for future wins, chuck the press a bone and deliver a world cup. Maybe he wont but thats the plan I reckon, and if he is right the we will get the most winningest england team ever

[@johnmc3862]

Never looked like scoring a try, deluded!

[@MiniMatthew]

Well done England let's go! Never been so proud of the team than on Saturday, could see the hard work come into play and you will only get better!

[@teyentapper1483]

That simmonds bump on Lowe was soooooo nice

[@joeboonmusic4004]

I watched that over and over. I think this was the game where people really saw what Simmonds could do in an England shirt. At the least he deserves to be a super sub... Not many forwards with that kind of raw pace and explosive power!

[@Natedawg38]

Well done England from Ireland. Kept it a great game

[@joeboonmusic4004]

Malins isn't in the squad (even though I think he should be on the bench covering the back 3), but please LORD let us see Lynagh in an England shirt, that kid is just waiting to be unleashed. We have so many great specialist wingers like Nowell, Hassel-Collins, Lynagh, Cokanasiga, Watson, Radwan etc... Here's hoping we start to see them in action.

[@timmehtimmehtimmehti]

Turns out Eddie Jones was right about Jack Nowell being a flanker...

[@clementhuat5747]

Great spirit and the team is gelling but I would love to see us pass it down the line alot more. We have great backs, let's use them instead of kicking all the time.

As an Irish man genge should be your captain going forward he is a motivator and a tough operator.

[@jbee9713]

Sport was incredible Saturday guys and Charlie has nothing to be sorry for for the red, it happens to the best of is. I know we're also missing players, but let's get a massive push for our attack Saturday. Lets get one over on the French and upset their party! Will go into the Summer series and Autumn Nations on a high!

[@kit3979]

We played really well but just ran out of steam in the end I think the extra man counted in the end. Hopefully as we have nothing to lose on Saturday the shackles come off and we just go for it

[@thomasotoole1653]

Won't have ref this weekend

[@rob.1]

Amazing how many non-English fans tune into this stuff.

[@unfrancais7185]

The promise of a great match on Saturday ! England are never more dangerous than when injured ... Respect from France

[@jakemiddleton5266]

I see a good defence, a strong team bond, good set-piece. No attack. We have the players, but the structure isn't there. I can't tell if it is just different so it is taking a while to learn or if there is no structure. Either way, can't beat France without scoring tries.

[@lukesalter5925]

Proud of the lads Good points: Pack was unbelievable Marchant had his best game Steward was great under the hall ball Smith kept the score board ticking Things to work on: Our attack looks poor and unimaginative. When we do keep ball in hand we just pass is down the line which isn’t enough against the likes of Ireland and France. We never look like scoring and have hardly seen any tries this 6N 10/10 effort from Malins but I don’t think he’s our winger. He’s quick but not that quick and he’s not big. You can see how much we are missing a winger when you see the likes of Lowe playing against us. Well done Ireland thought the way you managed to control the last 20 was good particularly against a very loud Twickenham

[@zumazuma4298]

i think cokanasiga or ollie hassel collins are better options for winger over mallins

[@lukesalter5925]

@@zumazuma4298 good shout. I was actually thinking Adam Radwan

How far they've fallen trying to put a bow on this shit. Have fun tommorow crew. I weirdly like a lot of this English team, even Gengy. Maybe it's the lack of threat. They're like those trained lions that you can have a wrestle with but they're fucked when they go back in the jungle.

@canvas bed how are England getting on today? LMAO 😂

[@freddiecree9250]

Genge for captain

[@qwertyduusup]

One of my favourite games to watch as an England fan in a long time. What a performance against the odds, Ireland dug deep and the extra man won them the game but I think it’s fair to say the better side lost. Incredible game really hope this performance comes from 15 men against France because that’ll be a hell of a game

[@davidcordial8287]

England had some amount of fight, but respectfully, the better side won with a try bonus point, and didn't concede a single try

[@DrAAAli]

That is the foundation of a world cup winning team.

[@paddycunliffe4817]

Can whoever produces these videos also do the same for our national team in other sports please? It would be great to see this sort of thing for the England football team during Qatar 22 and England Cricket, currently on tour in the West Indies.

The look in Maro's eyes at 10:42 then the hit gave me goosebumps, you could see what was coming but I don't think Sexton did!

@@robertcusick3722 Andy Farrel does both but fair comment.

[@typhoontim125]

For perspective...Remember Ireland lost their Captain in the 2nd minute. England didnt score a single try. Genge cheated in the scrum & u got lucky with the Ref. And Ireland won by a record margin at Twickenham. Not that much to crow about I suggest.

[@Zavala1]

I hope Ryan is OK and gets over the spate of concussions he's had but he's not a huge loss in that situation. Ireland have masses of experience across the park and England obviously lost a player for almost the entire game. England continue to look toothless with this backline, which is a worry. I don't know if it's getting used to Smith, not having a true ball-carrier in midfield and not having express pace anywhere but it needs to change as England aren't going to be anywhere near the world cup with this penetration. Genge/England were rewarded for doing what they were doing and weren't going to change whilst getting penalties. It's up to the officials to step in and correct the foul play. Show me a prop who says he always scrummages correctly and I'll show you a liar. The officials probably should've pinged England on a couple of occasions. There will be times when Ireland get similar treatment and I'm sure Furlong won't be correcting the referee and admitting foul play. It happens. Ireland are the better team. They deserved to win by that margin. It could've been more if they'd kept their collective heads a little more. A deep line-break against 14 men should lead to a try fairly often. Maybe against a superior team (New Zealand, South Africa, France), Ireland would have come up short. They looked spooked for 20 minutes or so but the extra man told at the end of the game. I've not seen anyone really crow about the game. England lost and it was their own doing. People have enthused about the spirit, recognised the effort and enjoyed individual performances (Itoje, Genge, George especially) but the team is still a long way off challenging in 2023 for the World Cup. I'm not sure they have the time to rectify the problems they have.

[@AlCasu1888]

Zav as far as crowing goes it's murder in this comment section but I have to commend the straight shooters like yourself

[@ciaranbrk]

Ireland lost their vice captain. Who let’s be blunt it’s cut out for it every chance has gotten to lead he has been too quiet in getting into the refs ear. Good player not a captain though which is beneficial going forward for them.

[@ciarantroy5742]

What a load of b......x. 4 tries to nil. 17 seconds in Irish 22. A moral victory?? England were beaten out the gate like last year. Accept your countrys loss and behave like real men.

[@tmm7369]

England cheating in the scrums and congratulating each other, and so proud of it , makes me sick. See Nigel Owens opinion of the refereeing. Referee should be on to their tricks in Paris.

[@rob.1]

Cheating? It's literally called scrummaging. You think all 16 blokes normally turn up and declare to push very gently in a straight and uniform manner? Ref gives you a penalty, you do the same thing again. Ireland would do the same, and you wouldn't be calling them cheats.

If the idea is to build relationships how about doing something meaningful instead of playing cards and going to the sauna? Paint an orphanage maybe? Help out at a nursing home?

[@joshmckenzie7526]

Grow up

[@dalenewton9697]

It's not sarcasm. The stuff they do is very superficial. Also sub-optimal for building meaningful relationships. You build meaningful bonds through meaningful activities (charitable and social work, activism, etc.), some of which rugby squads could perfectly well do, for example charitable and social work. Also helps generate support and goodwill among the public.
