    Dubious red card, but not that it mattered.

    England at the mo are too much brawn and not enough brain. Reckon Jones’s goose is cooked.

    They don’t need a coach to teach them how to bully the opposition - that’s just their DNA. They need someone like Jones to add other skills. He’s not done that he’s just made them even more English.

    @junior Jason Ryles, an Aussie League player and the England skills coach, has been in Oz for the last few months because of the Covid siutation and has missed the last few months. Ed Robinson, ex-England coach Andy's son, has replaced him. Looks like Ryles was a big loss for them.

    Hammered from 1-15, maybe not at 7.

    Lots of Irish played themselves into the Lions.

    Sexton and Murray timing their run to perfection.

    I'm a massive Henshaw fan but wouldn't have been disappointed if Byrne got MOTM today.

    Lots of English played themselves out.

    Honestly if 30 were picked for the Lions tomorrow, then Curry would be in the match day 23 and there's no real need to pick any other Englishmen.

    Bit harsh. Reckon they’d get a few on bench.

    Hogg is no outside half

    Maitland is definitely no full back

    It was only Italy, they wanted to make it a bit closer.

    Sinckler, Curry, Itoje. Possibly Slade.

    Ridiculous red card. Gee these French refs like to flash the cards.

    A pathetic decision by the ref. Vunipola leading with his head down isn't a mitigating factor? I'm not sure what Aki is meant to do here.

    Good Lord. Just watched a video of it, cannot believe a red for that. Aki dropped, knee was nearly on ground. Unless front on tackles are penalized, that happens multiple times per game.

    Red? FFS.

    Link that should work:

    Billy dips into him. Red card for assaulting shoulder with head.

    I thought Ali was excellent. Outplayed Owen.

    @pakman Not even sure it's a penalty. Sure stop the game because Billy Vunipola's hurt but not sure what Bundee Aki's done wrong there? Bit high perhaps but his tackle contact with arms was no where near Vunipola's head.

    The victory against France made them look good, but that was a French team still recovering from covid, not mentioned by one scribe that I can see.

    Def yellow though, shoulder to chin, but degree of danger low. O'Aki should have gone lower. Same as rucks, just cos you can't roll away doesn't make it not a penalty, don't put yourself there
