ITV call up Willie John McBride to run his eye over some of the standout Ireland v England moments
Eddie Jones is disappointingly well behaved on pundit duty alongside Brian O’DriscollJudging by antisocial media, this was a somewhat provocative selection, most English complainants vowing to mute ITV so they wouldn’t have to hear the thoughts of their one-time gaffer. You sensed there was no love lost.
“Whenever you tap a player on the back,” Eddie grinned, “and for that period of time you finish their Test career, they never have fond memories.” Mark opted not to prod further, so that was that. “How does it feel to be on this side of the fence,” is all he asked. “Cold, mate,” said Eddie. That didn’t happen much in that first half, alas, apart from when James Lowe’s twinkle toes set up that try for Jamison Gibson-Park. “It looks like the momentum shift is going towards Ireland,” said Andrew Trimble, at which point England made it 10-5 with a penalty. By then, Andrew wanted Ireland to be “front door oriented”, like we know what that meant.
“Who needs Andy Farrell any way,” Joe asked Simon Easterby when he joined the panel for a post-match chat, Andy up in the stands and smiling bravely through the ceaseless requests for selfies.
