No love for Mike Brown or Romain Poite.
Ireland’s wait for their first win of the 2016 Six Nations campaign continues as Joe Schmidt’s men slumped to a 21-10 defeat at Twickenham.
The first-half was the very definition of a battle as Ireland put in some immense tackles and defensive work to keep the score at 6-3 heading into the break. The boys in green came out of the dressing room and blitzed England thanks to Conor Murray’s try as they edged into the lead.
England hit-back though courtesy of two quickfire tries from Anthony Watson and Mike Brown which proved to be the difference but there’s no love for Mike Brown or Romain Poiite in Ireland tonight.
Stuart McCloskey with an outstanding two minutes there.

It is now 200 minutes (including time added on) since Ireland scored a 6 Nations try #ENGvIRE

Nasty from Marler on Murray's neck as he scored. Nasty and unnecessary.

Ireland tackle the man without the ball and Farrell makes it a one point game on 50'. 9-10 to Ireland #ENGvIRE

Murray and Sexton both close to perfection in this game so far.

Sexton the latest Irishman to be hit off the ball

Mike Brown try.
Now he's on my list.
Not sure he will be bothered.
19-10 to England#ENGvIRE

Ahh hard luck Henshaw! Brilliant effort. #ENGvIRE pic.twitter.com/dXYeqdTsD0

Ref checks with TMO for potential Ireland try after Sexton sends Henshaw down the right wing. But he's tackled into touch first. #ENGvIRE

I have to remember that definition of "accidental" for the next time I kick someone in the face. #ENGvIRE

Biggest miscarriage of justice since that whole Making Murderer thing! #ENGvIRE

15 men against 17 (England, Poite and the TMO)
