With a new hand at the helm, the Good Ship Ireland is successfully sailing again. In search of treasures, Simon Easterby’s team launched himself with the victory over England; There are many who must be navigated before the champions twice really begin to contemplate a third consecutive crown of the six consecutive nations, but it was an excellent start.
England had rocked its ship saving in the first half with defensive zeal, but there was no doubt that an Irish team used in agitated seas would end up emerging. Far, they accelerated at a pace of knots to start the Easterby era with a victory carried out by two late English trials but decided well before.
Watching stands while preparing for the activities of the British and Irish lions, the loyalty of Andy Farrell could have been rather more divided than usual, but the boss of Ireland temporarily unavailable would have been discreetly satisfied. By confusing his first companion with the care of a winning team, it looked a lot like Ireland of the last two years – keeping cool and calm even in the brighter plates of England to trigger in the right direction in their hunt to history.
While Easterby smiles in the opposite coache box, Steve Barthwick has thrown a familiar scowling air. The recurring numbers in November appeared again to the head coach of England, his accusations producing a solid first minutes of 40 minutes but cannot support their efforts. In front of 10-5 at halftime, 22 unanswered points of the hosts put the match aside. Two months of consideration and contemplation did not help Barthwick in his search for solutions in the second half. They can take the positive points from a bonus point of the destroyed door, but at one point, the victories must come. Since their superb return from Ireland to Twickenham last year, these are seven defeats of nine – with the two victories against Japan.
So many things had also been wrong for visitors in the first half – starting with an opening of 10 minutes that went exactly to their favorite script. Going early and often in their kick and competition match, Freddie Steward hit the opening hoist to trigger an air success series and ensure that England was playing precisely in the right areas.
It was Ireland that has shown early ambition, trying to leave Blitz’s defense of England several times, but not doing it, an excellent tackle of Itoje on the rival of the Lions captain, The Caelan Doris rival, particularly key. This helped offer Cadan Murley the opportunity to mark a dream start for his international career. Luck was created by the centers of England, each showing their contrasting forces: first Ollie Lawrence rises in the middle with his mixture of Rafale and Biff, before the beautifully weighted Grubber of Henry Slade gives to Murley The simple score.
The bombardment by Ben Earl of the resulting restart concerned the first error that England had made. However, they quickly found themselves in a disciplinary warning, their attempts to recover and suffocate the ruck in their own 22 drawing the anger of referee Ben O’Keeffe.
Ireland almost capitalized, Ronan Kelleher collecting a loose ball and making a passage without hindrance to the line, only for the first revealing intervention of Itoje as captain of England. The lock alerted the officials of a piece of Ruck Skulduggery, whose confirmation by the TMO saw the test which was extinguished.
However, it seemed that England would pay at one point for their continuous offense. He came nine minutes later after the Rangy Ryan Baird broke down less than five meters from the visitors line. Two English could have been shown a yellow card for cynical offenses; O’Keeffe sent the second of them, Marcus Smith, to Sin Bac.
At the bottom of a body, the defense of England was forced to reach out each tendon to contain an Irish side starting to find their flow in phase. The young half Fly Sam Prender Prendergast had been boldly selected in front of Jack Crowley and became his debut at the Six Nations, the 21 -year -old orchestrating beautiful forms, but he is simply unable to bring the right pieces when Ireland did breakthroughs.
Having survived Smith’s passage nine minutes on the naughty step, England will have desperately disappointed that individual errors have ended the Irish duck. Alex Mitchell had appreciated a superb half, proving again why he is now one of the most important artists on his side, but a simple tackle on James Lowe should have been done. Away wing with the piston strokes pumping before finding Jamiston Gibson-Park with an interior pass to install a head-on with a steward. The rear of Leicester has a large number of strengths, but its lateral agility is not one of them – there are more quickly cargos in Dublin Port – and Gibson -Park set it out with a Relative ease.
Smith returned and knocked out three to close half that would have contained Barthwick and the defense coach Joe El-Abd, a slightly less aggressive line speed system roughly firm. The obvious question, however, was whether, and England, could remain the course after the late recurring missteps which were the reason for 2024.
Backs now firmly against the wall, England has chosen the fight rather than the flight, a little naked bad while Ireland was becoming frustrated. Daily of their usual precision and their component in the advanced areas, two other opportunities have happened. But Bundee Aki showed the way, leveling the scores with a beautiful finish which saw him plowing each of Smith, Mitchell and Tommy Freeman. Shortly after, Clean Strike de Prendergast pushed Ireland into its first advance.
A reinforced bench had been appointed by Borthwick in the hope of improving the unit’s soft November efforts, Tom Willis among the first replaced to be used after an irresistible form for the Sarasnes won the eight number at a CAP. Ireland also went to their reinforcements, while Crowley intervenes for Prendergast.
And it was, without surprise, Ireland that produced the revealing push. The Marginal Defense of England had repeatedly criticized in their fall failures and did it again here, Lowe arriving deep to exploit the space between Ellis Genge and Chandler Cunningham-South. Tahdg Beirne went with the wing to collect and mark.
Suddenly, England fell familiarly into pieces. Murley and others showed their inexperience with key errors deep in their own half; Half of the melee of the replacement Harry Randall artificial to send a kick back. Lowe, more and more a force of nature, accelerated on the magnificent rainbow collar of Dan Sheehan to cut England, returning the favor with an interior pop that the whore, before the calendar of a serious knee injury, transported to the line. Tom Curry and Freeman’s late tests have narrowed the final margin, but the match had long disappeared.
