"Another two yellow cards for England and another match defiled by indiscipline. Unless England improve their self-control they have no right calling themselves an international rugby team. The yellow epidemic has now reached 10 in four games under new team manger Martin Johnson.
"None of this should take anything away from a controlled and rugged performance by Ireland for whom Brian O’Driscoll was outstanding, but England did nearly as much to lose this game as Ireland did to win it. England’s penalty count (it hit 16 yesterday) was a national disgrace, and it calls into question the professionalism of players, coaches and management."
