The England players vowed to fight back after Freddie Steward was sent off for a dangerous tackle.
The Six Nations finale was finely balanced at 10-6) to Ireland just before half-time when Steward was sent off for a collision with Hugo Keenan, who could not play on.
Support for Steward
The England and Tigers wing said that he was devastated for him. You can't turn it into a lesson.
I don't know what else he would have done. You get a head-on-head if he competes for the ball.
I don't know what he could have done differently that would make it harder for him to take. He is more upset because of it.
Unavoidable collisions
Extreme punishments are harsh because players are concerned that sometimes head contact is unavoidable and accidental.
There could be a ban for the steward.
