Looks like you read the papers rather than watch the game. England were vastly improved and could have won but the penalty thing is nonsense Im afraid, England gave penalties away because they were scared of the game going open even after they proved they could handle an open game their fear of getting hammered outweighed their confidence in actually being able to win
I watched the game mate.
I'm not saying the decisions against England were wrong, I'm saying there was no consistency in the refereeing decisions that were made for similar ofences. Tindall and Goode both got sin binned. Goode was on his feet and got knocked over by one of his own players which made it look like he blatantly killed the ball. Tindall killed it and got sin binned. At the other end Ryan Jones blatantly kills the ball near his own line and gets told to "move away quicker". Armitage gets taken out in the air whilst jumping for a high ball (automatic yellow card) and nothing happens.
Dont believe the hype England lost because they were scared and not confident of their own abilities and no moaning about the ref is going to change that. Look at the penalty counts.

Another rather big game about to kick off.
Ireland have the chance win the Grand Slam for the first time since Jack Kyle and the rest 60 years ago.
No offence Taff - but I hope we stuff youse!
Seems to be a great atmosphere in the Millenium stadium.
