I'm going for Ireland by 10 plus

Hope our scrum holds up

TICKLE_ME_ELMO

I think Scotland might win...................

TICKLE_ME_ELMO

Mainly I'm thinking about Tunnock's Caramel Wafers and Tea Cakes though.....

Four tries to three. Ireland to win by less than 7.

EOS is a nice addition to the panel.

The similarities with Fianna Fáil's emergence from the woodwork are uncanny.

I think Ireland will win, but I think it'll be tight, with less than 10 points between teams.

Anyone else despise Greg Laidlaw?

Hes no Mike Brown.

And Greg is an excellent goal kicker

You have to love Stander. Really bought into this whole Ireland thing

bleg

Can't see Scotland winning. If they do it's the equivalent of when Scotland beat Ireland in Deccie's final season.

Kanrith

Lovely kick by Sexton.

Stheno

Did lenihan just call best Rory Schmidt?

Korat

Scotland are leaving a man on the wrong side at every ruck. There'll be a yellow before half time if they keep that up.

BBDBB

A good positive start

His nickname within the Irish camp

Henshaw has had a great championship. Great composure to evade a tackle and put in that kick for territory. He turns 23 in the summer, scary!

TICKLE_ME_ELMO

I don't remember Henshaw kicking as much as he has these last few games. Some really nice ones from him.

Scotland have been shockingly illegal at the breakdown so far.

DGRulz

Anyone know if there's a reason Sexton has a black armband on?

Not just leaving a man there, seem to be actively trying to interfere with the ball in the act of rolling away.

chupacabra

Has to give a warning here

Scotland should have a man in the bin by now.

thomond2006

Stander has had a monstrous start. The Ireland backrow in the SA tour is going to be very intriguing.

Pink Fairy

I like how Murray sat on the Scots player just to make sure the ref saw he was offside

penybont exile

Love the one eyed commentary on here ......

Laidlaw had a point!

A-Train

Stupid penalty to give and let Scotland get into the game!

Ridiculously harsh pen, there wasn't even a sh to play the ball when Ross was blocking it. If he calls that quick the rest of the game will be constant pens

A-Train

And then Scotland return the favour with a silly penalty of their own.

Agree on the replay thought it was harsh on Ross, ball was there to be played.

TICKLE_ME_ELMO

Sexton taking an age with his kicks.

thomond2006

And that folks is why I hate box kicks.

whatawaster

Jesus

BBDBB

You have to say, that was a fantastic try

BoJack Horseman

more sh*tty box kicking

penybont exile

Nice try

Shannon757

Some legs on HIM

Pudsy33

What a bollox box kick and a worse chase.

peteeeed

Yet again Conor Murray

chupacabra

Where was Best going there?

Korat

Terrible kick, terrible defence, great finish by Hogg to be fair.

LuckyGent88

Very poor kick from Murray set that up but superb from Hogg to target the two front rowers

Utah_Saint

Right, so that's what happens when you pick flair

ongarite

Massive mismatch in midfield there with Hogg taking on Ross & Best.

A-Train

Ah that's farcical defending, Hogg just ghosts through after a terrible box kick! That's the problem of playing the ball in your own 22 instead of Sexton clearing it down the pitch after the scrum!

Moflojo

Ross v Hogg - shades of Hayes v Clerc there! Scorcher from Hogg. Game on!
