Scotland v Ireland.

Sonja McLaughlin really trying to get Joe to say something controversial, came across very amateurish.

Always hard to win away from home. Scotland are a dangerous team but we strangled the life out of them in the second half. Needed a win and we got it. Pity we didn’t get a fourth try but all in all job done.

PTH2009 · 09-02-2019 5:29pm

A wins a win and nice to have a week's break and find out what are problems are and work on them in time for the Italy game

Shame with didn't get bonus point which I think we would need to stay in contention for the title. I can see England getting a WBP tomorrow

There's a lot of Joespeak there making it really obvious he's not happy with Murray.

In your head maybe... but nowhere else

Delighted to beat Scotland, they got away with a lot today and the booing of the kicker is poor. Blaming the ref is laughable. The only likable Scot is Russell, he has a lovely pass and that off load was fantastic,

Joe has a way of showing he's not happy with players without being overt.

Saying Ireland didn't have great tempo is his way of saying we didn't have quick ball and delivery.

Which is Murray's fault because he was given plenty of clean ball.

Don’t often mind who wins in international rugby when England aren’t involved, but there’s a distinct lack of class among the Scottish set up. Their antics after beating England last year were very ordinary. Always happy to see them beaten!

Glasgow are rotten for it. A really horrible team to play against (from a supporters POV anyway). A very good team though. I haven't really noticed it with Scotland before but I suppose there are that many Glasgow players in there now it is bound to rub off on the Edinburgh and Premiership players.

Greg Laidlaw absolutely classless there. Salty as ****

Sums up the man in a nutshell. An absolute baw bag as the locals would say.

He knocked on at a ruck in front of Poite clear as day that you'd swear he didn't.

TV3 cut back to studio mid Schmidt interview. Brutal

Again....you're adding 2+2 and getting "Adelaide" as your answer

I think we cant afford to exclude talented on form players for the world cup.

The Scottish fans probably believe they are there to support their own and not the other side.

If the keep silent during the kick ever dies off it will seem very weird. I was once sshed in a pub for talking during a sexton kick.

BBC awful outraged about Hogg. Scotland went in hard to take Sexton out, they can't really bitch about one of theirs coming off second best.

POC called it right though saying the injury wasn't deliberate and Hogg went down first clutching his head. POM threw an arm out, Hogg threw his arse out. Swings and roundabouts.

Hmm, we'll agree to disagree. But you should watch his press conferences more. He has a gift for very subtly putting pressure on individuals without overtly calling them out.

Was it two scrums Porter collapsed? Schmidt mentioned that last scrum as a big platform for a bonus try, would Ryan be a better option for France in terms of scrummaging?

bilston · 09-02-2019 5:37pm

The lineout was a major plus today given the absentees.

Yeah, they're crusading on that point aren't they "does Peter owe Greig an apology?" WTF is she smoking?

Between Healy or Ritchie for me, I thought Johnson went well at center too in only his second outing.

I agree with choice of POM for his all round game. I think today showed clearly out best back 5 is Kearney, Earls, Ringrose, Henshaw, Stockdale.

He left the poor lad so confused, he didn’t know whether to hold his head, his arse or his elbow.
If you were of a mind you could go through virtually every aspect of play to uncover all sorts of sly skullduggery but try and select one that innocuous amongst so many others was the stuff of tabloid tactics

Agree on this. Aki has had two very, very quiet weeks in a row and I think Henshaw deserves the jersey.

I'm biased in that I thought that already but I'd be surprised if there were any Aki fans left on here who thinks he should be starting if everyone is fit.

POM had to get a yellow for the Hogg challenge. A huge slice of luck for us and their best player taken out of the game by foul play.

A bad miss by the TMO.

Don't expect the Scottish fans to stop supporting their team but that booing was worse than in France. They're not a likable bunch. As I said Finn Russell can be a joy to watch.

Quinn Roux had an excellent game given the very low expectations of him. Very solid.

I've seen all his after game pressers

100%. I'm not his biggest fan at all but he made some some big hits whilst he was on the pitch. Again though Ryan was poor and Dillane had a great comeback cameo.

The Scottish locks were awful, Gilchrist is a nothing player, Gray's impact to the game involved holding players past rucks and tackling them past rucks, once Poite stopped that he offered nothing.

In agreement.. Henshaw with Ringrose outside him is our best combo by a country mile

It's a traditional bit of fun in this neck of the woods.
