    SOB 5 is looking good again!

    That was a cracker!

    Fair contest when the player flew into the standing player who had caught the ball dislodged it.....

    This Irish side is superbly coached. Defence is up quick and in a line, they're not overcommitting to the ruck and are pushing the Welsh back. I also like how in multiple different attacking moves we saw our players draw in the defender and then release at the last second. They're playing like pros.

    Defence is super calm and marshalled.

    Smith is some player going forward

    Defence has really surprised me after a poor showing this week. Faria looks strong for his side and Tom Stewart has been excellent so far.

    Ahern looks like a monster for someone so young

    That is a very well coached u20's team.

    Stewart looks pretty powerful, a bit of a nugget.

    His throwing has been spot on, and his line speed and tackle technique have been perfect. Only u19 as well.

    The ref mic picking up his sniffles is killing me.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,309 ✭✭✭Locke_Lamora


    I also really like the way Crowley runs with the ball. Reckon he might have a big future at 15 if Munster prefer there other young options at 10. Maybe centre given his size.

    Happy days!


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,018 ✭✭✭Bridge93


    Good to kill the game before having to turn around into that weather


  • Registered Users Posts: 17,073 ✭✭✭✭vienne86


    Lovely lineout for that try. Very good performance to get the BP by half time.

    And what a kick!


  • Registered Users Posts: 66,942 ✭✭✭✭FrancieBrady


    Great half of rugby. So much variation and endeavor in that team.


  • Registered Users Posts: 12,920 ✭✭✭✭stephen_n


    It’s good to see all the forwards being ballers, they all look very comfortable handling the ball and looking for space rather than contact.

    In addition, that pack (of teenagers) weighs 833kg, that's frightening.

    Couple of very big lads in there including the latest incarnation of SOB

    England leading away to Scotland 14-10

    Italy 12-0 up after 15 at home to France


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,129 ✭✭✭Granny15


    Been very impressed with Kelly in the centre. Big hitter and good on the crash ball


  • Registered Users Posts: 24,178 ✭✭✭✭Buer


    I know we're much improved but this Welsh side are utter gash.

    I can see them going 0/5.


  • Registered Users Posts: 17,073 ✭✭✭✭vienne86


    Finlay is a great passer.


  • Registered Users Posts: 17,073 ✭✭✭✭vienne86


    Careless stuff now from Ireland.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,018 ✭✭✭Bridge93


    Don’t actually think it’s a particularly good Irish team. Some very good individuals


  • Registered Users Posts: 66,942 ✭✭✭✭FrancieBrady


    Jaysus don't blow it now Ireland, I've been annoying a few Welsh friends.

    3 or 4 guys who look the real deal but I can see them getting stuffed this summer when other nations are dealing from a full deck.
