2020 6 Nations - Ireland vs Scotland match thread

Ref decides to try and get the ireland team back

fitz

Great stuff from Herring

A-Train

About time the Scots got done at a ruck. Gray just flops in from the side

Christy42

My word Scotland tried a bit to blatantly to seal off the ruck. Even this ref wasn't going to miss that

LuckyGent88

That’s the third clear bad decision from this ref against us. Not even questionable decisions.

If we keep the ball, we can cause problems. Simple really.

Certainly looks like we want to be more adventurous and attacking

dublinman1990

At least we gain another 3 points. There must be something in our tea to make us go this lucky.

EDIT: Oh. I spoke too soon.

mun1

Getting beaten up in the front 5 and its very hard to win a game when that happens , doesn’t matter who is at 9 or any other back position.
Still hoping cooney gets on at half time but not because Murray is sh1te

C'mon Johnny

It's the TMO gone for a toilet break or something?

LOL, I was thinking similar.

I'm liking what we've seen from our centres. Aki is distributing more and Ringrose being given license to probe for gaps in defence.

I don't think our line speed has been up to snuff generally, but we've been very good at knowing when to commit to a ruck and force a turnover. Some vital ones in our 22. I'd also like to see our forwards run onto the ball rather than staying in static pods when receiving the pass.

Mantis Toboggan

Poor from sexton

Dubinusa

Ugh

Granny15

Herring and VDF only positives this half

fitz

Murray, that's brain-dead

sydthebeat

Sorry lads, Murray needs to be subbed.

He's pedestrian slow

c.p.w.g.w

Murray really having a stinker

A-Train

Great turnover by CJ

Centres have been excellent in attack.

dublinman1990

Phew. That was a huge TO from Stander.

troyzer

Murray has been ****e.

mun1

Try saver by stander. And full marks to Henderson for getting back in defense

Dubinusa

Good man Conor. You plonker

Yeah, it's like he's slinging a bag of cement!

Great line from Aki and great turnover from CJ.

Every single game this is proved to be utter lunacy

Get Murray off now.

He is dreadful. Our entire team are pedestrian.

Ha ha. Why is
Murray playing for the Eire ?

steves2

Stander was brilliant there

jammiedodgers

What a tackle by Henderson

D.Q

How can anyone justify Murrays inclusion in this team

Stander motm so far. Sexton, Herring excellent.

POMs best game since 2018. Ryan and VDF getting through heaps of work.

Scotland pretty solid. Can they keep it up!

Christy42

Christ Murray and Sexton trying to make that more interesting than it needed to be

Squidgy Black

Have to say.

The backrow of Stander, VdF and POM have been playing well.

Stander has been good, so too has pom and ringrose.

One of our best players over the last few years. Does everything needed from a back rower. Can never understand the criticism. Durable too, rarely not available for selection.

That took an absurd amount of time to win the penalty

typhoony

Murray has been very poor.

mun1

2nd half of this game should suit Larmour better. He’s running into a lot of scots at the moment

DellyBelly

We are lacking a bit of leadership out there. Hopefully Farrell can turn it around

ClanofLams

Poor half from Murray. Interesting to see how soon Farrell subs him - he should be off at half time really.

theVersatile

Jesus Christ lads, it was a good read by Hastings. Sexton way too wide and flat anyways, but sure let's jump on Murray's back.

KH25

Id be taking Murray off, but it’s not just him playing poorly. We have looked very sloppy.

steves2

You think sexton would get that kick out of play, same mistake as against NZ

He's not doing too badly. That intercept try was a bit floaty but that aside, he's doing well.

Would still like to see Cooney on though.

Last couple of years that has been mostly true BUT he's having a good game today.

What is he doing well?

gazump123

That was actually a good half by Murray except for that intercept at the end
