Try manage a game like that and see how it goes.

I dont think it would but yes its completely irrelevant to the result of the game

I appreciate you're a ref and I'm not, but with the benefit of a TMO you need to get those right and that's objectively wrong.

Great to have a distributor at 15 willing to try long passes, haven't seen that since Zebo had a run there

Flannery just called John Ryan "one of the best scrummaging props in the northern hemisphere" on channel 4...

Heaslip is a woeful commentator, fierce annoying

As Squidge rugby said we are a patients team without any patients...

Bealham has conceded a few penalties this game. Not sure why we've given him a go at loose head when he clearly isn't.

awec

Take Bealham off.

Nice work by Henderson John Ryan and Murray there

Darkie Hughes

Positives from first half:

1. Keenan is the best player in the country under the high ball

2. Burns looks capable of unlocking defences where Ross Byrne isn’t

3. Tadgh Beirne looks much more suited to 6 than lock. Jackals and top class lineout option

Let's see how Ross Byrne goes now, no excuses today - hope he goes well

It's a ridiculous exaggeration. He's a good scrummager. Even a very good scrummager. He's not one of the best scrummagers in the northern hemisphere

Fair, I know there's a few people in the other thread going "minced by Ospreys lol" saying he's a poro scrummsger, just making sure you weren't implying the same.

Nice read by Keenan

7 was on his hands and never on the ball. Good physicality from the Georgians none the less.

If the halfway line wasn’t there it would have been given.

But it hardly matters. We’ll win this playing in first gear.[/QUOTE

Ask McCloskey if it matters

This has become really insipid.

Byrne shovelling it out again.

Its a game against Georgia. Free flowing isnt to be expected.

Heaslip is awful on commentary....needs to learn to shut up

UAEguy2020

Georgia like England are putting everyone in the line, and just like against England we continue to run into brick walls...

This comment could have been made at any stage over the last two seasons.

I wish they wouldn't do an instant replay or a shot of the managers when a line out is happening.

Purely because this team is not good enough to impose it. Not really a good thing

In relation to any ex player working as a pundit? Heaslip is annoying but he's work to do to get up to Lenihan or Toland standard annoying. He's only at the Quinlan stage at the moment.

Ectoplasm

Very tired of Ireland playing down to the level of teams they are, on paper, significantly better than.

And the age old problem, we are the masters at butchering field position...
