Go nuts

Henshaw wins his 50th cap today

Great player who is hitting some great form thanks to finally having an injury free run. Fingers crossed for another 50 caps.

Ireland by 23.

Edit: honestly didn't realise til after I posted that this is the bookies handicap!

I'm in the wrong job.

No table? If we lose I'm blaming you.

This could kickstart a run of form or a search for some new coaches and players.


Underestimate the Italians at your peril. They are well able to play and growing into their relatively inexperienced team.

The lads were out of sync with the anthem.

On the game; today would be a good time for the team to get a big win against Italy. There should be no excuses for Farrell's lads to lose today. The gap in the victory should be massive for lads in green.

I'm wary of today. Don't know why.

dublinman1990

It's not looking good so far. Italy seem to be on fire with getting the 1st 3 points.

Will be interesting to see if Ireland have hit rock bottom today...

sydthebeat

Two stupid penalties to give away

DJIMI TRARORE

Ireland to fall across the winning line by 5-10 points

Why is this even a thing, its always been up to the fella in the back field to come forward and put his team on side?

sydthebeat

I hope reynal is as consistent through the whole 80 now.

Quicker ruck's will suit us so much more than the Italians

sydthebeat

Much much better by Ireland

dublinman1990

Good man Kelleher

obi604

Did sexton take absolute ages to kick that free?

I had to double checked I didn’t pause the tv

UnknownSpecies

Good work form Kelleher there.

FFS

Larbre34

Warming into it nicely

sydthebeat

100% try

Shelby Foote

Warming into it.

Cluedo Monopoly

Gibson Park always good at exposing the penalty

Sexton kicks away advantage too often, rarely comes off and we were going well through the hands.

Former Former Former

That's a harsh call

Scratchly

Who's the incompetent tmo today?

The Inbetween is mine

It's a try that's rubbish call by the ref & tmo

Bluwave

That was a try.

awec

That’s a try all day every day.

clsmooth

That looked like a try to me? Lost control after grounding?

sydthebeat

Rubbish call by pointe

PTH2009

Groundsmen didn't do a great job of trying to hide the soccer markings

randomname2005

Wow. Shocking decision

Buer

Stonewall try.

Morathi

Holy crap, that's a try. XD

eigrod

Ffs that’s shocking officiating

KH25

That’s a try 100%. Disgraceful from Poite.

fitz

Cast iron try. What is the tmo at???

razorblunt

My god, another TMO farce.
That’s pathetic.

UnknownSpecies

Wowee, absolute try.

dublinman1990

Damn. We should have got that try from Henderson.

almostover

What the hell was that? Perfect try and neither the referee, touch judge or TMO sees it

Larbre34

Thats a ****in try, thats disgraceful from Poite. Can you imagine if that was a championship moment? Absolute negligence.

degsie

Refs don't like Johnny, but that was a try!

Burkie1203

The pitch isn't marked properly.

Lost control after the try was scored. Officiating appalling this six nations.

UAEguy2020

What the flying ****, that’s the worst decision I’ve seen in regards of a try, clearly in control.

ctrl-alt-delete

Well done Ringrose,

Just hope the TMO doesn't cancel it off.

theVersatile

That was a great attack prior to the Henderson non-try. Very pacey stuff. Nice patient stuff there before Ringrose try too
