    Pitch markings are sh1t!

    Reynal can thank his lucky stars that Ireland scored a try there.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,430 ✭✭✭✭Larbre34


    Thank goodness for Ringrose.

    I don't think we're in a 'thank goodness' scenario after 10 mins, it would be just nice to be awarded actual tries scored in the first place.

    Furlongs work rate is obscene.

    Looked like Larmour was taking around the neck after fielding that restart

    Italy are as crap as they’ve ever been.

    I hope pointe gets a grilling from his assessors during the week

    Why is Lowe on this team? His kicking is terrible

    That is a pain in the arse. Poite should have noticed that before the match started. I expect lots of anger on twitter over this omission.

    The box kick into the sunlight is working

    What are they doing in the Hyacinth House?

    Reynal hasn't a clue what's going on.

    In from the side directly in front of the ref and requires the linesman to call it...

    Good idea but poor execution from Park.

    Never a penalty to Ireland, Raynal immediately gives one straight back to Italy.

    Reynal failure!

    Gibson Park dreamed of that moment of running in the Stadio Olympico in an irish Jersey as a child

    Really?

    Looked to me like he just went with what the water boys were saying at that ruck.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,300 ✭✭✭✭razorblunt


    That knock on advantage should instantly have been a penalty. Reynal is useless


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 119 ✭✭Shelby Foote


    Italian penalty machine ticking over.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 294 ✭✭Scratchly


    That's so dumb it should be a card

    I can only think he was drunk


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,390 ✭✭✭leakyboots


    CJ is causing havoc at the breakdown, rips, steals, clearouts

    Larmour looks full of zip


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,469 ✭✭✭✭martingriff


    I do think it was a mistake starting Sexton in this game. They should have given the others another game given its Italy


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 9,128 ✭✭✭dublinman1990


    Has the blue line near the try line caused issues for other 6n matches over the years?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 294 ✭✭Scratchly


    That was fantastic by Connors. Fast as lightening


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,063 ✭✭✭✭prawnsambo


    Just on the Henderson non-try. I see people talking about 'downward pressure'. That is not the test of a try scored with ball in hand, it's the test for a loose ball touched down. The important factor is control of the ball where it's carried over the line and touched down.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,043 ✭✭✭clsmooth


    Disappointed to see us kick from that turnover.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,564 ✭✭✭RugbyLover123


    Peak Ireland there. Turnover ball and we kick it in goal!


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 119 ✭✭Shelby Foote


    Going nicely so far but you'd hope to see more as the lead gets comfortable.

    My Rome benchmark is 2007.

    Who kicked it? Ringrose? Larmour?
