Scotland v Ireland 6n 2021

Piehead

Who will win? Farrell under immense pressure - last chance saloon? Hogg pace and power may destroy us....

Scratchly

Comfortable Irish win for me. Hopefully I'm not jinxing it. I'm known to be wrong on occasion

Jeez that was awkward between ROG and Williams

It wasn't too bad. Williams took it well.

thomond2006

ROG with the first dominant tackle of today.

kuang1

Ireland by 9

It wasn't awkward, it was just debate.

But theres a reason O'Gara is coaching near the top of the Top14 and Mattie never won an argument.

ROG was like I just want to interject here and Joe was like OK but be quick like then ROG starts throwing shade at Williams saying he was missing the point and Williams was all like yeah well that's just like your opinion man and everyone was like ugh OK...

Is he the one with the long hair? If he is I say fair play to him. That's a lovely head of hair he has.

The Inbetween is mine

Ref... Penalty advantage!!
Sexton. ..Aimless kick..
Why?!

Nobody wastes advantage like Sexton

yerrahbah

Good start from Lowe, Beirne and Stander

IngazZagni

Sexton always kicks it away with penalty advantage. Keep the fecking ball. You are nearly over for a try. Now it’s 3 instead of a possible 7.

Good start overall though.

Clegg

Lovely hands from Beirne and excellent carry from Lowe on the wing.

Good start.

its_phil

Sexton might be the worst kicker of a ball I’ve ever seen when given penalty advantage in 22. Can’t remember the last time he got a return in the 22.

lawred2

That should have gone through the hands... Why kick every single time on advantage!?

ClanofLams

FFS there is no law requiring you to kick the call when you get advantage

Larbre34

That looked very nice all in all.

Lowe took it flat footed but still managed to power through.

UnknownSpecies

They really should just continue with the pick and gos with the free play. Especially that close to the line. Rack up the penalties if you can, increase the chance of a Scottish binning. Kick was just ugh

I was about to ask what our fascination is with it especially if we are going to kick for 3

irishbucsfan

Very strong start

It's Sexton's fascination

Beirne did very well there

razorblunt

Scotland just with the casual additional 2 penalties when Ireland had an advantage.

UAEguy2020

Why the **** does Sexton always does that kick the second we get a pen advantage, it’s clear nothing will come from the kick...it’s his way of saying we give up in an attack... take an a risk yes but take a risk where we actually stand a chance of winning...

Burkie1203

Did sexton just get a head butt of sorts off Hogg there?

Good start, should have scored. Lowe very good in all that.

Piehead

Lowe looks very overweight. Seems slow for a winger

Utopia Parkway

That was terrible.

Lowe bundled into touch once again

Because it’s not clear nothing will come from the kick

Try time.

Nothing he could do. Change the record ffs.

Clegg

Pretty poor set play.

All we did was play sideways without fixing a defender.

Earls and Henshaw!!

A-Train

Great try and great follow up by Henshaw

statesaver

Fantastic start.

UnknownSpecies

I stand by my previous comment :P

its_phil

Jesus Scotland, absolute comedy

theVersatile

That, ladies and gentlemen, is why Sexton kicks the ball.

sydthebeat

Targeting hogg in the air, I love it

Larbre34

Thats lovely from Henshaw, its never over till its over. Manys a team lost from being asleep for opportunities.

lawred2

Not sure that's exactly where Sexton wanted to put that but he got the bounce

Terrific stuff.
