Leaving RK aside, that's a real dirty shot at Quinlan

Kearney's been good going forward today, not my choice for motm cos he cost us a try, v poor tackling.

He is awful for patting the boys he knows on the back. It’s part of a stubborn attitude I feel where he thinks he can say he “beat” depression. It doesn’t work that way unfortunately.

Ringrose looks grand walking around there.

The Rape of Lucretia · 10-03-2018 05:15PM

BobbyK MOTM. Has boards not crashed yet ? Or someone pulled out its plug?

BorneTobyWilde · 10-03-2018 05:15PM

How can anything be decided with 4 games played, confusing is Rugby. Ireland champions if England don't win, WTF.

Denton ha simorived so much since moving south.

Not sure why Grigg is on, he said not an international player, but if Glasgow biz scoring through.

Ringrose robbed of the MOTM.

How much have you drunk?

Yeah, you ought to look at the posts where he does nothing but denigrate Northern hemisphere rugby.

I mean I'd use a word that would describe someone being deliberately provocative and taunting in order to elicit a response from others.

Subpopulus · 10-03-2018 05:15PM

Feels a bit flat on the finish. But happy to have won. The first 20 minutes had me worried.

Worring about Ringrose has put a bit of a damper on that win...

i see an easy Irish win honestly. by 15 points or more

Scotland produce nothing off their own ball. Last week was the organised chaos they needed.
Schmidt floods the ruck and as Thornley remarked " the two man clear out is a non negotiable with joe".
They are rubbish away from home.
They played their cup final last week.
Murray flapping his arms for pens.
Wayne Barnes .

I find ireland boring but they have a plan and they all stick on task and do it well.

Scotland will always let you down.

QED

Lol at that lad who claims to be a New Zealander giving out about crowds. Some of the worst in the world down there. No atmosphere and that's if they bother to show up

‘Canes v Chiefs this morning was half empty!

In fairness to RK he didn’t pull any faces or pout when accepting the MOM award.

.....and I’m not joking saying he must have been trying hard to control that.

a lot of people seem to want to be oppressor and oppressed as it suits them.

Faugheen · 10-03-2018 05:16PM

Wonder if the lads saying Kearney was only ok because of his tackling feel the same about Chris Farrell two weeks ago when he missed the most tackles out of the entire team.

Quinlan always bigs up lads he knows personally without offering a proper objective view on things.

Ehh it would mean Ireland on 4 wins and England on 2 wins with one game to go. Hardly university maths. Never mind bonus points.

kilns · 10-03-2018 05:17PM

A real mixed bag today where our usual top performers didn’t really perform

Best for Ireland we’re Ringrose Kearney Leavy Healy Stockdale

What has happened to Sextons kicking I think the hamstring injury he is carrying is impeding it

If and when get Henshaw and oBrien back into that team we will be a serious team for anyone in the world cup

Ireland will win the championship if England don't win. The grand slam and the six nations championship aren't the same thing.

You're unfamiliar with the concept of a league format? It's not exactly new.

dublinman1990 · 10-03-2018 05:18PM

Great result. Bonus point win is very nice to get us going for the GS next week.

Now it's your turn Eddie. Show us what you are made of against the French in Paris.

cameramonkey · 10-03-2018 05:19PM

Murphy did really well when he came on.

Because there's only 5 games per team, Ireland are unbeaten and England lost to Scotland, Scotland and Wales lost twice, so if France beat England, Ireland have won.....

You’re right, Crusaders is what I meant. Just to highlight that I wouldn’t necessarily share the view of the poster who said southern hem crowds are terrible, I wouldn’t watch enough to know that.

England were champions last two years with one to play

Jordi done well when he came on brings more to an attacking game than POm

LoughNeagh2017 · 10-03-2018 05:21PM

Kearney is an Ulsterman you know since he is from north Louth, this was a famous region of Ulster, I think the Cu [font=arial, sans-serif]Chulainn myth is based in that area, hence why he was referred to as an Ulster myth.[/font]

Faugheen · 10-03-2018 05:23PM

Murphy's performance doesn't surprise me at all. He's been better than ever since it was announced he was signing for Ulster. Great player.

a wee bit disingenuous to be fair.

empty stadiums can be a result of cost, demographics, weather, societal issues and having the game in a stadium that is too big in the first place. see ellis park or eden park for example.

the aviva was full today , a rizla paper from winning the title and it was like a morgue.

a poorly attended game does not equate to a fully attended game with a disinterested punter.

its harsh to call me a snob , when in fact im rue'ing that the "salt o de urt" populous seems to not be part of the team of us.
