    The commentator on tv3 is so annoying. Annoying accent, voice and commentary


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,355 ✭✭✭joseywhales


    Damn, we will have to depend on Scotland now


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 531 ✭✭✭mogwai81


    With plenty to go in this game and Scotland up next Jonny May could beat Stockdale‘s record this 6 Nations

    Tbh I still don't see what Brad Shields offers to this England side.

    This will be a long day if you're Italian

    Have to say I love John Forrest on the commentary. He was very animated during his schools cup commentating days on Setanta Sports and he’s carried that through to TV3

    If Esposito can't make a tackle he needs to be hooked.

    Next game is a tough one to call

    Exactly how many trys are England going to score?

    Would have said 7/8 before ko. Since they have 3 already in 20 that could be conservative guess!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,599 ✭✭✭ScrubsfanChris


    The Italian 15 was defending in the line leaving no one in the backfield.
    What kind of defence system is that?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,156 ✭✭✭mangobob


    That was just way too easy. Could get very ugly for Italy.

    He's cost them 14 points.
    Every tackle he makes the player gets away.

    Italy should really just recruit a rake of islanders

    A ruthless coach would take him off now.

    Shorter as they're an hour ahead.

    Thought George knocked that on on the ground

    Italy are pointless.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,283 ✭✭✭Thrashssacre


    Right that's it I'm out I can't watch this and not start fuming watching Italy just offer nothing.

    Absolutely shocking from Italy. Schoolboy standard tackling.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,355 ✭✭✭joseywhales


    Surely COS is done

    Bonus after 32 minutes. England showing us just how laboured we were. God help Italy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,275 ✭✭✭C__MC


    England probably will still win championship

    I thought Cockansiga knocked it on then George played it and knocked it again so penalty Italy.

    Italy are a home / away team. Wales struggled same as us and Wales beat England.

    We were better against Scotland given the injuries Scotland suffered today.

    Italy at least are competitive in the Stadio. I fancy them to push France next week.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,599 ✭✭✭ScrubsfanChris


    Most points scored by a team and biggest winning margin was England 80 - 23 Italy from 2001.

    Dunno. According to live feed on rte website, England are playing Wales.

    That said didn't we get a tbp in 1st half in Rome in 2017 iirc?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,174 ✭✭✭✭Eod100


    Wales will be glad of those GS bonus points if they beat us without a tbp.

    England could finish on 20 with a better PD than Wales.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 73,666 ✭✭✭✭FrancieBrady


    Come on Italy...stop them getting the 50+
