What’s the point of these games then?

Whats the point of any pre-season game? Physical tune-up, and that'll continue through against the minnows

Beautiful pass from Sexton - would like to see it again

dodderangler · 07-09-2019 02:23PM

That’ll do donkey. That’ll do

A-Train · 07-09-2019 02:23PM

Get over James Ryan

This is some improvement from 2 weeks ago in Twickenham. Fair play to all.

We're playing a different sport.

Our back row of Conan, VDF and Stander looks good

Who might have said that I wonder :-)

Healy has been Ireland’s best prop, and after James Ryan Ireland’s best forward, for the last year.

Kilcoyne has had a great year and has looked like a man possessed in these last two games, but Healy is at the top level of front-rows and he’s shown plenty of that.

Which is fine, but he has looked very quiet today. He went off for a HIA so will be interesting to see when that happened because if you were picking a starting prop based on today’s game - which isn’t what happens - then Kilcoyne is starting.

This is Standers best performance for Ireland in ages. Problem is it's in PoM's preferred position and he's our best lineout operator.

Decisions decisions.

I feel like this is our best back row that we can field atm

dublinman1990 · 07-09-2019 02:24PM

That's nice work from Ryan.

Rockbeast2 · 07-09-2019 02:24PM

"This is Standers best performance for Ireland..."

At 6, he's brilliant.

ScrubsfanChris · 07-09-2019 02:24PM

Earl's back on the sideline with an ice pack on his left knee. Looks not too bad.

CMcsporty · 07-09-2019 02:24PM

Think it’s mad that they have left Ryan on. Surely just flog the **** out of Kleyn.
Ryan looks immense. Kleyn looks slow and sluggish

Clegg · 07-09-2019 02:24PM

VdF off. He's in good form for the Scotland game.

kmart6 · 07-09-2019 02:24PM

Reading a lot into it but the consoling of Earls on the bench by Healy and Best didn't look promising.

dodderangler · 07-09-2019 02:25PM

That was a mile forward

Game time in the legs

Obviously joe is using these games to determine who goes and who is first team or not.

Squidgy Black · 07-09-2019 02:26PM

“obviously”

Faugheen · 07-09-2019 02:27PM

I don’t like the look on Earls’ face there.

Addison next inline or DaveK?

Naggdefy · 07-09-2019 02:28PM

Where to fit a second lineout jumper in or continue with this pack, who have done really well.. The big conundrum.

Bridge93 · 07-09-2019 02:29PM

Poor poor call from Raynal

07-09-2019 02:29PM

Refs consistently crap

dublinman1990 · 07-09-2019 02:29PM

Ireland have 85% territory & 79% possession in this half of the match to date.

Sexton is now off for Jack Carty.

Clegg · 07-09-2019 02:29PM

Sexton had a good second half.

clsmooth · 07-09-2019 02:29PM

Henderson is a beast

Rockbeast2 · 07-09-2019 02:29PM

As much as I dislike Munster, I'd definitely start Kilcoyne against Scotland.

*Sexy did nothing today IMO

You’re right. Coaches don’t choose players on form. Devin Toner was getting game time to improve his legs for the World Cup.

Anyway this is a discussion board where we will obviously discuss how players play.

Faugheen · 07-09-2019 02:30PM

He was much better in the second half, was out Johnny.

Clegg · 07-09-2019 02:31PM

Porter giving Raynal the evils.
