Scotland all over the shop, we're going to give them an awful battering
Table so awec doesn't summarily close the thread:
Ireland 37 : 06 Scotland
Finn Russell to intentionally pass to Ireland when he comes on.
Discuss.
I must be in the minority but I like Wayne Barnes.
Cause it’s Scotland
Healy folds again
Healy was warned by barnes at the start of that scrum .
Little similarities to 2010. Not putting the Scots away. Hopefully a bit more clinical in the second half.
Ireland have been very poor in their last 3 matches, should be stuffing an extremely limited Scottish team
Strange first half. We aren't at our best intensity wise. Scotland are competing very hard and challenging us quite a bit.
That being said, I think we have an extra gear and if we can hit that consistently for 20 minutes we should ease away. I think our forwards, when they hit their markers right, show more grunt and handling ability than their Scottish peers.
Get a try early in the second and the Scots will collapse. Don't think they'll be able to stick this pace either. Think we'll put 6 tries on them by the end.
It was strange, he told Kinghorn that “they’re reviewing something but go ahead and tee it up” before he was called to look at their try. You’d almost be lead to believe he wouldn’t back himself down. He considers himself eagle eyed to see it was a try but missed a handful of forward passes 40 seconds earlier. Strange one.
If Ireland win which they should same people who said England was a good performance would want to take their rose tinted glasses off
we are some boys for the errors and silly turnovers when tries are on
100%. Scotland are blowing themselves out for little reward.
A few mistakes on our part for sure, but you can see the gear being kept low and our final 20 minutes will mince them.
Scotland are baxtards for hanging in there
We need to score early in the 2nd half
Healy shot.
Could be his last game today. done well today around the park, but methinks he will get one more scrum and it could be the shepards hook then.
is it to do with Ireland telegraphing where their locks are ? They either go too early and are penalised or the opposition locks are getting in to disrupt.
Henderson looks knackered, he’ll hardly last long into the second half.
Hanging around like a dingleberry at the moment
Poor decision not to take 3 points there.
Lets gets not start this again 😅
I have to say I don’t think he offers anything much around the park.
the pick and drive has always been his forte. He still has that power.
he looks rigor mortis in scrum and in the loose
just shows how badly stocked at LH
Comfortable bp win for Ireland
Lovely words from Johnnie Beattie on ITV about the Pumas player who was killed this morning
Another restart not gathered cleanly
The best and the worst of JGP
No penalty for the tighthead in the way of the pass? Bizarre.
Looks like he drew it himself.
Henderson tiring. Let go of that ball easily.
He hasnt been at the races again today
Not been impressed with Hendy in recent fixtures.
Henderson a liability at the moment
Should have been an Irish penalty though.
Barnes being infuriating now, beirne had hands on the ball, 3 lads eventually get him off it. Nothing. Scotland sealing off every second ruck of their own too.
