Yeah, it looked more clumsy than deliberate. I think the ref has been very fair though to both team.
what is going on with the Irish players
Porter Ryan Doris van der flier Gibson park ringrose Lowe and henshaw are playing some of the worst rugby you will see
Totally incompetent stuff.
Ah it happens to everyone at some point. Not like his radar is off, just completely mishit it.
Aki needs to be in at 12, he's our best centre. I actually prefer Henshaw at 13.
Not a single player to be positive about in that 40 min. Utter rubbish.
yep. That was terrible. But glad to see we can back after a very poor start. Glass half full, we are halfway to a bonus point and leading.
Out attack is woeful. We look so 1 dimensional
You could see he wasn't ready as the shot clock hit 10. The rushed it
Our attack seems to have regressed back to Gatlands days of piling everyone in the lineout…
Goodman not impressing.
That was a big break for us, Italy picking up a yellow card for a cynical deliberate knock on
And we capitalize immediately by getting a try that just about has us ahead at half-time, 12-10.
But, we've been stink rotten.
Prendergast with an awful kick there ffs
I think we are missing Mike Catt for attack… we look rudderless out there.. Even in the November series you could see the signs…
JC crowley
Ah jaysus I can kick better than that.
I don't want to hear another word about Crowley V Prendergast on this forum.
Not. Another. Word.
Jack didn't catch that conversion attempt right at all complete shank
Lineout mail or nothing from Ireland
This is a dreadful Italian team in defence
Terrible conversion attempt. Halftime lead all the same, and that is about the only positive.
that’s a bad conversion miss
We don't deserve the lead at all considering how bad we've been.
Now we need to press home the advantage in the second half when they're down to 14 and having already made early injury subs.
Jaysus.
Thanks Lamaro
Ireland do well to finish that try after being gifted that by a brain dead decision by the Italian to give away that penalty.
As bad as Ringrose was earlier what was Lamarro thinking there and he's just on. It was so bad it deserved a try to be conceeded
Now THATs a dumb penalty lmao
Gift of a try
Fair play Luke - knew instinctively that wasn’t right.
And the try
Blatant and idiotic from Lamaro.
not many coming out if this tournament in credit but I’d say Easterby is the man whose prospects have been damaged most. The team looks sloppy, frankly. They’ve had 2 or 3 decent periods in the whole comp, failing to score early or put teams away, multiple cards and totally predictable. I’m not looking forward to the ABs in November, that could be a long day for us.
100% deliberate.
