Sorry someone remind the lads that in Union scrums are supposed to be contested and that you do indeed push.

Aidric · 14-03-2009 05:23PM

Absolute tosh from Ireland in the first twenty mins, coupled with poor discipline, this could be a long evening.

beertons · 14-03-2009 05:24PM

Bout time something went our way!

ROVER · 14-03-2009 05:33PM

Congrats to ROG hightest 6 nations point scorer

juvenal · 14-03-2009 05:33PM

Heaslip on for Leamy - shoulder injury?

Stev_o · 14-03-2009 05:33PM

Leamy off good call wasn't offering anything. Heaslip has to now offer something more then heads down rugby.

9-6 to Scotland but might change now, Scotland shot at goal.

Goes over 12-6 to Scotland.

9-6 SCotland, about to be 12-6

Ruu_Old · 14-03-2009 05:36PM

Scotland 12-6 Ireland (might get 3 back in a moment)

pickarooney · 14-03-2009 05:37PM

12-9

juvenal · 14-03-2009 05:37PM

Another chance for ROG to bring it back to a three-point gap. Sounds like an easy chance outside the 22m line, which he's got. 3/3 from O'Gara, and 4/4 from Patterson.

Scotland 12 Ireland 9.

Stev_o · 14-03-2009 05:43PM

Ahh he deserved a try there, awful kick by Kearney and ROG gets burnt.

pickarooney · 14-03-2009 05:43PM

cracking tackle by Bowe

Ruu_Old · 14-03-2009 05:43PM

Great counter by the Scottish.

Craft25 · 14-03-2009 05:43PM

omg.. kearneys the man, but with kicks like that he's running out into no mans land..

LUCKY!!

banshee_bones · 14-03-2009 05:43PM

nooooo waay too close.....

toomevara · 14-03-2009 05:43PM

Great game.... if you're Scottish that is...we'll be lucky to get out of this one with a win..

pickarooney · 14-03-2009 05:45PM

Relieved to be only 3 behind at the half

Stev_o · 14-03-2009 05:46PM

Id worry for ourselves. Scotland playing alot faster and flatter, they are completely dominating the breakdown area, Barkley having one of those days for Scotland. Needs to be picked up in the next half if we want to win this!

Ruu_Old · 14-03-2009 05:46PM

Decent enough end to the half, lets start the way we left it off.

ROVER · 14-03-2009 05:46PM

Great last man tackle by BOD

juvenal · 14-03-2009 05:46PM

Phew, could be going into the half 9 points down there, great covering by Bowe and BOD?

Good sustained phases of play there, Darcy just couldn't get the ball out to BOD in time at the end. This is going to be very close, needs something just to open it up slightly.

Aidric · 14-03-2009 05:47PM

Some of the forward pass decisions by Kaplan have been infuriating. We need to start putting consecutive phases together in the second half.

Nah, not the ref...same old story, business end of the tournament, the pressure and expectation comes on, we go into ourselves and the cracks start to appear....

banshee_bones · 14-03-2009 05:52PM

Its a small margin to be trailing behind at half time, could be worse, we can turn this around, as long as they keep up that tempo they left the first half with...

juvenal · 14-03-2009 05:59PM

Kearney really should've taken that.:(

Ruu_Old · 14-03-2009 06:02PM

This is good stuff at the moment, good lineout.

Craft25 · 14-03-2009 06:05PM

this is making me seasick!!

juvenal · 14-03-2009 06:06PM

Much better pace to the Irish game since halftime, although Patterson almost got the bounce there and was away for a certain try.

Still very tight, Ireland need to play the game in the Scottish half and keep the tempo up.
