    Terrible stadium for an international though

    What was that second penalty for?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,396 ✭✭✭✭DDC1990


    I was going to have a go at Toner for being penalty prone, but ffs!

    The Saxons landed on him, he didn't back in, he didn't make any motion towards the jumper, he just protected himself.

    Every game I see of Bent, the less confident I am becoming about him.....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,264 ✭✭✭✭Fireball07


    Getting destroyed in scrum. Badly.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,396 ✭✭✭✭DDC1990


    LOL "Guys we're not Riverdancing or Morris Dancing...just stay square" :P

    Bent is getting a hammering in the scrums :/


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,612 ✭✭✭Lelantos


    Bent needs help, getting hammered everytime in the scrum


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,702 ✭✭✭✭Clegg


    Bent's side of the scrum is flying back when the hit is made.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,842 ✭✭✭corny


    Big difference in delivery at scrum half. Wigglesworth is poor.

    That's true


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,320 ✭✭✭Teferi


    Lads is anyone else of the opinion that Bent is getting hammered in the scrum? ;)

    At least we can see that Bent can't scrummage . Another shocker . Tell me why we was brought all the way from New Zealand again?

    Slightly better at the hit that time, but the 2nd shove pushed Bent back. Hmm...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,681 ✭✭✭✭P_1


    Mícheál ó Bent isn't having the best of days work in the scrum alright


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,396 ✭✭✭✭DDC1990


    Coughlan is playing class behind a scrum going backwards.

    Its a pity he's not more flexible, would be great as a bench option for Heaslip.

    But now, the backrow replacement has to have experience at 6/7/8 really.

    Henshaw doing well in the air there.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,264 ✭✭✭✭Fireball07


    Henshaw is immaculate under the high ball, whatever about the other aspects of his game.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 607 ✭✭✭ed7890


    What happened against South Africa when Bent looked alright?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,320 ✭✭✭Teferi


    England 15 has a fairly big boot on him.

    Coughlan is an out & out 8. I don't see anyone saying Heaslip has to be more flexible.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,681 ✭✭✭✭P_1


    I'm not liking how we seem to have sit back after the try

    One scrum against a tight head playing loose?
