    Good start. Lovely break by Muldoon with a tasty offload before. Anyone know who got it off?

    EDIT: It was Kieran


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,300 ✭✭✭freyners


    Some nice play by zebre. Not going to be pushed over


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,166 ✭✭✭✭Zzippy


    Poor knock on by AJ and clear penalty from Mul. 3-3 fair score so far


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,166 ✭✭✭✭Zzippy


    Healy!!!!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,300 ✭✭✭freyners


    Try healy. Beauty of a pass at the ruck from buckley

    Lovely try. Healy''s gas is a difference maker


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,257 ✭✭✭Hagz


    Has Healy got a girlfriend in Dublin by any chance?


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,442 ✭✭✭its_phil


    That pace by Heaky is frightening and the scrum half pass by Buckley! Wow!

    BOD was calling for Healy to be looked at by Joe Schmidt last night.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,292 ✭✭✭MayoForSam


    Mils left in Healys dust

    How can Aki move when their second rows fat arse is purposefully lying on him?! More common sense needed from the ref

    Too soon!


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,166 ✭✭✭S12b


    Never mind Matt Healy.....Denis Buckley to start at scrum half in Twickenham.....what a pass from a prop from the base of a ruck!!


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,442 ✭✭✭its_phil


    Sure Irish players don't know how to offload or run support lines?! :D

    Hon Kieran!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 512 ✭✭✭gavkm27


    Bundee held by the neck pretty badly there,how did the ref not see that?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,433 ✭✭✭✭thomond2006


    That was a beaut of a try.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,504 ✭✭✭NiallBoo


    Maybe this is just me/old news but does the TG4 player not go full-screen any
    more?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,257 ✭✭✭Hagz


    Sumptuous offloading in the build up to that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,875 ✭✭✭✭MugMugs


    What an outstanding try. Zebre will be kicking themselves


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,257 ✭✭✭Hagz


    Both teams really going for it out wide. Lovely to watch.

    Diadora boots there on a Zebre player there...haven't seen those since Roy Keane days

    Looked like Niyi hit that forward, could have been a penalty try


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,442 ✭✭✭its_phil


    Great D!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,166 ✭✭✭✭Zzippy


    Some difference from the Leinster game. Just shows how much the conditions can ruin a game


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,974 ✭✭✭connachta


    very good defence!!!

    Hard for a team to play that badly two weeks in a row.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,166 ✭✭✭S12b


    Some good counter-rucking from McGinty and Niyi.....probably wouldn't be too high on their list of preferred rugby pursuits!! :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,974 ✭✭✭connachta


    what happened to Heenan


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,245 ✭✭✭ClanofLams


    Scrambling well but poor defence all the same

    Really? Didn't give much up in meters and it's not like they got through on a clean break.

    What a tackle Niyi!!!


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,974 ✭✭✭connachta


    Ronaldson had some piece of defense here too!!!


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,442 ✭✭✭its_phil


    Balls

    11-17

    They've missed a fair few first up tackles

    That's bloody woeful... Two terrible set piece executions with an exceptional stop sandwiched between.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,974 ✭✭✭connachta


    Why did Heenan goes off?

    Well is it tackles or defence? Because that's two different things IMO.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,292 ✭✭✭MayoForSam


    Bit too close for comfort, Pat needs to give them a bit of a lecture at the break.


  • Posts: 0 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Two good tries but a poor display apart from that. We've had to soak up a lot of pressure and just as it looked like we'd done that we self-destruct. Zebre playing well but we are giving them the platform. Strong words needed at half time to lift us from our slumber.

    Jesus seems a bit pedantic. I consider tackles a part of defence. Maybe I should have some poor defence.

    Your defensive system can be sound but if people are missing straight up tackles, how could you blame your system?

    I didn't mention defensive system, used what I consider to be a broad term of defence. You disagree with that interpretation obviously, we're going around in circles so I'll leave it at that.

    They're instrinsically linked.....a good system is nothing without good tackling and good individual tackling is nothing without a defensive system.

    Heenan seemed to have a cut on the side of his head when the cameras cut to him on the sideline.

    Nice by AJ


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,166 ✭✭✭✭Zzippy


    Lovely break and pass from AJ


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,076 ✭✭✭✭vienne86


    Great by AJ. Shoo in for Healy.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,113 ✭✭✭galwaylad14


    Class there from AJ and great support play by Healy. He has an unbelievable nose for the tryline.
