Ireland v Scotland match thread

by eirebilly Sat 10 Mar 2012, 4:28 pm

First topic message reminder :

Scotland have been playing well and causing alot of teams problems and leading the 6N stats in line breaks.

I am expecting a very open game against Ireland and it could be a high scorer.

Thank god Clancy is not reffing, this ref is so much better so far

by mckay1402 Sat 10 Mar 2012, 5:29 pm

Great example of a refnot knowing how to ref the scrum. Should have been a penalty to Scotland

by KickAndChase Sat 10 Mar 2012, 5:29 pm

Not sure what the ref is doing at the scrum tbh

Still think Euan Murray should have started.

Not sure I like rugby any more. Other teams just seem to score points more easily...... Crying or Very sad

I would'nt expect you to like it PSW Wink

Does any ref know what is going on at the scrum?

by KickAndChase Sat 10 Mar 2012, 5:31 pm

Is that 3 forward passes for Evans now? What happened to De Luca?

Ref is good though - I'm just getting frustrated at Scotland unforced areas. Only thing I would say is that one team is always engaging early, going way before he started the 'e' of 'engage'; that's where this problem is coming from at the moment.

by eirebilly Sat 10 Mar 2012, 5:32 pm

Healy not binding again!!!!

by KickAndChase Sat 10 Mar 2012, 5:32 pm

Christ Lee Jones is fast.

by mckay1402 Sat 10 Mar 2012, 5:32 pm

Totally agree with that. Every scrum seems to be early.

by KickAndChase Sat 10 Mar 2012, 5:33 pm

Watch every scrum. Ireland in early every time.

Don't be like that. It's early days. Believe!

by KickAndChase Sat 10 Mar 2012, 5:34 pm

Watch Scotland show you how not to score from the exact same position now

De Luca hamstring.

Max Evans can't pass.

Jacobsen always loses his shirt....

by eirebilly Sat 10 Mar 2012, 5:35 pm

A yellow card is coming

by bsando Sat 10 Mar 2012, 5:35 pm

Ireland better be careful here

by Cari Sat 10 Mar 2012, 5:35 pm

Uh - oh Ireland conceding too many penalties now.

by mckay1402 Sat 10 Mar 2012, 5:35 pm

Scotland need a try here.

by Cari Sat 10 Mar 2012, 5:36 pm

Going for the posts now.

by mckay1402 Sat 10 Mar 2012, 5:36 pm

Poor decision. Should have gone for the scrum

by MMC Sat 10 Mar 2012, 5:36 pm

That's an AWFUL call.

by Cari Sat 10 Mar 2012, 5:36 pm

Well, they're only a point behind...

by eirebilly Sat 10 Mar 2012, 5:37 pm

Good kick from Laidlaw clap

I will take that as Scotland looked odds on to score a try there.

by mckay1402 Sat 10 Mar 2012, 5:37 pm

Good kick though. Gives momentum back to Ireland though

by funnyExiledScot Sat 10 Mar 2012, 5:37 pm

The Aviva was a library for that kick. Much respect.

by **Biltong** Sat 10 Mar 2012, 5:37 pm

I have realised somehing today with the scottish backline, they stand very deep on attack, so the passes go deep and although it looks pretty awesome with their backs, they rarely get over the gain line.

by Cari Sat 10 Mar 2012, 5:38 pm

Reddan in!!!!!!!

by mckay1402 Sat 10 Mar 2012, 5:38 pm

O ffs

by eirebilly Sat 10 Mar 2012, 5:38 pm

REDDAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

by bsando Sat 10 Mar 2012, 5:38 pm

is that another try we've conceded from a bad gather at a restart!!

I repeat my point. We work our socks off for 3 points and then completely gift the opposition 7 points with soft plays. I'm getting tired of this. What does our defence coach do day in day out....??

by Cari Sat 10 Mar 2012, 5:39 pm

That was cute from Reddan...little dummy there, Scots concentration lost for a moment...

Well done Sexytoes. 17 - 9.

by eirebilly Sat 10 Mar 2012, 5:39 pm

Sexton

by Shifty Sat 10 Mar 2012, 5:39 pm

I really just don' understand the Scottish team sometimes... Tumbleweed

by Cari Sat 10 Mar 2012, 5:40 pm

Ooh lovely moves from Chilli.

I'm still banking on Tommy getting one in....
