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.

always said this scotland side's a good 'un......one day they'll turn a corner and start winning. Out muscling ireland here

by Cari Sat 10 Mar 2012, 5:45 pm

Very close game this, maybe my prediction of Ireland by 5 or 6 wasn't so inaccurate....

You still think he looks a little camp? Wink

by funnyExiledScot Sat 10 Mar 2012, 5:46 pm

You can tell we don't score many points. Restarts obviously don't feature on the training ground.....

by Cari Sat 10 Mar 2012, 5:46 pm

I never said he looked camp, I thought he sounded it.

TRIMBY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

by eirebilly Sat 10 Mar 2012, 5:46 pm

TRIMBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Haven't seen Scotland defence look this bad for a long time

by **Biltong** Sat 10 Mar 2012, 5:46 pm

This is certainly turning out to be quite a game.

by funnyExiledScot Sat 10 Mar 2012, 5:47 pm

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr mad

by Cari Sat 10 Mar 2012, 5:47 pm

It's a try-fest all right!

My Boy needs a chance though... Whistle

Ireland are scoring TRIES this tournament. They should have some good momentum going to Twickenham, and probably win thus condeming England to my predicted finish for them.

Tackling optional for Scotland today it seems, it looks as though all those defeats have hit the Scottish confidence now, and they have slipped back into bad habits.

I have been saying for ages Scotland need a new coach and it is showing at the moment.

A miss from Sexton

by mystiroakey Sat 10 Mar 2012, 5:48 pm

what a game !!

I am still impressed with Grays try. That was sublime.

Scotland are going to get stuffed by Italy with their defence on the wings, such soft tries! Well done Ireland so far, I thought Ireland made two mistakes not taking the kicks but they both paid off, they would have been mistakes against Wales, England and France.

by funnyExiledScot Sat 10 Mar 2012, 5:51 pm

I'll be fair, Ireland deserve credit. Two tries came from situations where they could have slowed things down and scored 3 points. Credit where credit is due.

Still think Sean Lamont's "charge down" deserves a mention for moment of the match. What a total plonker.....HAVE IT!!!

by Shifty Sat 10 Mar 2012, 5:51 pm

Best news today my radiators are working for a few minutes, i can press my skin against them and get burnt!

Gimmie that heat! heart

by **George Carlin** Sat 10 Mar 2012, 5:51 pm

Scotland's defence is like a sieve - very, very weird.

Good try by Trimble but he should have been stopped.

Mossy correct in interview - lack of composure.

by eirebilly Sat 10 Mar 2012, 5:52 pm

Gibbo and Rav had a massive fry up today (Rav cooked Wink

) all in preparation for a few cleansing ales tonight.

Great finish, but really dreadful defence from Reddan and Bowe there. Shouldn't have been a try in a million years. Fantastic finish from the form second row in northern hemisphere rugby.

Really pleased with the Irish backrow. O'Mahony is not as good a player as O'Brien, but his different skill set has brought much better balance. O'Mahony has put an awful lot of grunt work in

by Guest Sat 10 Mar 2012, 5:54 pm

Great game this one.

by eirebilly Sat 10 Mar 2012, 5:54 pm

It wasnt the best defence hookisms but Gray was on a huge run. It was a class try.

by Shifty Sat 10 Mar 2012, 5:56 pm

Can you give Wales Richie Gray please? heart

I certainly didn't say that to take away from Gray. Magnificent try. Any other second row wouldn't have scored that even after the poor tackling. He is almost like an extra backrow forward

by Cari Sat 10 Mar 2012, 5:57 pm

To be fair looking back, Tommy didn't stand a chance, Grey put him on his arse and I don't know what Chilli was trying to do...it was a very good try.

No, No mate, i didnt think that you did Very Happy

Missed tackles from Jones again.. oo err, I really want him on the pitch but he needs to start making better tackles. He was way too low on trimble

Let the 'moving Ferris to second row' debate reignite again on Monday no doubt. I really rate Gray so highly. He would be my Lions captain to be honest, a leader and inspiration by example.

Oh great hands from Scotland clap

by Liam Sat 10 Mar 2012, 6:03 pm

Keith Earls completely on the wrong side of the ruck there

by Cari Sat 10 Mar 2012, 6:03 pm

Healy's having a good game today.

Except in the scrum where his binding has been non-existant.

Great kick Chilli

by Liam Sat 10 Mar 2012, 6:04 pm

big moment in the game now

What a touch-finder!

Agreed. He has to improve his defence. Take a leaf out of Shane Williams and Lee Halfpenny's book. Bulk up and make your hits. He's costing us quite a lot today. His tap before half time was truly awful.

by Liam Sat 10 Mar 2012, 6:05 pm

Scrums killing the spectacle, no change there

by Cari Sat 10 Mar 2012, 6:06 pm

I think the scrums have been a contentious issue today anyway.

by eirebilly Sat 10 Mar 2012, 6:07 pm

I hate that rule in the maul. Ireland were going forward.

by Cari Sat 10 Mar 2012, 6:07 pm

Tommy's lost his shoe...these boots are made for losing...

definately, often you find the ref will give a pen for not binding on his side, yet our side watching on the tv you will see the opposition player not binding that side

by bsando Sat 10 Mar 2012, 6:07 pm

that was so good, why can't we always be like that.
