Ireland v Scotland match thread

by eirebilly Sat Mar 10, 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.

by Liam Sat Mar 10, 2012 6:08 pm

Lamont having a good game, very agile on his feet

by Cari Sat Mar 10, 2012 6:09 pm

Gwaaaan Chilli!!!

Lovely take Tommy Smile

by Cari Sat Mar 10, 2012 6:10 pm

Why's the ref's mic off?

by eirebilly Sat Mar 10, 2012 6:11 pm

Is that a try?

by Cari Sat Mar 10, 2012 6:11 pm

SHIIIIIIIIT was that a try? I think he got held up....

by Liam Sat Mar 10, 2012 6:11 pm

how long can you be held up for or is it play to the whistle, cos thats a try if there's no limit

by MMC Sat Mar 10, 2012 6:11 pm

Tell you what, what ever you think about where Keith Earls should be playing, he's really growing into that 13 role.

by Cari Sat Mar 10, 2012 6:11 pm

No no no that was Tommy's record!!!

by **Biltong** Sat Mar 10, 2012 6:12 pm

I think he took too long to get it down not sure how the TMO will see it

by eirebilly Sat Mar 10, 2012 6:12 pm

Penalty

by Cari Sat Mar 10, 2012 6:12 pm

Feck. Not allowed.

by bsando Sat Mar 10, 2012 6:12 pm

no way that was a try

by funnyExiledScot Sat Mar 10, 2012 6:13 pm

Held up was fair. He had an age to ground it.

Plus we need it.....

by Liam Sat Mar 10, 2012 6:13 pm

I thought no try, Bowe was holding on for a good few seconds which is why I asked was there a time limit in this case.

by Hookisms and Hyperbole Sat Mar 10, 2012 6:13 pm

Difficult decision there for the TMO, probably the right one though. Good defence from Morrison

by eirebilly Sat Mar 10, 2012 6:13 pm

What was the call, double movement?

by wales606 Sat Mar 10, 2012 6:13 pm

Interesting decision

Was it double movement because it took so long?

by Cari Sat Mar 10, 2012 6:13 pm

Bsandro, no it's not. Penalty to Scotland.

D'Arcy

by Cari Sat Mar 10, 2012 6:15 pm

D'Arcy!

by Liam Sat Mar 10, 2012 6:15 pm

Scotland just got to ride this storm at the moment, hope to get a penalty and get some field position

Ok, cheers mate. Didnt think it was a try in real time either.

Or is it just my Munster goggles?

by Cari Sat Mar 10, 2012 6:16 pm

Munster goggles! laughing

by Liam Sat Mar 10, 2012 6:17 pm

There's the penalty i was talking about

Holding onto the ball

As far as I understand the law of holding on doesn't really apply over the tryline.

It is usually either held up or a try.

In this case there was only one defender so the movement you make to ground the ball I expect has to be immediate, you can't wriggle around forever to get it down as each of them is a movement.

In that case he should have just held on and it would have been seen as held on.

I think.

but then it isn't really a ruck when there aren't a next arrival.

Maybe we should ask Stag.

by eirebilly Sat Mar 10, 2012 6:17 pm

Munster goggles are better than Leinster goggles Wink

Sorry but D'Arcy has to go off.

by eirebilly Sat Mar 10, 2012 6:18 pm

Bowe

by Liam Sat Mar 10, 2012 6:19 pm

Big penalty again for Scotland, just need a bit of Jon Davies' famous "Composure" and try to pick up some points going into the last 20

by Cari Sat Mar 10, 2012 6:19 pm

Tommy behave yourself!

by Cari Sat Mar 10, 2012 6:19 pm

ROG on, and TOL Shocked

by eirebilly Sat Mar 10, 2012 6:19 pm

Sexton to 12?

by Hookisms and Hyperbole Sat Mar 10, 2012 6:20 pm

I think Earls is having a decent match. He certainly hasn't been the weak link in defence but has shown little in attack. D'Arcy having another poor match though.

Just as I type that I see Kidney has made some changes. I am VERY worried about the rest of this match.

by Liam Sat Mar 10, 2012 6:20 pm

looks like it

Would happily do that! Very Happy

c'mon Scotland, game is there for the taking

by eirebilly Sat Mar 10, 2012 6:22 pm

I like the idea of Sexton at 12. D'Arcy has been poor again, how he continually gets picked i will never know.

by Hookisms and Hyperbole Sat Mar 10, 2012 6:22 pm

O'Gara-Sexton-Earls....I wonder where Richie Gray might run towards the next time he gets the ball

by Liam Sat Mar 10, 2012 6:23 pm

Needed those changes Scotland, desperately need some points on the board other wise ROG will kick them out of the game

I bet Gibbo's screaming to get Jenno on laughing

Nice to hear Fields of Athenry again.

by Liam Sat Mar 10, 2012 6:25 pm

poor kick, can't miss touch at this level

by Cari Sat Mar 10, 2012 6:25 pm

Cotter blames Laidlaw for that mistake and he's not even playing!!

by dublin_dave Sat Mar 10, 2012 6:25 pm

Closing it out aka letting scots come back at us. go to keep playing

by eirebilly Sat Mar 10, 2012 6:25 pm

Indiscipline starting to set in for Ireland.

by bsando Sat Mar 10, 2012 6:26 pm

time to bring Scott on Robbo

by eirebilly Sat Mar 10, 2012 6:26 pm

Rennie off for Scotland, big call as he has been good today
