Wolfhounds v Saxons

First topic message reminder :

Sportsground in Galway Friday night.

Anyone else going?

Went to the last one 2 years ago in Ravenhill and had great crack. Fock all people there though. Probably the same this time or worse.

Cheap night out though. Hour and a half drive from Dublin. Cheap B&B.

Can you not get RTE on the box? Links are unreliable at the best of time, especially for stupid games like this, I'm having to pay a f**kload to get the Six Nations over here as I'm not willing to rely on the worthless internet.

Ireland just had a scrum 5m from English line, turned over by England as irish scrum got decimated on bents side, ooh nearly a chargedown by Cave

This is so frustrating! I can normally find a stream for ANY event, but not this. It's like they've throw a fortress around the game!

Can't get any of my usual links to work either, does anyone know a radio station doing commentary?

I've been trying as well. Lot of links up, but none of them load a picture or even sound.

You round Belfast rodders?

2 pens given way by Toner early on here, needs to be careful

Its due to it being solely on RTE, it means GAA is hard to get in the summer as well because its only on in Ireland.

Ireland under serious pressure, Bent is getting folded up all the time here

Bent is getting dominated here

in the scrum i mean

I give up RTE identifying my ip address as in GB so getting the international version of the site.

Any score updates?

I bet Deccie Fitz still only gets 20min at the end of the match.

I suspect Deccie Fitzpatrick will be on second half, bent getting destroyed in the scrum, mn I hope Ross don't get injured in 6 nations

Nick Wood got Bent's number?

Fitz is a good second choice if he can stay fit. Big if mind.

England just missed penalty 25 mins in Ireland 7-0 England. You round Belfast area Rodders?

7 - 0 to Ireland.

The irfu twitter keeps saying that the wolfhounds are putting pressure on the Saxons scrum.

Thanks for the updates guys, they are much appreciated.

26min Irish summary

Sherry and TOner linking well in lineout
Bent getting crucified in scrum and poor in loose too
Coughlan has been pretty immense- spoiling, carrying, dogged to the last
Marshall's passing is poor, very poor
Jackson looks ok
Centres defensively solid
Fitz kicking beautiful, good defence and great step and offload
Henshaw looks lively too

Ford continuing with his rubbish kicking. Having said that it does look windy there.

I take it they mean pressure on the English lads not to burst their holes laughing.

They are getting minced up front Vet absolutely minced, Bent is under serious pressure although I suspect the whole front isn't entirely innocent

I bet whoever called for Bent to start ahead of Ross is feeling pretty stupid now.

I know I get stick from my fellow Ulster fans for saying this, but I just don't rate Marshall at all, he isn't all that.
Hearing that Toner has given away a few stupid penalties?

Edit; Hows Trimble playing? I want him to start against Wales.

I just hope they bring on Fitz with court as court would be wasted in that front row.

He has Val and I rate Marshall but his passing has always been hit or miss, for me he is a better sub to inject pace etc with bout 20 mins

That wasn't nasty at all!

Thats a very nasty elbow on Paul Marshall should have been a yellow but the ref didn't have the English number lucky boy. Jackson knock over the pen 10-0

I actually think Michael Heany is a better prospect as he plays the same style as marshal but seems to have a bit of something extra.

10-0 good kick by Jackson

I wish Neil... up in the NW... otherwise I'd pop down to the pub and watch it...

Trimbles been pretty quiet. He hasnt really seen the ball.

Irish scrum demolished again

Wasn't very nasty at all! Should of been a yellow though.

How is that not a pen for a deliberate knock on?

Bad times Rodders, scrum decimated again Trimble nearly made the intercept but couldn't hold on, england have a scrum now though not far from Ireland line

Stick Marshall in at tight head!

Suddenly signing mike Ross up for another two years at Leinster is looking like a very shrewd move.

I see a yellow but not nasty ummm

Have you got a link Nathan?

Bent shouldnt finish the half here, were definitly going to concede if he stays on the pitch

probbly because it wasn't

He reached out with one arm.

Gone 90 Ireland get the scrum don't know if that will mean much though lol

Cumbrian wrote:Have you got a link Nathan?

No mate, I get it on my sky box.

Penalty for Offside against Saxons, scrum in trouble and Nathan only being able to get one hand on it does not make it a deliberate knock on

I knew he was having a rough start at Leinster but I didn't think bent was this poor.

Streams have kicked into action!

Ah no worries.
