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.

Some lovely play there by the England backs.

Half time Ireland lead 10-0, scrum has been destroyed

This just kicked into action!

You Frak legend.





er, ty!

Good man but get that off before you get banned! lol

We made it to the break with out conceding. Time for Fitzpatrick to come on

Recheck your streams, mine are up and running now.

Just in time for HT

Done

Half Time Summary:

Sherry has looked good I think whenever in action
Bent is getting turned inside out. Knocked on a few times, slow off the mark, poor in contact
Toner gave away 2 silly penalties (no more Steenson got done from closing gap) he has won more a less all of our lineout ball
McLaughlin has looked physical
Coughlan probably are best player, looks abrasive, tough and has a been in English faces
Marshall has been pretty bad for me
Fitzgerald looks like the best back
Henshaw doing pretty well too

Kilcoyne looks average needs to get involved same with Trimble, he's chasing poor kicks and that is it.

With the wind against them in this half Ireland will need to hold on to the ball far more.

Get Bent and Marshall off for Fitzpartick and Boss

PM the game, anyone? I wasn't quick enough there ER.

How is big Lewis doing?

Doing well in Loose Belfast vet, most of the ball at lineout has been thrown to toner

Who's the main presenter, looks like an older georden murphy

Has toner been competing on opposition ball, has he turned any over? to me that is the whole point of having a 6"10 bean pole in the second row.

That's the go easy guy of setanta...

PM for Morg!

Thanks EnglishReign, Cumbrian, Robbo, Rodders.

I actually don't think Toner has been that impressive, I realise I may get lynched for that lol, he has been ok but not super tbh nothing that would say International to you, Tom Court on for Kilcoyne at half time, thats just stupid Bent is the one getting murdered

Great, I can see the Irish times headlines tomorrow, "Court Crumbles again" they are getting their favourite scapegoat lined up. I hope he goes out and dominates. On the other hand this could show how close the two are perceived for the bench spot vs Wales.

I have never been that impressed by toner, the only game he sort of impressed me in was that bath game in the aviva. He goes into contact far too upright and really doesn't get through enough work. He is too tall to hit ruck effectively.

Whats the crack on the English lads...anyone standing out.

Howes Daly looking at FB..

Presume it was a pre-determined substitution where they would each get a half

I'm pretty sure it was actually McSharry or Cave that made that big hit not Jackson

Some good defence by ireland

Anybody got a UK link? Can't get RTE working

It's decent defence, but it is very pedestrian attack from England. They are taking ages to get the ball of the back of the ruck.

Haha sports lads. Google it

Bent penalised again

First scrum of second half and Ireland holding up well on Courts die but again bent is getting crumbled, get that man off

Scrum could be a worry again come the 6 nations.

10-3 Ford penalty

Not unless Bent gets anywhere near it Nathan, he won't be starting barring injury

He will most likely be on the bench though and ross cant last 60 minutes.

great hands by Sherry

Ah right, who you expecting to line up?

Boss on

Healy, Rory Best and Mike Ross
Subs
Court/Bent
Cronin/Sherry
Fitzpatrick if Kidney has any sense

Commentators are a bit one eyed lol

Henshaw has a fairly big boot on him

Biggs looks a good player

Fitz is having a good game.

Great kick from Ford, inch perfect.

No worse than Brian Moore lol

Nobody is worse than Brian Moore.

Madigan on at full back

Nothing like Brian Moore, Moore certainly lays into England. Most of the time more than the opposition.

I see Declan so your thinking is we have 2 people who need to come of before Bent please Kidney I beg you leave now

These subs make no sense? Now Varley is coming on wtf??

I ACTUALLY HATE KIDNEY WHAT AN ABSOLUTE DOUFUS!

Why is bent still on?
Why is Henshaw off?

This is ridiculous

He's giving game time to the lads that will be in the Ireland 6 Nations squad? So that's Varley and Madigan in I guess.

And not fitzpatrick

Its been a poor game over all though
