[2019 Six Nations] Scotland vs Ireland (09/02/2019)

[big ginger 8]

So much pace. Classic Schmidt move.

Presume Maitland to fullback and Kinghorn on the wing?

 

[Bruce_ma gooshvili]

Hogg succumbs to the late 'obstruction' hit and.... game over? Scottish defence regressing but that was lovely by Ireland.

 

[bushytop]

Great try that!

 

[Bluemoon]

Lovely heads up rugby there from Ireland. Made the build up look simple and great pace to finish.

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Nice try buy Ireland.

 

[Reiser99]

That's the difference unfortunately between winning the six nations and not. Making those tackles. With Hogg off now Ireland should easily get the bonus point.

 

[bushytop]

Always take the points...

 

[Bruce_ma gooshvili]

Just general booing and jeering, Sextons conversion is as bad as I've heard in the international game

Yup, the Glasgow fan culture appears to have extended to the national team. Not a good development although the tackle that started the booing did ultimately result in Hogg going off injured.

 

[Leinster Fan]

Has Farrell ever played 12? Him and Ringrose would be amazing as a centre partnership.

 

[Every Time Ref]

Great discipline from Ireland staying alert to that

 

[big ginger 8]

Poite’s cadence is so slow, sticking in the crouch position without a bind is quite stressful.

Was that a forward pass for Kinghorn’s initial break.

 

[Leinster Fan]

Sexton should let Murray or Kearney take the kicks if he's not kicking freely.

 

[Every Time Ref]

Russell is playing pretty well but this feels like the kind of game where he throws an interception or something

 

[Bluemoon]

I really like watching Finn Russell play. Lovely distributor. Seems to have time on the ball. Increasingly making good decisions (cue a terrible pass or kick now).

 

[bushytop]

Finn ftw

You were close!

 

[Bluemoon]

Holy crap. I need to go and get a lottery ticket.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Toby Carvery, what are you doing

 

[big ginger 8]

Poor by Carberry, excellent work from Russel. Good effort from Earls as well.

 

[Leinster Fan]

Hate to say it but there's no way Ross Byrne would have done that.
