[2015 Six Nations] Ireland vs England (Round 3)

[j'nuh]

Twelvetrees -> 12
Burrell 12 -> 13
Joseph 13 -> 14
Watson 14 -> 15
Goode 15 -> France

 

[TommiG88]

Nowell has been bad under the high ball. Lancaster is a pleb, with a good coach we would be so much better.

Get Goode off! Oh wait.

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

Depressing.
I don't see how we're going to change things without shaking it up a lot.
I'd bring Cipriani on

 

[TheSaffycen]

If you swapped coaches what would the score be then ?

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Fresh barnet time. Let's get bumming.

 

[Peat]

It's nice to see that Tom Youngs got the same team speech as the rest of them.

 

[Groundhog]

Ireland are flying high. England will need to get the next score. Absolutely simpleton stuff from Tom Youngs there.

 

[big ginger 8]

Clearly @Groundhog was right. Just before that Kearney dg attempt he went down.

Apparently 'just' a hamstring.

 

[TommiG88]

To be fair, Ireland have had their best game of the 6n and this has been our first bad game.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Massive charge from Vinny there!


I'd just empty the whole bench.
36 to 12, Cipriani on for Goode and have him and Ford share the playmaking role with whoever dropping in to 15. Can't go worse than we've gone so far.



Edit:
Jesus! That Irish 18 is the fattest player I've seen since Buckley retired!

I thought we were crap against Italy, to be honest.

 

[Groundhog]

Making this Marty's birthday party.

 

[big ginger 8]

Was a good shift from Rossy, not the best opening scrum from Moore though...

 

[Groundhog]

Yeah that's more what I expected from the scrum. Healy time.

Ah now, Buckley carried his weight quite well cos he was so tall. Marty is just a little Buddha shaped buck.

 

[big ginger 8]

Yeah that's more what I expected from the scrum. Healy time.

I think Toner behind Moore doesn't work too well. He's a good 5 inches shorter than Ross at least.

McGrath also had a great game.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

We need to replace someone in the pack, they're all out on their feet.

Croft for Haskell and Easter for Attwood, for my money.



Edit:
Are we trained to run away from support? Every time we get the ball we run towards defenders and away from supporters

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

nice floating pass from Youngs, just to make doubly sure Haskell gets smashed.

Waiting to hear the excuses in defence of Youngs' basics.

 

[TommiG88]

Where ewers when you need him?

 

[big ginger 8]

Moore is so good on the deck.

Madigan is the wrong 10 to close this out I think.

Henshaw is wrecked. Could have done with Fitz.

How offside is o Connell there?
