[2015 Six Nations] Scotland vs Ireland (Round 5)

[big ginger 8]

I was thinking to myself how much Sean O'Brien has both bulked up and slowed down since his injury...
...before realising I was looking at Mike Ross.

Hahahah !

Great timing as well!

Really pleased Fitzgerald is vindicating his selection, now all we need to see is Keith Earls in for Jared Payne.

No thanks. I'd prefer him on the wing with Bowe or Fitzgerald moved to centre, then ok. If you had then Payne at fullback after that, we would have some attack line.

Isn't that obstruction by Toner?
It wasn't a maul, he handed the ball back before a Scottish player joined, and then Gray couldn't get to where O'Brien was because Toner was in between them? I'm sure I've seen that extact play called as obstruction before.

 

[Groundhog]

Typed that while we made a break, got distracted. Meant to say underrated.

All is forgiven. All is forgotten.
Sean O'Brien you scented pine!!!!

 

[Tony Manx]

So the points difference to Wales nearly closed (oh yea unbelievers!!) and Ireland showing what a poor defensive side Scotland are.....finally!!!!!

No more than 21 points please Scotland!!

I think Ireland winning by this much was always on the cards maybe not this quickly. It's England I worry for!

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Ahah, loved how frantic that all was!

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

Nice one Seanie.
Keep it coming Ireland!

Just goes to show what Ireland can do when they need points rather than just the win...
Plus an actually fit Sean O'Brien..
...and a Luke Fitzgerald...

It's so weird seeing ireland score tries.

 

[big ginger 8]

Seanie is back!

 

[ruggabee]

Toner very pedestrian a couple of times there.

 

[UlsterRugby2012]

This is rugby at its best. We need ways to make games more like this, teams somehow rewarded to play open. No idea how, but this is class stuff. Today is definitely a great advert for the sport!!

If England are prepared to keep it cool to start with, then give it a go and are as clinical as they have only shown glimpses of, then France will fold and anything is possible!!

Think the under rated Andrew Cotter summed it up best......"this is madness!!!" Good fun though..............particularly if Scotland start to play some attacking rugby which they have to as their defence is awful!!

No sooner said than a try............

See, I told you we could play more wide!!

 

[munstermuffin]

All this about Scotland improving but I'm struggling to see it much

 

[ratsapprentice]

Good call for going off the feet there - see those given as holding far too often.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Oh Scotland you used to be cool.

 

[big ginger 8]

Ah that was ****e, Why didn't we counter instead of trying to steal?

 

[Groundhog]

Lucky try.

 

[bw245]

Disappointing.
