[2017 RBS Six Nations] Round 1: Scotland vs. Ireland (04/02/2017)

[McTallshort]

Ireland are playing like a team who struggle with expectations

 

[Brabander]

Jesus...Irelands defence was left in Ireland.

 

[TommiG88]

Good try Scotland

 

[munstermuffin]

Ireland's defence has gone to **** really if you look at last 5 games we are leaking tries

 

[ratsapprentice]

The ****ing gall...

 

[Every Time Ref]

I'm sorry but if there's a 12 standing in the lineout you've got to keep an eye on him because something sneaky is CLEARLY planned. Dumb as **** from Ireland

 

[Bluemoon]

Wow, what an outstanding move from Scotland. Caught Ireland off guard completely. Have Ire spent any time on their line out pre tourney?

Scotland are being very clinical in this game. Really taking their chances.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Andy Farrell working to bring down Ireland from the inside

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

you think ireland would think something was up when scotland has three backs in the front of the lineout

 

[j'nuh]

Wow. How did Ireland not realise Scotland was going for something there? There were like three backs in the lineout.

 

[Which Tyler]

WTf was that?

 

[Ospervat]

No12 in the line out should have tipped the Irish that something was up

 

[Brabander]

A player like Peter O'Mahony is desperately missed now. Especially his line-out work and breakdown work.

 

[Reiser99]

I think the only thing Ireland have going for them is their scrum, poor line out, poor defence, poor one-dimensional attack.

 

[munstermuffin]

Heaslip is probably in minus yards for all his carries. Not his fault my point is more on how good Scots defense has been. But we are playing like we have no moves

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

CJ just woke up!

 

[Every Time Ref]

Heaslip is probably in minus yards for all his carries. Not his fault my point is more on how good Scots defense has been. But we are playing like we have no moves

Easy to say from the sofa I know, but seems so obvious that Ireland need to go wide - Scottish defence looking a lot shakier out there

 

[TheSaffycen]

If Gatlands watching he must be praying Sexton is fit. Ireland need him now.

 

[Brabander]

Scotland players are walking around offside freely after every breakdown.

 

[Ospervat]

Ireland look like they are just going through training motions - No purpose or intent whatsoever.
