[2017 RBS Six Nations] Round 2: Italy vs. Ireland (11/02/2017)

[munstermuffin]

Delighted Niall Scannell started ok. Scrum looks good still despite changes

 

[TheSaffycen]

Scrum looks more than good, it's possibly the best in the world. Scary power.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Italy look poor, this is gonna be a demolition job.

 

[TommiG88]

From the first 5mins, this will be a demolition

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

italy challenging ireland to counter attack seems like a bad strategy since it's resulting in zebo getting a one on one

Hard to judge as Italians aren't great. But certainly looks good.

 

[TheSaffycen]

If Ireland come away with nothing here than Italy will get a huge boost. Can't see it happening though, SOB try my best.


Well he would've got it if he wasn't such a poor 7. Clearing rucks instead of scoring tries smh

 

[RedruthRFC]

Happy with overs on Ireland, looking ominous for Italy.

Has Zebo been HIA'd?

 

[munstermuffin]

Keith Earls. Whatever you think of him he gives tries. Was a try for pack though. PJ with superb pass

I think it was shoulder, but was back for next scrum

Was shoulder when he dived he landed awkwardly

 

[TheSaffycen]

You can't commit 3 men to a ruck and not slow the ball down. You either make it horrible every ruck or you don't commit and spread out. Italy are already gassed it looks.

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

jackson going for trick shots now i see

This is some nice therapy from last week. A lot of very nice things in that try, the offload by Heaslip, the savage clearout by I think Earls and Zebo's pass.

Didn't hit his head.

Big change in Heaslip this week. What I'm liking is he's vocal as captain too. We lacked that off Best last week. Scannell and Healy have been superb.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Italy are muck.

 

[Tadginator]

How did Wales do so badly against Italy?
