[Jockstap]

Who's captain now that Best and Heaslip are gone?

Who's captain now that Best and Heaslip are gone?

Sexton I'm guessing

 

[ncurd]

Brilliant work by Haskell!

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

How did Garces not notice Haskell knocking that on.

 

[mustardcharlie]

Hope the England players didn't watch the game in Paris. Quite disturbing. Also an insult to my arse.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

We're playing rugby league with these high bombs

 

[munstermuffin]

Payne is showing his rust a bit too. 2 high balls he's spilled. But we are running a bit more and look bit more dangerous.

We're playing rugby league with these high bombs

Yep I need to get some pies from greggs now.

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

From the way we're organised at some of those rucks it doesn't look like we're looking to play very wide today. Understandable.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

That was stupid from Itoje
We're definitely targeting Sexton

 

[ncurd]

Good we've mullered Sexton!

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Itoje what was that.

The sexton hit was fine, I was on about the 9 hit.

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Itoje being seriously reckless this game.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Itoje what was that.

The sexton hit was fine, I was on about the 9 hit.

Aye, it was so blatant.
The hit on sexton was textbook "let them know you're there" hit. Haskell put one on him before too

 

[ncurd]

Yup a couple of high ones as well. Not surprised the ref had a word.

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

The hit on sexton was a beauty... idk why he gave away the penalty though.

 

[TommiG88]

This has 2011 all over it. Jones needs to have a word, the occasion has got to us.

 

[munstermuffin]

This is superb stuff so far from Ireland.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Too many penalties, too many mistakes

 

[big ginger 8]

That was good.

Some of our clearouts have been vicious. Not the best technique or necessarily legal but absolutely vicious.
