[2019 Six Nations] Scotland vs Ireland (09/02/2019)

[Every Time Ref]

You were close!

A bit of confusion in the messages coming from my crystal ball clearly

 

[Reiser99]

While it's a well taken chance and Scotland have scored a few intercepts, it's not a viable tactic to win games. I don't see Scotland winning still.

 

[Leinster Fan]

I've criticised Earls a lot but he did very well there.

 

[Every Time Ref]

Is Kinghorn playing fullback?

Edit: is that Carvery ballsing up again?

 

[munstermuffin]

Hate to say it but there's no way Ross Byrne would have done that.

Didn't he do it in a game in recent months. Not really a point though as it bit of shitty throwdown. Was poor call by Joey on 2 counts.

But it's a game where we are predictable. Aki has - yards

 

[big ginger 8]

We're having to commit way too many players to rucks and it's leaving us with very few options in attack, good work by Scotland in fairness.

 

[TheSaffycen]

Carberry is an interesting player, clearly talented but does he fit how Schmidt wants to play? Scotland can get a lot more change out of him I think

 

[munstermuffin]

Weather looks like it will make it edgy too

 

[Leinster Fan]

It's unfair on James Ryan that he has to play with other humans because none of us are good enough for him.

 

[Leinster Fan]

Kearney has been great defensively.

 

[Leinster Fan]

Great tackle from Stockdale

 

[bushytop]

Great defence... great half!

 

[TheSaffycen]

Great passage of play, but never thought Scotland would score

 

[big ginger 8]

That is absolutely class.

Great seeing Roux and Conan showing up well in that passage.

 

[Every Time Ref]

Great defence from Ireland, try-saving pass from Jones!

 

[Bluemoon]

Great defence, but can Ireland keep this up all game? The England game is likely to take its toll at some point. It was physically brutal.

 

[Dai Yorkshire]

Scotland very narrow, should have scored there

 

[Reiser99]

Great defence... Great half!

Great defence, but I think Scotland's attack was predictable and haphazard. Instead of having a clear plan they just kept trying different things even if it wasn't on. Laidlaw as well is still to slow. Needs to be quicker.

Suppose your gonna tell me how it was a rubbish half of rugby too!

 

[Leinster Fan]

Conan had a great half.

Stockdale is so far ahead of any other winger we've had for years that it's ridiculous.
