England Saxons v Ireland Wolfhounds

[An Tarbh]

well he is from Kilkenny and his name is Dowling, not too surprising that he looks inbred.

 

[An Tarbh]

jesus the ref made a better effort to stop England than our defence.

 

[gingergenius]

Waldouck, Goode and Cato looking lovely in the backs.

 

[Bullitt]

Back to the rugby...

Geraghty finishes off a good England move to make it 14-6, although sir may have missed a knock on at the start.

EDIT: Replay goes up - yep, he missed the knock on.

 

[An Tarbh]

bah may well have been a knock on but that doesn't excuse the shoddy defence.

 

[Olyy]

If England play with the same tactics as Saxons today, in the 6N, could be encouraging
Youngs is having a good match,
Think Barrits doing well as well (despite being from SA/playing for emerging Bocks before, so shouldn't really be allowed to play for England...)

It's occurred to me that Ian Dowling has the most interbread looking features I've ever seen on a rugby player.[/b]

Dowling knocks on...

Dowling isn't happy...

 

[snoopy snoopy dog dog]

The team with two tries lead the team with none - as it should be. England's second score was outstanding.

From an Ireland point of view, I've been happy with Fionn Carr, Sean O'Brien and Rory Best. Ian Dowling has been awful while Peter Stringer has shown he's yesterday's man. Hopefully Isaac Boss and Ian Humphreys will be the halfbacks in the second half.

 

[King_D'Arcy]

Stringer is complete poo. Boss please. I want Ireland A to shut Stuart Barnes up in the 2nd half.

shut Stuart Barnes up[/b]

We all know that's not possible, he'll just start harping on about something else

 

[An Tarbh]

we all know what Carr can do in attack, learn how to say his name Sky , but he was found wanting defensively for the second try along with Duffy.

Best has been the biggest bonus though, amazing to think given the injury he could possibly start next Saturday

 

[King_D'Arcy]

ANDY FARRELL?? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

 

[Olyy]

I don't think much to the numbering on the England shirts, i keep thinking Youngs is in the 8 shirt


Also, is it normal for the ref to just be wearing the jersey of the country he's from?

It was in the amateur era but not so much any more.

 

[Bullitt]

Skivington has no braincells...

Has anyone else noticed how the commentators pronounce 'Fionn'? 'Fee-on'

 

[Olyy]

How is it pronounced? Fye-on?
I've always pronounced it 'fee-on' in my head, i think in Welsh ffionn=fee-on so that's probably where it's come from

it's like 'fyun'. I can understand how it looks like it's pronounced 'fee-on' outside ireland but sounds hilarious when you're used to the irish pronunciatiopn
