Italy vs Ireland - 16/03/2013

[j'nuh]

Italy are impressing again. Italy are used to having a good pack, but this 6N they've finally gotten a decent backline to add to the pack. Orquera's had a few good games, Gori has been impressive (I make him the best scrum-half this tournament?), and the back 3 have been the best back 3 for Italy that I have seen.

Big problem is Ireland have no bench to empty while Italians have loads

What a weird game both BO'D and Parisse yellow carded.

 

[Tony Manx]

Good calls both yellows....worst thing for irish is that he will be back with 20 minutes left and 10 minutes rested!!

They really aren't that impressive. It's a massively under-strength Irish team, with people playing out of position and Kidney playing injured and tired players from previous games.

You were doing well up until then........

It at a stage worryingly where Ross is looking like he's spent but Archer won't be risked. I just in shock our bench is so poorly picked like Kilcoyne Henderson are only 2 forwards named that I think they do trust. I surprised Italians have kept going at Gilroys wing and not tested POM

at least jackson is looking good for the future

I think I heard the whole front row played 80 minutes against France?

Standing way too deep IMO up til now. Need to let Madigan get as many touches as possible.

 

[dullonien]

Maddigan has been impressive since coming on.

 

[Aristodemus]

I agree, Madigan looks really up for it today.

 

[Tony Manx]

Great fight back........lot sof good stuff from Ireland without Parisse there....now lets seee what the last 20 bring?

 

[munstermuffin]

A lot for future something about Henderson makes me think he can be like Ferris every time I see him just hope he's allowed stick to 6

 

[big ginger 8]

Why bring on Toner now.

 

[Draggs]

Thanks for the memories Andrea.
Oh Barnes you **** if that was the other way...

 

[big ginger 8]

Good reffing by Barnes realising it was an accident. Still stupid though.

 

[Aristodemus]

I think it had to be a penalty, justice done in the scrum.
