RWC: Ireland - Italy (02-10-2011, 20:30)

[big ginger 8]

Scrum will be even for 60 or so the only problem is Italy have Ongaro and Lo Cicero to come on so we either leave our frontrow on for 80 meaning they'll be recked if we have to play Jones and Jenkins or we bring on Cronin (ok) and (with Courts fitness in doubt) um Buckley. Great.

Finely Olly what his Healy done to you I know your opinion of him but you can't ignore the evidence of previous encounters Healy has always stood toe to toe.

Nothing, but Castro is considered one of the best tightheads in the NH, Healy isn't known for his strong scrummaging
He's a lot better than he was, but he's solid not demolishing

Notice you ignore the bit where I praise Ross

"At the captain's run, as always, we had a game of touch," said the Stade Francais number eight. "We always play forwards against backs and I don't know why but until now, the forwards always won."

Poor show from the Italian backs...losing to the fatties at

Ghiraldini with a cheeky gouge on Healy.

Healy lashes out and when Kaplan calls BOD over tells him to make sure his players stay clam. POC comes over and tells Kaplan, 'How do you expect him to react?'

I'd be surprised if there isn't a fight in this match...look at that, BOD and Parisse getting a half time chat from Kaplan.

Conceding too many turnovers.

Expect the banhammer to be wielded for that one. Don't think it was intentional but certainly careless and dangerous

I'll put it down that a Bergamasco will be involved.

I'll put it down that a Bergamasco will be involved.

And either Healy or O'Brien. Though you can never rule out Donnacha. I hope it's Donnacha because we need the other two about

one of them just squandered Italy that scrum by complaining. daft indiscipline.

Ireland pulling away now, 26-6

 

[callsign.springbok]

I think it's safe to start inking in Ireland as Group C winners...

Who is winning the penalties for Ireland in the scrum? Ross?

Healy.

The referee is the player #16 of Ireland. He is working for them. Holly crap!

Healy.

so it was Castrogiovanni who was getting buggered. at the scrum on 59 minutes it seemed the italian props had switched sides

Castro went off as he pulled the Gluteus Maximus, early on in the first half.

Salvatore Perugini switched to play tighthead. Andrea Lo Cicero (I think you are confusing him with Castro) has come on at loosehead.

Was that when he missed Healy being eye gouged or when he disallowed Bowe's try, and I've only seen the first half.
