[RWC2019][Pool A] Round 1 - Ireland vs. Scotland (22/09/2019)

[ncurd]

This is going to be a rout isn't it?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Though Wilson had stripped that, but you can see the try before the strip on replay

Dream start for Ireland

 

[bushytop]

Scotland obvs saving themselves for the Japan game... sensible!

 

[g6mcg]

Almost seems like Scotland don't trust their forwards to carry in attack. Yes they have fantastic backs, but if the opposition know it's going to them then it becomes so much easier to defend.

Scotland look a bit like unsure now that they didn't get the first score.

Ah but every team to score first has lost!

 

[Every Time Ref]

That looked like it might have just bobbled forward on the replay?

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Tuuuuuune.

fields of athenry?

 

[Leinster Fan]

But everyone told me Conway was better in the air than Larmour?

Why is Wayne Barnes a referee in a World Cup?

 

[Leinster Fan]

Why is Wayne Barnes a referee in a World Cup?

Cause he's way better than anyone not at the world cup?

 

[Rinkadink]

Cause he's way better than anyone not at the world cup?

Probably better than most at the world cup too.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Irish players dropping like flies out there

 

[Reiser99]

Probably better than most at the world cup too.

You take that 'probably' back and apologise right now!

 

[g6mcg]

Not the commentary dream team, is it?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Why is Wayne Barnes a referee in a World Cup?

Because he's pretty comfortably the best referee in the sport atm

 

[big ginger 8]

Conway totally meant to do that.

 

[Bluemoon]

Laidlaw is being his usual slow self at the breakdown. Ireland have all the time in the world to organise. I've seen universal credit applications processed faster.

 

[Leinster Fan]

We got so f***ing lucky that bounced off the posts.

 

[CymruRygbi]

Because he's pretty comfortably the best referee in the sport atm

Wouldn't trust him to make a piece of toast without burning the house down but yeah he's great.

 

[bushytop]

Typical Ireland, off 9... off 9 .

 

[Reiser99]

Yep, Scotland need a miracle. Their attack has been nullified by an organised Ireland, they aren't really slowing down Ireland at the breakdown and their defence looks more worrying than it has done for a while.
