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

[BobbyM]

Murray has been excellent, as has the Irish pack and the positioning of the Irish back 3. Questionable clearout that led to the Watson injury but refs have been letting infringements at the breakdown to all RWC so it is what it is.

The weather is Scotland's best bet now - aiming for a 0 - 0 draw

Too late I think, result would stand

 

[ratsapprentice]

Shoder to shoder.

Ohh Wayne.

 

[Rinkadink]

This weather change!

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Oh good it is raining, I thought the picture on my new tv had turned grainy.

 

[Rinkadink]

Furlong wasting time, jeez

 

[Reiser99]

Was Furlong getting a cheeky message there middle of the game?

Meh guess he's earned it and not like Ireland desperately need him in defence.

 

[Reiser99]

I do love the blind positivity of the Scottish pundits when they try to big up the smallest of achievements. Must be a difficult job.

how do ireland get organsied so quikly. maitland made some good meters, then there was reasonably quick ball but somehow ireland already had a fully formed defensive line.

 

[Leinster Fan]

Who needs a lineout operator in the backrow when we have Andrew Porter.

Laidlaw at 9

With Laidlaw at 9 an ice age could come and go before he is ready to pass.

 

[big ginger 8]

Great finish, but again Scotland have terrible organisation.

 

[Reiser99]

BP for Ireland, job done. Comfortably the worst game of the tournament so far.

I don't think the weather has helped. It was a decent first half.

 

[munstermuffin]

Japan could genuinely beat Scotland

 

[Bluemoon]

Hogg has the right idea at the other end of the field with the out of hand kicking. Ireland have been so much more clinical in the same position.

 

[Leinster Fan]

Almost an amazing try there.

 

[Rinkadink]

What is that restart cry they're piping through the speakers? Crowd tried copying it that time, dying with laughter.

YoooooooOoOOOOOOO
