[Six Nations 2018] Round 2: Ireland vs Italy (10/02/2018)

[ncurd]

**** Ireland,
I put my fiver on there to be 5 or more tries in the first half and they had to knock on about a thousand times withe try line begging.
I'm turning over to watch today's big game (Sale vs London Irish)

I have Ireland to win scoring 6 trys no more no less....grumble grumble.

 

[bushytop]

Great half from Ireland... poor old Italy.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Yeah but who picked up the trophy after the match?

It's all about the current longest winning streak!

 

[munstermuffin]

Italy being embarrassed yet again. The concept of Italian improvement is a myth

Not a myth. Their biggest issue is consistency

 

[munstermuffin]

Views on 1st half.
Conan is impressing and offers something different.
Stockdale seems slow off mark which is bit of worry or maybe I overrated his pace a bit.
We still don't seem to be as creative. We are bashing through and it is working but would it work as well vs better opposition.

But again hard to really say anything as Italy are awful today like terrible. Not Ireland's fault as they can only beat what is in front of them.

 

[Jockstap]

Conan starting next week? Very odd to take him off at this stage.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

I'd have liked to see Conan and CJ together.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Couldn't do that 4mins ago could you,
Useless bunch of....

 

[MikeTheNative]

Not looking good for henshaw.

 

[big ginger 8]

Not good for Henshaw.

If Conan is starting next week he's doing something wrong....Ireland aren't playing!

If this game loses us both Furlong and Henshaw I am going to be ******. Looks like Ringrose can't get back quickly enough.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

****, hope that's not bad.

 

[Jockstap]

Well that looks like him gone for the Six Nations. Good try though.

 

[Groundhog]

**** it anyway. That's wraps for his season I'd says

 

[munstermuffin]

Conan starting next week? Very odd to take him off at this stage.

There is no game next week us there.

 

[McTallshort]

Henshaw being breathalysed

 

[munstermuffin]

****, hope that's not bad.

As you were doing puke sign for my comment on no Munster lads on pitch as keep them fresh for Toulon.
Furlong and Henshaw could be casualties for Sarries.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Ref could have gone all the way on that intercept then

 

[Groundhog]

Poite putting in a top defensive performance for the I Ties

Leinster didn't cross my mind, there's a difference.

 

[MikeTheNative]

With henshaw and furlong injured and the game already won. Wouldn't it make sense to take sexton and Murray off ?

Seems Joe saw my post.
