U20s Six Nations

[Groundhog]

Pants on head decision from Moxham

 

[Reiser99]

Lucky try. completely messed up that pick up.

 

[big ginger 8]

Is that the same shoulder as last week for Soroka? We don't have many fit locks as evidenced by the fact he's playing there

Has looked very good today. Excited to see how he develops.

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Ireland make ground so easily against Wales

 

[Groundhog]

Think that would have been a good time to try get the BP

 

[big ginger 8]

Ball was immediately available there, very harsh

 

[Groundhog]

Ref said use it then they continue to maul and we get pinged???? Is he well?

 

[Reiser99]

I guess going over 2 scores makes sense, but surely Ireland should be looking for the BP.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

I like the Irish 10 a lot, carries really well

Attacks the line very well and draws guys in. Good runner in his own right too.

Great hurler as well.

Team actually has a lot of youth like Corkery and guys from outside the traditional schools set up, great to see.

How's Costelow been playing.

 

[Groundhog]

We've had to do a lot of defending today and bounced back very well. Would like to see us work on a few bits but well rounded and well managed game. Love to see Kendellen bag a try at the end. 10 unbeaten on the hop for the 20s

 

[TRF_Olyy]

England vs Ireland should be really good

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Finally got round to seeing the England Scotland game, a consistent theme was the ref would let a Scottish player constantly lie on the wrong side of the ruck so the English couldn't properly clear out and then gave a penalty to Scotland. It was done so frequently it can't have been coincidence, it was a tactic by the Scots and it was pretty staggering how blatant it was yet practically never penalised.

How's Costelow been playing.

Not been great so far this championship. To be fair to him, he was behind a pack who got a pasting v Ireland. But he's looked very indecisive ball in hand v both Italy and Ireland.

Kicked well v Italy though, really controlled the game in the second half when the conditions deteriorated.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Cause he left Tigers
