That's been a seriously impressive performance from Ireland given the players they've lost and the adversity faced.

Then we go and butcher that 🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️

At least 30 points the better team. Gave Scotland no space to operate. Butchered a few chances. Very good side. Mack Hansen some talent. Hope Ringrose ok.

Need to pull Keith Wood and Rory Best into the training squad for next week.

Another afternoon of Murray and his super box kicks again ::)
Always seems to be plenty of hate for Murrays box kicks, but surely this is a tactic approved by management or am I missing something?

It's not that he's doing it, it's how poor they are.
No chance of contesting any of them.

One thing ive always wondered is why the flag on the try line is considered out if you touch it?

Anything on the side line is out, is it not?

Yea the line is out but even if you touch the top or middle it counts as out even if your feet are still well in play

Increased motivation for the English next week - beat Ireland and prevent them winning the triple crown, the six nations, anglo-ireland agreement, brexit, its coming home, bono & geldoff, the DUP, Eamon Holmes, Roy Keane and so on and so forth.

Plus Murray's powder puff box kick  handed the ball back to scotland and directly led to their try.
How is it that Park is 2nd fiddle to Murray?

The one good thing about all the injuries is it might help guard against over confidence against England. I think England are a good team who just haven't got their act together yet. They are always strong up front where the game is decided.

On the plus side for Ireland Furlong and Gibson Park are back and that is a big help for Ireland. Gibson Park to start regardless of who is available. It really should be a grand slam for Ireland but you never know.
