The IRISH RUGBY thread

[Capt Pat]

Italy playing well. Only 5 down at half time.

[Milltown Row2]

Ireland will do very well to get four try's tonight!

France looking good

The try Ireland conceded when going for another try when the clock was red last week has cost them the chance to just need a win tonight

[Capt Pat]

Ireland were not to know that at the time. I fully expected England to put 50 or 60 on Italy. We still have a chance tonight.

Seven point margin over France will do !

[Capt Pat]

I still don't think Ireland will beat France tonight. France are much improved over the team that Ireland beat there 2 years ago, but you never know.

Horrible bounce

Deserved try

[From the Bunker]

Stupid tackle! Gave away penalty try ( try with points for conversion, without pressure of taking conversion.) And 10 minutes in the Bin!

[Sportacus]

Does box kicking make any sense when you're a man down?

[gallsman]

Much as I dislike him, Barnes got both of those decisions right. Keenan was unlikely to be able to gather that so no try whereas Dorris' couldn't have been more blatant.

[Tony Baloney]

Coughing up an 82nd minute try against Italy could yet be costly.

Not looking good for Ireland now. At what stage do we just decide we can't win and let France through for the points they need to overtake England.

[delgany]

Like right now !

How is Stockdale still on the pitch?
