The IRISH RUGBY thread

[heganboy]

wtf was Conor Murray doing there, gentle nudge?

[screenexile]

At least one Irish unified team is playing well

Of course the Rugby lads always do well in tournaments? 

At least they are competitive.... Far smaller group to pick from than most countries

Yeah, but they usually do crap in tournaments? We never get past the Quarters which is the measure of success with such a small pool of top teams.

Lets all slag off our own countries sports teams sure it's great craic!

Have you ever seen a team do their best to lose a match in the last 10 mins f**king idiots that was even more painfull than the football

[Dinny Breen]

Of course you should never make errors in a very physical game played at altitude in the last 20 minutes against a team not just playing for pride but probably their careers.

It was a good effort, all comes down to next week. Really good performance by Tadgh Furlong must be all those hurling skills he has.

making errors is one thing but in those last 15 mins pretty much nothing went right. forget abiut all the missed tackles which were too numerous to count the biggest brain fart moment was the crossing penalty just when they had a chance to relieve some pressure. you can shrug it off if you want but will they ever have a better chance to win a series away to one of the big 3

Those errors were because they were out on their feet that's where they the lack of concentration comes from. You do realise they only had 25% possession, do you know how hard you have to work when you don't have the ball. SA's best players were their Lions who surprise surprise play at home at altitude in Ellis Park. This week was a free shot, next week is the game Ireland were targeting will be surprised if they don't do it.

Subs offered nothing. SA will be better again next week. Looks ike Henshaw is out. Olding is not an inside centre

[Milltown Row2]

The momentum was with SA, sometimes you can't stop that... Thought at the time those missed kicks would be crucial....

Proper collapse deflated Irish sports fans today

He is potentially the best inside centre we have got but if the tactics are up n under all the time toner might as well be 12!!

He isn't. luke Marshall is. Olding is a full back

[whitegoodman]

If u watched ulster or knew anything about rugby in Ulster u would know that FB is Oldings 3rd best positional and he is a better inside centre than Marshall.  Most Ulster supporters would tell you that

the difference is marshall took his chance at the highest level. Olding didn't.

Ulster rugby fans would tell you a lot of things if you listen to them too long.

You, of course, prefer to remain silent. 

[whitegoodman]

Luke Marshall chances at centre 7, Olding chances at centre 1.  Your last statement more or less acknowledges you know fcuk all about it !!!

[screenexile]

Is Schmidt finally acknowledging Payne needs to be FB??
