The IRISH RUGBY thread

Worrying about Hansen.

Earls likely to start on the wing in the knockout stages if Hansen is out. Earls probably the greatest fraud of a player in Ireland's history. Luke Fitzgerald would have outranked him but he'd the decency to get hurt and retire early.

he passed his HIA but i'd say there was no point risking him once the 2nd try went over and Farrell knew that

Is the 4 try bonus point putting Ireland through already regardless of what happens.

Thank god nobody listened to the Cancel Culture and ZOMBIE is being played through the PA.

[ONeill]

Yeah, I think it's important that Zombie is played through the PA. Should push Ireland on.

Wild Rover now

Ireland have picked up a few knocks in this game but hopefully none are too serious.

I thought this was going to be a really competitive game but Scotland couldn't lay a glove on Ireland.

[seafoid]

Scotland are improving but they haven't done the work that Ireland have over the last 4 years.


After Ireland bate France in the 6N to set up the Grand Slam, Farrell and Sexton were asked if they were happy with the performance . They said it wasn't good enough. This Irish team is very different to any previous Irish team, even Schmidt's. This clip is really interesting.

I was on the world ranking site. If Ireland lost that match they could have dropped to 4th. WTF. Win 16 in a row lose one and drop to 4th. That seems a daft system.

Another quarter final loss incoming

Brilliant performance & great to beat the wettest of wet pussies. Scotland are a dreadful nation of bluster.
