The IRISH RUGBY thread

[weareros]

That was class. Sometimes I wonder is it really that Ireland are better or just that everyone else is worse. But delighted for Italy.

Clear forward pass before the deliberate knock on. Two forward passes in the final attack.

When will we hear the end of this narrative about Scotland. VdM is a donkey.

Forza i azzurri, niente cucchiaio di legno quest'anno!

Scotland massively over hyped they're poor!! The Wales second half was proof of how bad they can be.

Italy have to take a lot of positives from this but need to kick on next year.

I'd say Porter will be in for a rough ride in the scrum this weekend. England will be after scrum pens for the get go.

I know the rugby press love to fawn over the team but some of the commentary this week has been ridicilous.

"Irish rugby fans need to embrace arrogance - it'll make hammering England on Saturday that much more fun"

What the f**k is that??

I hope England hammer them.

[Captain Obvious]

Italy winning, not sure if that means they have improved or this years Six Nations has been so mediocre.

[Tony Baloney]

Poor old Scotland! 

Italy have definitely improved.

Badly caught there Nash goes for the smash and ends up hurting himself then Crowley tried to go too high.

Should set it up for a good game though!

England are up for this.

Hope this not the Irish arrogance that clown was on about. We not at the races.

[Tony Baloney]

Hope this not the Irish aggorance thst clown was on about. We not at the races.

Every commentator said in the run up to this that if England attacked the ruck and worked at speed they'd be in with a chance and that's how it is playing out.

[Captain Obvious]

Leading having played poorly. Was that David McSavage in the crowd?

[thebuzz]

Couldn't get watching this. Have Ireland scored 4 penalties?

The year England won the World Cup I think every score was a penalty.

I don't know much about rugby but I always thought it was better to take every scoring chance instead of kicking to the corner to go for a try?

[Wildweasel74]

All that c**k up from going too long at the line out! Ended up in a try. O'Mahony didn't need lie on the ball either.

[screenexile]

We've been brutal! Lineout poor too many missed tackles now playing a scrum half at wing and then O'Mahoneys yellow!

England have brought intensity and aggression but of course they were going to.

We'll see what we're made of now can we get it done with men down and not playing well??
