The IRISH RUGBY thread

Seriously lads who do you want in the team? Right now Kearney, bowe, murphy, trimble, ferris, heaslip, flannery and Buckley are injured, when they get fit again the team,squad is a whole lot better, but right now this is about as good as it gets

Italy 19
Ireland 34

That is my prediction.

France 34
Scotland 12

No bother for the French to go from losing by 60 to the Aussies and then whack the Scots.

A crap Scots team can beat a good French team. That is one of the quirks of 6 Nations rugby.

Only a very good Irish team can beat even a poor French team.

Lots and lots of mistakes.

Our scrum and line out not going too well but early days yet.

Maybe that score will settle us down now?

Some tackle by Sexton on the lock.

Lifted him and drove him back 5 yards (with a little help from Wallace).

Dinny Breen · February 05, 2011, 03:19:15 PM

This is absolute rubbish.

No go forward ball from the pack or the centres, O'Leary needs to be taken off now, everything bad is stemming from his awful delivery.

Jebus O'Driscoll has been bad off his left hand while D'Arcy has been poor but in fairness there have been some decent performances. Earls and the two locks for example.

anportmorforjfc · February 05, 2011, 03:48:15 PM

D'Arcy can't seem to howl onto anything.

screenexile · February 05, 2011, 03:51:29 PM

D'Arcy, Wallace, O'Callaghan off and Wallace, Jennings and Cullen on please!!!

O'Leary will be off shortly.

He is so slow with the pass that Parisse is tackling him before he even looks.

Are you even watching the match?

O'Callaghan has done ok in fairness.

He even had two offloads, thereby increasing his international offload count to two.
