Simon Geoghegan is still easily the best winger Ireland have had in my time watching and the only genuine world class one

Hickie and Horgan next best

Imagine he was 10 years later. The goys might have won a WC knockout game

Indeed. The Irish football team wouldn't embarrass themselves or the fans with their performances in the Euros

The Ireland soccer team have won the same amount of knockout matches at major finals as the rugby team

That number being?

How could the TMO not award that try to Henderson?

[sid waddell]

Maybe the referee did a Paul Carberry and thought the try line was the half way line

[screenexile]

I know it's only Italy but those are 2 very well worked tries! A bit of invention and not just smashing over the line from 5m out.

[Estimator]

Earls gets his annual try against Italy!!

[Milltown Row2]

Earls obviously reading the GAA board today!

Win is a win Italy are woeful. You'd wonder would Georgia put up a better fight in Six Nations.

It's very like the Leinster hurling.  The gap between Kk, Galway, Dublin , Wexford and Laois/Westmeath etc is very wide. Hurling chose promotion and relegation. Rugby didn't.

Italty was much stronger in 2007 as well but didn't kick on

I see the refs are helping Wales out again today. It might not be enough, England are fighting back.

That decision for the Liam William's try was peculiar. Even the TMO said the ball wasn't lost forward when it was clear (to me anyway) that it was.
