Yup. Just f**king hoof the thing and the half is as good as over.
Looks like that was the plan as JGP was about to pick it up, and Doris went on a solo run.

Possibly trying to work a better angle but I don't think it's necessary at the point. Put it as far down field as you can.

It was idiotic by Doris absolute no need but they have had quite a few brain farts and given away dumb penalties for no reason. Playing well but should be about 30-0 up not 17-5

Tiring Irish team could do with replacements.

The media aren't doing this Prendergast lad many favours. He looks very solid and much better this week than last but MOM? ffs

Maybe, but I thought he was excellent today. His passing and kicking ooz class. He's definitely not the finished article but I think he's going to be brilliant when he gets more experience.

He improved from last week
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought.

Good performance but plenty to do yet. Scotland not that great are they  .Conan brilliant when he came on.Not seen much from baird yet but think there is a good one there too.Prendergast did fine although a way to go yet .Love James Lowe

I thought Sam Prendergast had a great game. Has much swifter passing hands than previous Irish fly-halves and can fairly toss it out wide. Adds a creative dimension too with clever kicking. Then again the Scots are a poor enough outfit. The French game will tell us more.

Jeez by reading in here you'd think Ireland were shite. Top by 4 points with their 2nd and 3rd hardest games out of the way

True, but we are butchering too many try chances. Handling errors and getting held up a few times. We can't afford to do that against France.

Ireland played well and defended very well but make too many silly mistakes. A better team would punish us. We should have been out of sight, BP done all before half time instead at 50 mins it's somehow 17-11 and game on. Scotland were shite, very disappointing considering all the hype. We need to be far more clinical against the French.

Not allowed to enjoy it as we'll choke at the next World Cup anyway. Life is pointless.
