The IRISH RUGBY thread

[Dag Dog]

Farrell starting to learn lessons with his selections at least.

[Captain Obvious]

Scotland have softened England up for the Irish today.

[weareros]

Not over yet. That try gives England something to play for.

[Blowitupref]

Almost held them scoreless in that half. England 7 Ireland 22

[Tony Baloney]

Thats a brutal kick in front of the posts!

That one could come back to haunt them. Should be out of sight.

Far from over.

[Genocide Organ]

England are awful.

[gallsman]

Far from over but paying genuinely well. Couple of poor kicks with ball in hand from Crowley when we had the man advantage and hopefully don't come to rue the 5 points off the tee.

That all said, it can't be underestimated how dreadful England have been. If Borthwick (lol) can fix them at half time it could be a different story in the second half.

[Wildweasel74]

tr**p it into them!!

[gallsman]

Surely even Ireland can't lose it from here.

Need to see it again but not much in the Furlong clear out but maybe a touch lucky given how that tends to get reffed these days.

[Wildweasel74]

Furlong little in it, jut he fair bend Curry legs in a bad position.

[JPGJOHNNYG]

I feel sorry for prendergast because if he played today he would have looked great too

[Wildweasel74]

He cant tackle which too big issue at this level, other guy not as good a place kicker but controls the game better.

[Blowitupref]

Great stuff! Who seen that coming after the display against Italy? FT England 21 Ireland 42

[JoG2]

Very enjoyable!

[gawa316]

To worry about a record defeat a few weeks ago to winning by a record score...unbelievable!

McCloskey catching Smith at the end was as satisfying as some of the tries
