The IRISH RUGBY thread

[screenexile]

That was some entertainment. Given how poor we were in France we didn't deserve it but finished the tournament very strong.

Plenty of positives!

Brain dead doesn't begin to describe. Genge, the f**king glipe chessum for not scoring under the posts and running to the corner making the conversion difficult and then Pollock for ripping the ball winning the match and then for some reason just throwing it away FFS. The ref was cnut as well

2 minutes to play and England kick the ball away, someone explain this sport to me lol.
I just don't understand the logic.

I'm a very casual rugby fan but can someone explain to me why the English scrum half kicked that ball back to France with 90 sec left. Why not just bring it into 4 more rucks and get rid

6 of one, half a dozen of the other. Desperate not to risk a knock on or penalty at a ruck that would essentially have been a tap over. Box kick wasn't the right choice though. If they were going to clear, should have been kicked as long as possible. Even after that though they won it back and couldn't keep their heads.

I would have thought it was drilled in to players at a young age to score tries as close to the posts as possible

Balls to that France have had 100 pts on them in 2 games hardly deserved winners. That hurt just like 2007 when they stole the championship with the last play

Borthwick will lose his job over these brain dead mistakes

Alternatively, two teams won four games and in the game been those teams one team obliterated the other. Of course they're deserved champs.

By way of explanation rather than excuse, I can understand a lock running an intercept try in from that far not wanting to risk anything other than running in a straight line.

One massive positive: Pollock giving it the ssssshhh and cupping his ears with two mins still to go presented the opportunity for him to look like a w**ker

Why the feck didn't the break away try dick run under the posts?!

That France Jersey is crap

To be fair France were brilliant bar Scotland game, England eventually showed up and Ireland won the triple crown..

Ireland bled a few new players so a decent championship
