Rugby World Cup 2011

What a dipshit this ref is. That is 7 points gone. The biggest disgrace of the world cupp.

That was a try. Bowe juggled it, never a knock-on. Why didn't he go to the TMO?

Italians clever. Running offside to stop Murray kicking then running back onside. Murray then distracted and makes a mistake.

Cian Healy really in the wars, gouged and then punched by Bergamasco.

Heaslip doing some great defensive work along with the flankers. Our scrum is a serious operation these days if it can beat up that Italian front row. Only for a dopey ref and a couple of handling errors we would be well ahead.

Lads isthere much difference in playing loose head and tight head in the front row? Hear them mention it there with italy but wouldnt know the impact it has. Is it technique in the scrum that would be the main difference?

[haze]

Nerve wrecking stuff... An early try in second half please

[thewobbler]

O Callaghan needs to come off. Italy are going to wind up even more in the 2nd half and we don't need Donnacha the one man penalty count, reacting to them.

It was initially a forward pass before the juggling

[Capt Pat]

Rubbish O Se that was a deliberate gouge. He forced his hand into Healys face. We got done by the ref in that half. We could be 16 points up.

[thewobbler]

A loose head pushes up against one head, a tight head burrows down against two heads. Two different techniques, and tight heads need to be able to accept more pressure on their neck than a loose head.

(this is my interpretation, I'm happy to be put in place!)

We don't need to engage mauls do we? We need to stop mauling.

good man. Thought it was something like that.

Em he hasn't conceded any yet.

Should we take off those who have? Like O'Connell & Healy?

[muppet]

We are throwing it left and right a lot without sucking them in as we usually do. Must be a tactical thing.
