Jings these English teams kinda just decide defence is optional at best don’t they.
The set piece especially line outs were horrendous. Also.

Andy good talking about the quality of the game. If you ignore that defence was clearly optional for both teams. Kinda explains why England struggle. None of their club teams know how to defend
If this was any other nation other than a Scottish side this would have far less traction as an opinion. “Know your place” essentially were never allowed to be anything other than submissive.
With all the Leinster tears. I would say pot kettle.
How many times has Irish players done far worse than ruffle someone’s hair I mean come on. They took Hogg out off the ball on the other side of a pitch cynically. They abuse officials regularly. Even off the pitch after a game. Come on
What was sweet about this victory was Leinster tried to be dirty as hell got away with a lot and still got humped. Sweet music to my ears.
Frickin loved it. He would’ve enjoyed that. In meatball we trust.
He clearly has been mentored by sexton is becoming the full embodiment of him. Bad looser. Moaning to teammates criticising them for his mistakes and diving and moaning to the ref.
Sexton benefited from the most amazing Ireland pack. Anyone could look good behind them
Well I’m sure his million pound fee for a couple of months will sooth him. To be fair as well he was their best player at time. But emphasize the at times. lol
lol. Brilliant. Of all the countries.
My HITR is still them playing sweet Caroline. Like WTF? A Neil diamond song. Like please why
Why is sweet Caroline a thing for Irish rugby. Like what ??? I’m so confused. And why do Ireland emotionally only get up for a game against scotland all the time. ?
It was a great performance. Culmination of week by week improving. I genuinely believe next year 2-3 wins would be likely. For wales (as a scot). I’m can see you even beating us in murryfield potentially.
Ummmm. What’s the definition of insanity from Einstein again ?
My thoughts exactly. “Hmmm that team that always ferociously competes the breakdown illegally. Or at least on the edge of we’re going to back offf ????”
Is this true ? If so how can Ireland of al countries do this. If Ireland win the six nations this year they have t on be the worst team to have won in years since the wales manny cards win
One good performance as usual against us
For the pod genuinely interested by our defensive tactics. Noticed from minute one we played differently to France. Not one tackler. Did not contest rucks and stood offf passively in defensive line.
What was the thinking behind this ? It was a clear tactic (bad one)
Dummy runners or obstruction. Many many times they have players in front of the ball carrier who passed tacking out a defender. And it’s never penalised. Same at the ruck. A couple times support player. Not Boyd to ball carriers clears out a Scottish player apart from the ruck. It’s insane.
We have gotten literately no 50/50 ref calls that half and no luck.
Also the scrum we’ve have been really unfairly penalised. First Irish try from the scrum penalty was Ireland backing off not taking the hit. Not us shoving early. We’re getting nothing from Pearce.
As a Scottish fan please stop this stop overly bigging us up and taking Ireland down. it will fuel the nonsense about arrogant Scot’s. Yes we beat France. Yes we played amazingly well. But Ireland are at home. Are still a good team and we’ve never beaten them in a long time in Ireland. So please
They weren’t bad we just dominated and didn’t let them play.
To build your game around kicking high balls and consistently be so bad at it it quite something.
Yes. Glasgow always knew. Everyone else just chanted duhan. Kyle steyn been so influential for Glasgow soo consistent. Always makes the right choice and always the consistent choice ina ny game decision. So stead reliable and understated. Also often breaks a tackle and makes yards quietly.
Hugh jones ? Kyle steyn ?
For a neutral. Amazing. Quality of rugby in the England game was ahem interesting but as a spectacle and emotional passion for Italy amazing.
Yes. Yes yes.
Agree. With the team we’ve got. It should never have been a game like that.
George horns passing accuracy and speed and speed at ruck also very very important t.
The refereeing was the most one sided at the breakdown I’ve ever seen. We get pinged for sealing off but a Welsh player backs out the ruck. Which is a typical thing most refs call out for not giving a going off your feet. There’s in from the side. Next ruck Welsh come in right angles. And nothin
I sort of agree and disagree. I think England played better against us and that’s the best wales have played especially at the breakdown in 2 years. So in summary I have no idea where anyone is apart from England are rubbish again yay!
Cherry proving why he’s in the pro d 2
Yeah after that hit he looks like a different player. Worried why no HIA.
