Like Murrays vs Racing.feckwanker wrote:If Sexton has a meltdown off the tee again I'd like to see the kicking duties go to Murray straight away - those missed kicks could have been so costly.
If we score 4 tries and so do they but we win, I won't care.CM11 wrote:Think Barnes might actually favour us in this one. If he doesn't allow a contest, we'll control the game from 1-10 and Scotland's defence ain't as solid as Wales.
Can see this being high enough scoring though, given our defence is looking shaky. Maybe a similar game/scoreline as Wales (hopefully without the late drama!).

The missed kicks didn't cost us as much as people think because the first miss was actually a two point gain, not a 3 point loss.feckwanker wrote:If Sexton has a meltdown off the tee again I'd like to see the kicking duties go to Murray straight away - those missed kicks could have been so costly.

He's confused, you played Wales last week.feckwanker wrote:Very early to be going this hard.nardol wrote:Is this not slightly unfair? A country (and a province) vs a provincial backwater of the UK?
If England don't get a winning bonus yes.Bullettyme wrote:I think we'll win this, home advantage and away wins are really looking rare. Don't know if we will win with a BP, but it would be amazing if we did. That would be the tournament clinched then, wouldn't it?
Yes and you guys Barlinnie gaped England, which makes you 20 point favourites.Lorthern Nights wrote:He's confused, you played Wales last week.feckwanker wrote:Very early to be going this hard.nardol wrote:Is this not slightly unfair? A country (and a province) vs a provincial backwater of the UK?
Ferg on the bench in case Johnny has the yips.feckwanker wrote:If Sexton has a meltdown off the tee again I'd like to see the kicking duties go to Murray straight away - those missed kicks could have been so costly.
In work currently but will add one later.Nolanator wrote:Ferg on the bench in case Johnny has the yips.feckwanker wrote:If Sexton has a meltdown off the tee again I'd like to see the kicking duties go to Murray straight away - those missed kicks could have been so costly.
Where's the rule 1 portion of the OP?
I'm sure there's probably some permutations to go through, if England win vs France and we beat Scotland (both without BPs), then denying England a BP win in Twickenham will have us take the tournament too?iarmhiman wrote:If England don't get a winning bonus yes.Bullettyme wrote:I think we'll win this, home advantage and away wins are really looking rare.

Correct me if I'm wrong.... but are the passports not identical between the Welsh and yourself?Lorthern Nights wrote:He's confused, you played Wales last week.feckwanker wrote:Very early to be going this hard.nardol wrote:Is this not slightly unfair?

No they can have theirs in Welsh if they so wish.nardol wrote:Correct me if I'm wrong.... but are the passports not identical between the Welsh and yourself?Lorthern Nights wrote:He's confused, you played Wales last week.feckwanker wrote:Very early to be going this hard.nardol wrote:Is this not slightly unfair?

Yup, and touchline conversions are always 50/50. The 2 really bad ones were the first half one from in front of the posts, and the tap-and-go in the 2nd half.CM11 wrote:The missed kicks didn't cost us as much as people think because the first miss was actually a two point gain, not a 3 point loss.feckwanker wrote:If Sexton has a meltdown off the tee again I'd like to see the kicking duties go to Murray straight away - those missed kicks could have been so costly.
Feck that.

Hopefully France pull off some sort of miracle in 12 days time and save us the tension

Tbh I could see you dicking us and then going to Rome and losing.

I fear you'll find we won't be as monumentally stupid as England were and we'll actually protect our ball in attack.slick wrote:Ireland are a much better team than England, but being away from home notwithstanding, I think we are even better set up to compete in this game than against England.
We defended the rucks/mauls really well on Saturday and lets be honest, that's 90% of Irelands game, plus Ireland's defence out wide is a little suspect. I don't expect a win but I think it will be pretty close.
But, that stadium....

We've been through enough pain Lenny, we are overdue some serious success.
Do us a favour and bend over like i remember the lassies of Dublin doing back in the day

I've been on the pints at 10am for the last two matches - great fun on the day, like a living hell the next.rageagainstthemachine wrote:These 2.15 kickoffs are turning me into an alco.
