Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
Connacht were beyond woeful there. Hockeyed at home by a 14 man Lions.

Re: The Official and ONLY Ireland v Scotland Match thread
Shite from both Henshaw and Doris. Fell off 2 straight up tackles.

POM catching that Doris pass might be the most impressive thing he’s ever done.

Re: The Official and ONLY Ireland v Scotland Match thread
Mind boggling how Ireland have somehow not managed to score the last 20 minutes there.

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread

It's all about players getting on their feet and offering options to the ball carrier,...

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
They'll probably win the 6 Nations next weekend but the NZ loss at the RWC and the England defeat today are stains that won't be easy to erase. Went into both games as favourites and lost both. Yes, by a very tight margin but they didn't get the job done in either when they were expected to. Beat th...

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
Did Murray kick that last possession away a bit too quickly? Maybe they feared conceding the pen but think they could have taken another couple phases out of it.

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
Doris was always in the game I thought. Did a mountain of donkey work. Overshadowed by Earl as Earl scored a try and had a big line break that led to POMs yellow.

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
Set piece wobbles (again).
POM yellow card costly.
6-2 split caught them out.
Discipline terrible. Too many pens conceded.
Could win the championship next weekend but don’t think anyone will be overly fussed now.

Re: U20 6 Nations 2024
Ireland winning wouldn't be a huge surprise. We got by on a decent set piece and not a lot else against Scotland. Could barely string a few phases together. Big improvement needed here. Ireland are good but probably not quite as good as the last 2 U20 GS winning sides. Plus missing their best playe...

Probably a little stardust missing in the Irish back line without Hansen, Keenan and Ringrose. Especially the first two. Hansen will always do a couple of unexpected things each match and Keenan will pick a great line a couple of times every game and shoot through a gap. Felt like there was a lot of...

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
Tuilagi back for England and Lawrence not far away. Both will bring another level to England's attack we'll need to consider at Twickenham instead of Slade. With the size/power stakes I'd be inclined to continue with Henshaw at 13 for that game. I'm convinced that Tuilagi only comes back to play ag...

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
You’d imagine they should have too much for Wales but England away looks like a real challenge. England backs seem average enough but apparently their pack is very good (and very big).
