Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread

I’ve no interest in the championship next week now. Even if we do win it, it’s tarnished by the fact we lost to England, who will take huge confidence from beating the supposedly “best team in the world”. What a spoilt brat I’m guessing you are mid 30s and have no recollection of the 90s Because if...

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread

Also, we’ve a huge issue at Loose Head. Porter is a liability in the scrum and we don’t seem to have anyone coming through. Furlong also a liability in the scrum. This loss hopefully will bring everybody back down to reality that we are an average team when our attack is shut down, which all teams w...

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread

I just can’t get over how poor some of our players are yet they’re still getting picked. Surely this is Murray’s last 6N. He is so passed it. POM the same. So frustrating.

SA beat NZ in Twickenham with Libbok at 10. He’s a great player, just not the best goal kicker.

What’s the SA penalty count like? I’m imagining we’ll kick to the corner unless it’s an easy 3 pointer and try and force them into ill discipline while also getting all of their 15 forwards making huge amount of tackles?? Who knows. I’m nervous.
