Re: The Official and ONLY Ireland v Scotland Match thread

Thought that was Furlongs best game in ages, probably looking over his shoulder at Bealham. I thought all the props were good -Porter played well and the scrum was largely on top. Back five of the pack were a lot more inconsistent. Doris and McCarthy were brilliant against France but haven't been g...

Re: The Official and ONLY Ireland v Scotland Match thread

Please return to GAA or ‘soccer’ - you bandwaggoners are a curse on decent Irish rugby fans. We were so dominant. Score doesn't reflect the dominance. The Scots fans were fantastic though See comment above bandwaggoner. We were also ‘so dominant’ over Wales and Italy for the majority of each match....

Been a bandwagoner since the 90s, thank you very much.

There isn't a chance I'm going to look at that right now but I'll say two things, we weren't risking anything in terms of getting too close to the touchline and I think the last 10-15 phases we were holding out for a penalty so not really looking for a wide break.
