Re: The Official and ONLY England v Ireland Match Thread
McCarthy has a tendency to chase the big hits which leaves him tackling air/non-ball-carrying oppo far too often. He can be maddeningly ineffective at times. He's been anonymous today Whatever else you think, he hasn’t been anonymous. He might be over chasing some times, but he’s definitely putting...

Re: The Official and ONLY England v Ireland Match Thread
Comfortably the better 10 on the field so far. He’s had tougher kicks than Crowley but kept his team on the front foot.

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
Oh I'd take a 1 point win right now. Fully expect England to go full shithouse today. But it would still be embarrassing to lose to this version of England. Embarrassing to lose if they play how they did against Argentina, or Scotland. But there’s a SA-semi-final-esque performance of bloody-minded ...

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
The kick wasn’t a straightforward angle, we had been in the NZ 22 for a while, and just been held up over the line to get the penalty (think it was Whitelock for collapsing?) We had them on the ropes. The last thing they would have wanted is to face another maul. We’ll never know, and like I said, i...

Delighted to hear Haley played well, saw his try on the highlights and he took it sweetly.

Re: URCR10 Leinster vs Benneton
Individually, there’s no player on the Leinster team that you’d be worried about seeing in a Euro 23*. But collectively, holy moly, it’s a dropoff from the first choice side.
*I know nothing about the rookie fullback and am having faith in the coaching staff’s assessment of his ability.
