Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread

No citing for Genge. :thumbdown: Deliberately elbowing a prone player in the head while you pin him is grand, accidental head contact with a guy bent double is not. Great. I am struggling to understand WTAF is the reasoning behind no citing for this. Shameful horseshit. As much as Genge is a fat sh...

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread

Connors out is a massive loss for a game against England. His tackling was exactly what we needed. Otherwise it's a good side. I'm happy Stockdale is in and not putting OMahony straight back in was the right call. Stander is better at 6 and aside from the halfbacks, we have decent impact to come of...

We'd an attack off a scrum where the ball just got shovelled to Lowe who was bundled into touch. Not a single player inside him did anything to draw a man or create space. Was just awful.

Re: France are just not that good

Their backline and their backrow to some extent definitely are THAT good. It's their front five which clearly isn't world class in my opinion (if you except the hooker position), which is quite ironic for a country longly reknown for their scrum. This. Why can a nation the size of France never seem...
