Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread

What a pile of shite. We are going to get reemed come ruck time. Toner is a tryer, but he does not get anywhere near low enough or hit hard enough. Dropping Marshall has honestly pissed me off so much. How do players get test experience then? Fucks sakes. Him being the only player to get it in the n...

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread

BOD has a 2 on 1, but he's already committed himself to 1 of the 2, so somebody's free if Cooper passes outside. You can see that Marshall is a step or 2 behind Madigan and BOD, in a reverse banana. You normally expect the curve of the middle 3 to be outwards towards the attack, not inwards, toward...

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread

Madigan obviously didn't do well. But the picture makes it clear he was covering 2 men. And there's a f**king huge gap to his right, what is going on there? If Marshall makes that tackle and Cooper gets the ball away then BOD has a 2 on 1 as well. I mean it's not totally clear cut either way. In my...

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread

A tale of two defences for me. We were so soft in our line speed (what line speed?) compared to the Ozzies who gave us absolutely no time on the ball whatsoever. This resulted in either panicy kicks, rushed passes, getting turned over or giving away penalties for holding on. On the flip side, Cooper...

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread

I really thought both 10s had good games. PJ is a very tidy player. 10 is a tough spot on the pitch but I'm delighted ulster have him. Excellent in defence. I think we need to concentrate on the positive aspects of our young Irish players.

Won't get to see it again but it was a cracking game.

There's a development of nondetached houses when you're coming onto the M1 from Swords Airside direction. There must be about 60 houses in a line without a bit of space between them.
