The Official Irish Rugby Thread

[Hank Scorpio]

just cant understand the need for Healy, O Mahoney and Earls on the bench!!

Kilcoyne the obvious choice for impact

Surely Coombes or Baird on the bench and either larmour or Zebo or even Frawley

why not give keenan a week off..we know he is the nailed on Full Back now..try Conway or Zebo there..you know in case keenan gets injured in a pool game in France...this is the attitude that gets us to the QF of another world cup with a number of players past their sell by date again (Healy, POM,Murray,Sexton,Earls) and some guys in the squad who have never started a six nations game or game against the southern hemisphere sides...we never fecking learn!

Farrell was always going to do this.

If Sexton was available he would have started this game too.

But ja know we beat England and New Zealand so persisting with a load of guys past their best is going to pay dividends going forward.

Irish rugby is a train wreck in slow motion. Creeping toward disaster in 2023.

Scotland lucky to beat Japan in the end. Horrendous discipline, if they do that next February they’ll be taken apart.

Decent game here in twickenham p, England leading 17 15 with over 20 minutes left. Steward the fullback has been a real find for them, imagine that … having tested options.

 

[nelly sham]

England win by a point, tad fortunate in the end, Kolisi got carded but Frans Steyn was lucky to not get a red just after.
Rassie is at home editing clips as we speak.

Brace gave England a penalty from the restart that was nonsensical, if it was done as fuck you to Rassie on behalf of Nic Berry then I’m all for it.

 

[nelly sham]

Another red card for a team playing against Wales.
The thing is, they’ve all been warranted but still that’s some run of luck.

France doing to the all blacks what Ireland couldn't in the first half so far.

 

[longbigandjuicy]

France are beginning to surrender

 

[nelly sham]

3 mins for NZ to score 12/14.

 

[How bad boy]

Puts the win last week into perspective, NZ are knackered

Certainly takes the shine off it alright.

I expect the AB's will be getting a new coach real soon
