So that was it! I was watching glimpses on my phone and wondering why the teams were playing the other way.Uncle fester wrote: Sat Mar 15, 2025 2:37 pm Can't believe they flashed up "TRY" for Ireland touching the ball down in their own in goal.

It was a bit Exocet'y. Maybe WR need to think about breakdown entry.

Another injury, it's all a but suspicious
If not really going anywhere immediately it helps speed the game up, methinks. Stops a team from holding it in and grinding out penalties. Cough SA.

There is a parallel universe where Italy are the most unbeatable team in world rugby as all their miracle passes go to hand and stick.

You'll get lynched on PR for pointing this out but Ringrose misses way too many tackles.

Usual 60 minute mark for Italy to run out of fitness?
Probably with all these injuries early on

McCarthy has an Italian cousin it seems
A bit of stupidity first though.

Italy have played so well and Lamaro has put in one of the stupidest pieces of play from a non English player I have ever seen
Good game
Good game

They've fallen off quite badly in most second halves so far.Blackmac wrote: Sat Mar 15, 2025 3:05 pm Ireland a bit rattled but Italian injuries and stupidity will settle the result quite comfortably for them.
So hopefully more of the same here so.

Ah it was a very awkward pass to catch.salanya wrote: Sat Mar 15, 2025 3:28 pm Ireland poor today - really flat.
Impressed how Ryan didn't manage to score there.

Be nice to score a try that isn't from a maul.
