A congrats thread hater, I see. So if it bothers you don’t post on it. If you don’t like it, then ….JM2K6 wrote: Sat Feb 05, 2022 7:37 pm Pfff, we have a thread for the match already. But yes, congratulations.
I'm not too sure about that. I'd agree they would lose regardless: that's what the form book says. But this Ire style is all about keeping possession and grinding down the oppos. Even a very poor Welsh side with Adams having a horror show out of position made them work for it. I thought both Sco and Eng defended very well yesterday and I don't see Ire waltzing home against either.Openside wrote: Sun Feb 06, 2022 8:52 am Always happy with a win but until the final whistle I was expecting the normal snatch defeat from the jaws of victory performance
Nothing to get too excited about both sides were pretty shite and would’ve got done prison stylie sans lube by Ireland playing like that…
Any comments on how rubbish Finn was, Torq? Kicking away good possession and being bailed out by IrnDu McMerwe and LCD surely doesn't make him an international class player in your eyes now?Torquemada 1420 wrote: Sun Feb 06, 2022 10:22 amI'm not too sure about that.

Our problem, as we all know, is that we don’t have an answer to teams who dominate us physically, which basically means Ireland and SA. Who is it we were given in the RWC groups again?

Agree with your point above btw. Wales were honking yesterday and there was a lot of huffing and puffing from Ireland to rack up a decent score. Their constant wraparound play in attack also looks like something a decent defense coach like Steve Tandy could find an answer for. But I'd still back Ireland to beat Scotland in Dublin.
Errr. Yes. ironically: I agreed he'd had one of his best games for Sco! He followed the game plan and stuck to the tactical kicking and won that battle with Smith. Not going to blame the player for following the coach's instructions which were clearly to keep Eng pinned as deep as possible.clydecloggie wrote: Sun Feb 06, 2022 10:44 amAny comments on how rubbish Finn was, Torq?
