Cheers lads.

I think you'll do some damage in this 6N with a couple of tweaks and next week isna good chance to iron a few things out.

Were just about the better side and took their chances well. Had maintained a good level of dignity hosting my girlfriend’s Glaswegian Dad, his whole family facetime was a prompt to go and chop vegetables for a bit.
Hope you all had a good one

Enjoy the sweet sweet victory fellow boredies (coming from a neutral-ish).

A congrats thread hater, I see. So if it bothers you don’t post on it. If you don’t like it, then ….

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…

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.

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?

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.

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? Oh.

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.
