Ireland v Scotland 6N 5pm

Sherifu

Anthem time. Come on Ireland!

deemy

and john hayes is almost crying again. big woos

Sherifu

First line out lost

athtrasna

FFS is Murphy playing full back or Kearney? Murphy featuring in our few seconds of attack but Kearney hoovering up the ball at the back!

Camera work is dire!!

That try welcome but totally against the run of play. How long before Scotland get one back - 3 mins?

Sherifu

Well after a shaky start, that's much better from Ireland, great ball retention and hard yards let Wallace in under the post. 7-0

yeraulone

theres another try from kearney

athtrasna

Okay not a try but a score all the same. Within 60 seconds. Why do we ALWAYS gift the other team a score after we score.

Miracle, another try. O'Driscoll actually running - miracles do happen!

davyjose

THAT's the Ireland I know

Great pass by BOD - nice catch from Murphy

Sherifu

Ffs Murphy, chip 'n chase!! Instead he tries to pass to Hayes

Jim

Amazing throw on the second try.

athtrasna

O'Driscoll's best move of the 6 nations so far - vintage stuff!

Was Hayes his fault he should know by know that rugby involves catching the ball and thats why he ll never be recognised as a great prop because he is has no other aspect to his game then scrummaging

athtrasna

referee showing his inexperience, keeps getting in the way!

yeraulone

ireland off the hook

athtrasna

Thank you Nathan Hines - gets us out of danger!

athtrasna

Any chance EOS will bring on Best at half time - I wish!!

yeraulone

another ireland try by horan for o'gara cross kick

missed conversion

19 - 6

BOHSBOHS

i see marcus horan has replaced bowe on the wing!

Sherifu

Very nice cross field kick, precision. 19-6

athtrasna

Hallelujah - bloody Jackman, bloody useless. Why oh why will they put him back on?

The1337_Stephen

Nearly another try there, Ireland are really picking up,

And here comes BEST!!!!

GTFO Jackman

Edit: only a blood sub, how sh*t

athtrasna

Please let him stay off - the lineout so much better already!

davyjose

Jesus lads, he missed a few line-outs in the half - give him a break. Best is hardly the "best" himself.

The1337_Stephen

His lineout was clearly alot better then any of Jackmans there, i never rated Jackman well anyway, Best is just.... better in my opinion

Diamondmaker

whay hay, managed to get a live stream, watching this in Boxers and wife beater from my baclony.

Worth staying up for!

Murphy in he thick of things and Bests cameo nails his line out, Jack is looking poor with the throws.

vote4pedro

Oh God, since when have they started playing diddly Irish trad music whenever we kick a penalty. Pretty sure there was none of it at the Italy game?

Ruu_Old

ROG popped another over, 22-6.

athtrasna

Caught napping there! Where's the fb?

His all-round play, or just his line-out. Because to be honest, apart from hardly having played this last few months, Best is crap anyway

Sherifu

Wtf happened there? Webster.... oh noes!

The1337_Stephen

Scotland gifted a try, 22-13

Edit: Jackmans lineouts are abyssmal, i've been saying it for awhile, Ireland can handle themselves in open play but need someone like best who can throw a good lineout, regardless of his open play

PAUL O' CONNELL ON FOR MICK O' DRISCOLL

athtrasna

Has EOS finally changed his substitution policy? O'Connell welcome back!

Yay, Best on for rest of game!

The1337_Stephen

Difference is, he's missed one, not like 7 :P

Jim

I notice all the Paddy Power ads are gone heh.

davyjose

Wonderful - we're still giving away line-outs, only now we've got Best on the field :rolleyes:

The1337_Stephen

Difference is Best has missed one, not like 7 :P

O' Gara is FU*KING PERFECTION 27-13

Like 7, or 7?

Ruu_Old

Beautiful movements. 29-13

Jim

**** me.

Where did we learn to pass like that?

Diamondmaker

what a pass Murfi !! AND ROG, damn this grainy lil screen ! god finish

Sherifu

Nice one! Tomie Bowe! What a pass from O'Gara. 29-13

davyjose

If Murphy doesn't start against Wales, then something is wrong.

It would be a crime, that debate is over. Superb, and all the stand out players the new blood. Finally we may have turned a corner....

His attacking today is spot on but his defensive play seriously lacking. With Bowe and Kearney both having stormers, where does Murphy fit in? He's not defending enough to play FB IMO

Like 7, not sure of exact number, Best threw another immaculate one there a sec ago, hes better with lineouts

Ireland 29-13 (Boew Try)

O'Gara's pass was text book stuff! Bowe finally making his presence felt on the pitch

Nought text book aout a pass like that, bit of flair !:cool:

athtrasna

double post - oops

Stev_o

Thats just pure class class from Murphy and O'Gara just amazing

He's directly responsible for 2 of the tries IMO. I don't think you can single him out defensively - what have Scotland done bar 1 try?

The1337_Stephen

Murphys catches from Garry Owens are excellent, he really should start against wales

O'Driscoll off, Heaslip off, Reddan off, Stringer on, Easterby on, Horgan on

athtrasna

Is Heaslip injured? No other reason I can think of for bringing the pensioner on!

Shaggy back...this will be interesting!
