I think last night proved the worth of the ail. Quinlan played a fair amount for con under pressure situations last year and the bug game experience showed last night.

No doubt about that. A great kick and the exciting finish should give them confidence going forward.

Jeremy Loughman's been ruled out of the world cup with a broken nose.
Shame, a dynamic prop that I was looking forward to watching.

That means 18 year old Andrew Porter will become first choice LH. Liam O'Connor comes in as cover. Don't know much about O'Connor, but hopefully he's a strong scrummager.

Jesus that's a blow...one of the picks of this year's team I would say.

Is Michael Lagan injured or out of favour?

Watched it last night on fast forward. I was impressed by Carberry at 10

Particularly by his speed...

Any idea if this is being broadcast in the US?

According to WR, NBC Universal is broadcasting it.

Somehow didn't even know this game was on today or that Byrne was injured. I rate Byrne immensely as do most, but it must be tough without him even if Carberry is also a good player.


Good to get the win even if it sounds like we were less than convincing.

well they lost 17-10 just a couple of months ago, i certainly wouldnt be so sure.

Hagz

Scotland have a strong pack and they looked to have an imposing maul game against New Zealand. One of their highest rated players is Zander Fagerson at prop, who's already played several games for the Glasgow Warriors. Given that the pack has been the letting down of this side, this should be a very difficult match up for Ireland.

typhoony

unfortunately the scots are strong in the areas where we are weak, keep away from any set piece would be my advice.

wp_rathead

Our scrum always seems to improve whenever O'Donnell comes on

wp_rathead

strong start by the Scots - big scrum now

Squidgy Black

Destroyed in our own scrum there, haven't contested in the first two lineouts, the set piece is going to let us down big time today.

George Hook

Thank goodness.

wp_rathead

great break by Ringross - great finish by Dardiss

molloyjh

Pure class from Ringrose. They don't need much. Which is a good thing because the pack isn't exactly providing a platform....

molloyjh

Yellow surely?

Swan Curry

Has to be a yellow, he knew what he was doing

welp,never mind

molloyjh

Scotland are fairly poor. A lot of unforced errors already. We'd be in serious trouble against quality opposition.

George Hook

I take it there will be a water break every 20mins?

Seems sensible glad they're doing it.

Utopia Parkway

Some talented individuals in this Ireland squad but the pack is a bit powder puff to say the least. Hard to shine without a good platform.

Carberry, Arnold, Ringrose and Fitzgerald all impressing so far anyway.

George Hook

Excellent kick.

Swan Curry

That Scottish 8 has terrible hands, they should aim a few high balls at him

He's under pressure now so that would definitely be a tactic.
He's too keen to make yards.


This Porter lad has a haircut straight out of the Cian Healy school of prop forward shít haircuts.

molloyjh

Thought that was a harsh call. Should be a Scottish line-out.

RobbieRuns

Ringrose is the standout. I think some others are ok but Scotland are poor, we should win this easily.

George Hook

Great pressure try. Well done lads.

molloyjh

Good try from Oliver there. Ireland look by far the more dangerous side once they do get some possession.

Bridge93

Scotland not at the races at all today. Golden opportunity for a bonus point.

molloyjh

His hair isn't helping, but Porter is starting to annoy me now.

George Hook

hmm not taking the points. Hope we punish them for that.

typhoony

mccarthy should have either kicked or taken into contact instead of a hospital pass, luckily from the penalty the scots knock on again

molloyjh

Fancy feet from Dardis there.

molloyjh

What was that penalty for?

wp_rathead

greeeeeat tackle by Ringrose
Like a young Robbie Henshaw :pac:

molloyjh

Porter! :rolleyes:

George Hook

awk jesus.. wanted a try to finish the half. But really good so far.

molloyjh

Another Scottish knock on. They've been really poor today.

And now we're winning scrum penalties too! Could be a long 40 for the Scots.

molloyjh

And a sloppy take from the restart with another Irish offside just hands then back 3. Frustrating.
