Personally couldn't care less but if he's trying to change perception about himself, he's going about it the wrong way.

I agree. I like zebo but he needs to stop drawing attention to himself or people will use it to beat him with. Hope he goes well today...this could be tailor made for him.

To be honest i couldn't give a crap what zebo does off the pitch, in photos etc as long as hes on the ball and up to scratch on the field. Everyone has personalities which they should not be expected to temper just because someone else doesn't like it.

Anybody in Dubai watching this?

Sister only has iPad and wants to watch game, are there any national/middle eastern broadcasters which have free app akin to RTE for watching live sport?

VPNs etc in Dubai difficult to use

MattD

Any good radio coverage for this?

Looking forward to seeing how our back up players perform especially the front row.
Pretty big test for them and hope we can at least get parity in the scrum.
Expect us to be a bit scattered at the start with all the changes but quickly get into our stride and win comfortably by 20 points plus.

Between this and the photo it's pretty clear what's going on.


It's Heaslips fault.

What a box kick, get Madigan at 9

Why is an Irish ref allowed officiate?

He's affiliated with the RFU, refs AP matches.

Nice play from Georgia there. We were stretched a little

iRB see him as English as he refs through the RFU, still bloody strange though.

Ughhh...

Scrums not going great. Georgia have started well

The Georgian tight head binds onto killers spine! Very strange!

I agree but if he does draw attention to himself then some people will jump on that.

Those boots on Madigan should be a droppable offence

Kanrith

G'wan Madigan.

leakyboots

Dave Foley carrying and doing the basics very well so far

leakyboots

Gwan Killer!

Kiwi_knock

Great run by Kilcoyne

Molester Stallone II

Killer showing the wingers how to beat a man

Tox56

Was that skip pass Diack or Ryan? A 10 would have been proud of that

Spudmonkey

He's faster than I thought.

LuckyGent88

Fullback must have been a bit scared seeing kilcoyne flying at him

Ryan, I think.

UnitedWeStand

Kilcoyne faster than D'Arcy

Looked like Ryan, great pass.

Good awareness from Reddan, good break by killer.

d-gal

Brilliant by killer, very poor by d'arcy

leakyboots

Yeah was Ryan, gorgeous pass off his left. Thought D'Arcy looked hesitant

shuffol

D'arcy would surely have made the line if he put his foot down, was very hesitant.

Foley showing up well.

ambid

A prop at full speed is one of the most glorious sights in rugby!

razorblunt

Can we have Ryan and Diack wearing different colour head tape? Please and thanks.

sydthebeat

Strauss got some fingers in his face there

Piliger

I can't stand us always choosing to kick penalties instead of driving ahead with a kick to the corner. We are telling Georgia we are nervous and need the points.

He'll sleep well tonight after that excursion.

No were not. It's called being intelligent and respectful before kicking to the corner. Ask SA last week or Ireland 07 if you're not sure. Kick your pens, build a lead, then exploit them as the game goes on.

Aidric

Nice couple of offloads there.

kevohmsford

Decent defence from Georgia.

Kiwi_knock

Good break out, just not clinical enough in the 22 though.

leakyboots

Reddan having a great game so far.

LuckyGent88

Nice break out of our 22 at the start.
Pity Zebo got isolated after doing very well iniatilly to avoid the tackle

Zzippy

Madigan with a lovely line break

Thanos

Classic break by Madigan....

ambid

Madigan is pretty good at the sidestep and sprint... but he's no Dave Kilcoyne!

Kiwi_knock

Lovely by Madigan. Shouldn't have kicked the ball
