Lineouts and restarts have been piss poor

Yep that's exactly what's happening. Not

This reminds me of the Robbie Keane lead team in Paris in the World Cup Qualifier.

Players took it on themselves to take ownership, despite the coach's instructions.

Scotland on attack making me nervous...

Can only go back 2 phases for match official ? Rubbish

Dunno where they pulled that from. I've seen instances where a ref has gone back 10 or 11 phases to a forward pass in the midfield to disallow a try.

Both teams look like they'll score every time they run

POC and Best on the choke again!!

Sexton has a habit of nailing passes at close runners. Does it nearly every game.

Rubbish? I think they're actually right. Two rucks or mauls, I think it is.

You have serious issues or either know nothing about rugby

Embarrassing post

d-gal

That was thick by Sexton, absolute brainfart of a pass

UnitedWeStand

Uh when the hell did Scotland become such a threat in attack. I don't like it one bit seeing Bennett and Hogg running at Paulie.

WoollyRedHat

Ha who's in charge of the music? Time to Pretend by MGMT.

For a team renowned for being so well drilled under Schmidt, its surprising to consistently see it, tbh.

Sexton tries to blame Henshaw for not catching a ball fired at his face.

Good man...what were Joe's instructions for today?

dublinman1990

We need at least 11 points to retain the title. With Scotland's play does that seem doable?

With Ireland's choke tackle; that could be a gift to Ireland as long as they don't gift it back to Scotland.

Principal Skinner

How much better is seanie than POm. POMS big thing is turnovers and sob is even better than him at that. Really thinks o'mahony goes missing in the big games

Mahatma Geansai

Kearney fluffs the kick.

For someone who spends so much time spouting crap comparisons about football how come you've never commented on the soccer forum?

He's used to the ball sticking in D'Arcy's beard :pac:

How long more does the horrible Murray stay on,so so slow at starting attacks.

thelad95

Hogg is a complete clown. He knew that was a knock on. Total showmanship.

its_phil

How was that not offside by Hogg?!

It is a pity Rudduck is out as he offers much more than POM I think

I'll expect Reddan to come on for the last 30 minutes.

EoghanIRL

At least they caught the forward pass this time

Mahatma Geansai

Poor by Sexton to miss touch. He's had a few too many errors again today.

UnitedWeStand

We need possession f***.

A dreadfully quiet year for POM alright.

Murray is quality and a crucial tackle there.

Murray's direction of the pack has been superb so far.

Still getting the points though and his tackles are strong.

vienne86

Some very careless defence.

19543261

Everything clicking for Scotland in the final game. Ugh

CurryFlavoured

Brilliant kick by Finn. I'll take a 10 pt lead after 40.

Principal Skinner

Hope reddan comes on. He's much better at this game then Murray who struggles with the pace

"There was a foot up" - Phillip Matthews.

You mean the hooker's? ffs

vienne86

Oh God don't get injured now!

Dangerous Man

Jesus we have to hold onto the feckin' ball...

crazygeryy

Great start but that's all. Second half needs to be way better.

donfers

Kearney having a nightmare first half

Utopia Parkway

Kearney has been poor in the 1st half. Seems jittery.

What? It was an excellent kick pinned them right back.

Tox56

We've let Scotland into this game when we shouldn't have, we could be up by a lot more

Something has to be done about the lineout, we're not competing enough and it's a shambles offensively

leakyboots

Kearney is woeful. Get him off ffs

Could possibly use Reddan's quicker passing off the base. He was so effective last week

We have the perfect combination at scrum half, the control of murray up to a point and then Reddan to speed things up when defences tire

bilston

Well that was fun!

Take a well earned rest lads and go again.

Shake of the head from Schmidt there
