He missed a simple penalty in the last few minutes.

Sorry I agree he is sh*t.....throw him on scrap heap.....

awec

I can't believe nobody has mentioned the moment when Devin Toner tried to dive on a loose ball.

Was like a baby giraffe trying to lie down for the first time. :pac:

Yeah, that's what I said. :rolleyes:

He's a great talent. Not a good kicker though. That might change but early signs aren't good. Would be a big turnaround for him to become a test level kicker.

ROG, Madigan etc. showed far more off the tee at a young age than Carbery has done.

How? please explain?

"Go and grab a gatorade" says the interviewer of the US scrum half at half time.

That is worse than BOD supping on his bottle.

Yeah thought he was utterly anonymous for most of the first 40.

Great dissolving maul from Ireland.

Nearly 4 mins for that score. They're getting complacent. ;-)

Good man Jake

Nice foot work and pick up from Conan

Are you his dad or what?

Those lads actually made a decent number of kicks. Madigan was a long distance kicker when he came on the scene. By his second season he was a solid kicker around 70%. ROG was patchy but at a similar leveL. Carbery was 50% this season before tonight.

THIS US EAGLES MATCH BROUGH TO YOU BY EXTREME WALRUS JUICE

*ride the walrus*

DDC1990

Who is the co-com?

His love of Conan is a little nausiating.

He's been good but relax man!

Ectoplasm

Ah jesus

awec

What is the point in this match. Seriously.

Sanjuro

Please say 'Conan the Barbarian' before the end of the game, US commentators.

Poor Joey, won't like that!

laugh

JAYSUS JOEY.

Diabhal Beag

Carberry kicked it into his bawsack nearly ffs. Shocking kicks.

DDC1990

Ireland 36-14 Joey Carbury

Jump_In_Jack

Back 3 were very exciting in first half, each of them were outstanding.
Marmion has been very energetic.
Ireland taking advantage of the dry conditions and poor defence to throw loads of offloads and keep the tempo high in possession.
Great running rugby, pleasure to watch them cut loose.
Scrums seem to be going Ireland's way.
Hope the subs come in and add to the scoreboard.
Carbery should be dropped for a season or two.

ScrubsfanChris

Ireland - 36
Joey Carbery - 14







:P

laugh

Joey had a few quid on the spread.

MJohnston

I'd say Joe will be paying more attention to errors than positives after this game, and Joey has made a couple of doozies

awec

Carbery just trying to keep it interesting. Good on him.

DDC1990

Scannell to 10
Ringrose to 12
Earls to 13
Zebo for Carbury and onto the wing.

ScrubsfanChris

Jackson gonna rock up to training already wearing the 10 shirt me thinks.

The post-match review of this game in the team room is just going to be Joe Schmidt roasting Carberry for 80 minutes.

US RFU vote for 2023. Same as the All Blacks game in Chicago.

All they're learning is how to get pumped in style.

Does Scannell play 10?

Two very different USA experiences for Joey Carbery only 7 months apart.

Who limped off there? And wrf with ads?

It's hard to imagine today going worse for Carbery

Against USA, Niall could give it a go too!

He might slip in the shower.

The USA shorts look a little tight around the package.

Tigerandahalf

I notice a lot of players using contact lenses. I would have thought a lot would get laser.

Ectoplasm

Is it just me or are Ireland being reffed to the letter of the law and US being given leeway?

I know we are streets ahead but I don't see how they learn from it if they're not getting called on what they're doing wrong.

We're forever complaining on here that the lower tier nations don't get to play enough against higher tiers. Games like this need to happen more often.
