What channel is he commentating on?

Some lovely footwork from Carbery - he's having a great game.

LuckyGent88

That was brilliant from Carberry. Impressed with Herring so far.

He's locked in a closet in The RTE studios shouting commentary to himself.

Management called it right. This looks like a pointless exercise, no need to start the firsts.

Yeaaaah

He's got a better chance than TOH !

As I said the main point is to give an alternative to Rob

vienne86

That was great from Fiji - careless by Ireland. What's bothering Ruddock?

He's asking questions of the lamp.

Conway and Sweetnam conspired there to give Fidji a free run through, Kearney only one to nail his man.

We look a bit all over the place at times imo.

The commentary on rte is terrible

MadYaker

missed tackles

Wegians89

That wasn't very good tbh

Conway is doing just fine. Alternative found.

Bridge93

9 Fijians playing in Top14 and Prem today. Not including Yato who is injured at a Clermont. More will play tomorrow. Hard to get a team ethic and some consistency when players are in and out so much.

MadYaker

Id favour us to pull away in the second half, their fitness is hardly as good?

Yeah hope Joe agrees. The missed tackle won't help. Rob would have missed it too though...

duskyjoe

Definitely a 2nd fiddle team compared to first selection. Joe will implode with them how they are getting sliced open in defense. Carbery got the wind taken out of him with her tackle but he’s back in the groove. Marmion a liability. Kearney a man I’ve dissed many a time is showing up big time and good on him

Bridge93

Carbery our stand out so far

Playing wide a bit too quickly i think. Its pretty much as you should expect this game to be though. Still think we will hit 40-50 points

AdamD

Herring, McCloskey, Carberry and Conway looking good.

Marmion struggling a little bit but that's somewhat tied up in our approach to the breakdown.

As good as Dave has looked ball in hand and positionally, his most important contribution has been his folding of a couple of lads.

Expect a big second half, would like to see as many of these guys left on to open them up, we know what the bench is capable of.

I'll tell you right now whats going to happen. Fidji's only try in the second half will be a break away try probably from an intercept.

Ireland will score within the first 5 minutes of the second half and then we'll get at least two more set piece tries after that.

We'll bring on some of the bench from 65mins and get 1 more absolute scorcher ending the game 6 -7 tries to 2.

You can thank me tomorrow. Have fun at the party!

Likewise, but I'm holding on until the last minute.

You left out "Dave Kearney scores again and makes 2 other tries, but is ridiculed on here. Luke McGrath comes on, does nothing special but is lauded as being a huge improvement on Marmion. Ireland win by 27 but TOH would have made the difference."

Am I doing it right?

Super work from Sweetnam there

Sorry Marmion haters. He's actually a very good rugby player.

thomond2006

Oh Dave.

connemara man

Shut the forum down now!!??

tototoe

Lol, go dave k

Narcissus

oh dear oh dear

vienne86

Dave......you've just blown.

Terrible try to give away.

Classic Daverage

A-Train

I lauded him earlier but that was poor from Kearney. Ireland need to wake up here or they are in trouble

Everdene

Agh game on now...

Ok well I got that bit right but now Fidji can't score again for the rest of the game and Ireland really need to score in the next 2 minutes or so.

chatticusfinch

That was a nice 25 minutes where Dave was super. Now a return to our regularly scheduled programming

Dave_The_Sheep

... When he's not scoring he's creating tries!

LuckyGent88

Read a mile away. Poor from DK. In a real game now.

connachta

Thank you Dave
Draw for now

vienne86

Scores level. That's careless by Ireland - not very professional. Joe will be hopping.

Sure it started an hour ago

Never have so many people been so happy about a try scored against Ireland. Such is the hate for the Kearney's.

With fans like these!

dublinman1990

Oooh. What an unfortunate start for Ireland with that Fiji try.

Now we're level with Fiji. Come on Ireland. In terms of the score beat them & beat them clinically.
