Another try before Scotland score again and I'd be ok with him coming off.

Provided we are passed the 50 minute mark then yeah possibly.

But I expect Scotland will come out on fire in the second half. But then the same thing happened in the first half.

Aki injury is a concern. Without Henshaw, we'll be tight at center and don't want to be relying on Earls as cover. Pete is less of a concern as we have great depth in that area but hopefully not too bad for him either.

I wouldn't worry about that too much. If it's a HIA he didn't look like he was at all groggy etc going off so I'd say he might miss the Japan game but will then be back.

POM far more worrying. Shoulder injury could mean anything.

Looks like rain Ted.

Scotland are terrible at the breakdown

Clegg

Brilliant counter ruck from VdF.

You're very welcome.

Any questions just ask

In fairness he did post in English, and not Irish. He must be trying to appease the Unionists.

I'm not saying he didn't touch him.

Stupid is harsh.

It's not like either team are unused to these conditions.

How was that not a penalty for interfering with Larmour?

captbarnacles

Ireland intensity dropped?

Thanks for the info there....

Inspector Coptoor

Sexton very flat footed there vs Maitland.

The kicking from hand there from Stockdale and Larmour was pretty poor

jammiedodgers

Is it me imagining it or is Sexton not committing to tackles?

Think it's just the weather allowing things down.

He never really has but since his injuries he definitely doesn’t commit.

ongarite

That was a poor kick in these conditions. Have Scotland a lot of ground.

Tadgh down, NOOOOOO!

Larmour needs to keep it simple

It's true. He refused to honour them and the poor girl who was doing him a favour got sacked. Bit of a low life thing to do.

Rte player keeps stopping and buffering, internet is 160mbs at the minute, they really need to boost their servers for the later games

Have you a VPN left on? Anyone using region bypassing equipment could be confusing the RTÉ servers and causing the connection problems.

This is it

Even with a 16 point lead I'm a bit nervous. A converted try and they're right back in it

"Now off his feet" - How long was he on the ball ref?

eigrod

Sloppy this. All off our own lineout.

ScrubsfanChris

Did Laidlaw just stamp on someone?

ongarite

That reaction to the drop is priceless.

This is it

Scotland upping the intensity there, lucky with the knock on.

Hendersons hand, then someone came in to clear hendo out and made contact direct with head

Happy4all

Scrappy now, suiting Scotland

ongarite

Killer and Porter on now.

Forty Seven

Ireland were offside repeatedly while retreating.

The weather will help us hugely. So hard to chase with this rain as you have to play that bit freer and play the risky plays.

Nah don't have one, might try clearing cookies and cache. Just resorted to a random stream I found on Reddit that seems a lot more stable. Annoying that you have to rewatch the ads on rte player if you need to refresh the page

Don't think there was much force with either but maybe should have been a penalty.

Utah_Saint

What a catch by porter

They need to make a few more pennies off the licence payer.

Stockdale grabbed the man in the air there, very lucky

Snow Garden

Murray will get blocked down on a box kick before this game is over. Could be costly

Could be a browser issue. I found performance differences between Firefox and Chrome.
