Scotland v Ireland 6n 2021

Squidgy Black · 14-03-2021 4:11pm

That is woeful defending between the two Scottish lads but brilliant stuff from Henshaw following up on it.

razorblunt · 14-03-2021 4:11pm

Scotland deserved that for the ridiculous slap down of the ball after Henshaw challenged Hogg.
Ritchie I think it was.

swiwi_ · 14-03-2021 4:12pm

Does anyone else think henshaw didn't ground that? Reckon what you think is the ball is actually his shoulder.

Clegg · 14-03-2021 4:12pm

That started from Ryan's lineout steal too.

It’s pretty bloody clear nothing will come from it.

That kick right there is the sort of kick that will threaten the Scots.

Henshaw's work rate there was insane, won the aerial battle and then followed up for the try.

Pack working their socks off, Lowe very impressive so far bar the somewhat unsympathetic pass from Ringrose.

When you have penalty advantage, yes you should do a lot better than what Sexton did.

7 point opportunity was wasted by the captain of a team not scoring tries.

Big difference between a planned play and auto pilot booting it every time we get advantage

Penalty advantage is exactly what gives you the opportunity to go for a high risk play like that!

Mad stuff on here today

It gives you a chance to go through the phases and run high risk passing plays, not boot it immediately like he has an awful habit of doing.

Clegg · 14-03-2021 4:16pm

Excellent defence from Lowe.

Hilarious. 13mins into the game. Was like a random fella on the street trying to chase an Olympic sprinter.

Furlong looking like farmer chasing a loose sheep.

Some solid defensive decision making by Lowe there

There's a difference between kicking it 22m and 5m out. On the 22 you try something because you've got the kick anyway.

5m out when you're edging towards the line and they're infringing it's a waste to kick it away and then be happy with the 3 when you can just keep doing what's clearly working with a good chance of a try coming.

And if the kick had slipped through and a try scored people would be singing his praises. What the fact he is captain has to do with that play I have no idea.

You don't think teams practice cross field kicks when they have an advantage?

Or take a chance at scoring a try right away, score 3 points as a worst case scenario, knowing you’ll have the ball kicked back to you straight away.

Clegg · 14-03-2021 4:19pm

That's a penalty to Ireland no?

Watson was cleared out but played the ball.

Clegg · 14-03-2021 4:19pm

Huge scrum.

Penalty advantage also gives you time to take a few phases rather than kicking when it's not on. It was awful play by Sexton and he does it a lot on penalty advantage.

Larbre34 · 14-03-2021 4:19pm

Missing touch is b0ll0x at this level.

eigrod · 14-03-2021 4:20pm

Criminal not to find touch there. So frustrating

UAEguy2020 · 14-03-2021 4:20pm

Starting to worry here, we are looking beginning to do what we did in Cardiff and taking our foot off the gas and allowing the opposition. We need to swing this momentum back to us pronto!

Burkie1203 · 14-03-2021 4:20pm

Liking Beirne at 6. Offers us a lot more there

Larbre34 · 14-03-2021 4:21pm

Keenan shows the way again. Love this guy so much. Old head on young shoulders
