Scotland v Ireland 6n 2021

UAEguy2020

Just like Wales we get ourselves in a great position and once again we completely take our foot off the pedal and let the opposition back in the game and now we have a much bigger task on our hands as they now have their tails up...

Lowe has played well, but he was definitely jogging back there. Don't think he was alone though.

Far more concerned by Ringrose though. He isnt at it at all.

Yep, loads of people watching just waiting for a "mistake" so they can pile on.

The lack of urgency is the issue. You need to be delivering a lot more in attack to be jogging back in defence like that.

He showed a complete lack of urgency, which he has done several times before. POM beating him to a chase back, Furlong bursting a gut before him to stop a try in his corner and Keenan (I think?) there trying to get to the ball before him

The try wasn't his fault but his complete lack of urgency/pace to get to the ball in defensive situations is worrying

All Scotland now, once again in playing the ref better again.

Bar the lineout Ireland are poor everywhere. What does Catt bring to the table at all?

Muligatawney

Usually a big Ringrose fan but he's completely off today. Henshaw keeping the midfield respectable.

Lots of handling errors from both sides as well.

Snuffed out a Scottish try earlier in the game by bit committing early on Russell and forcing a knock on with a good tackle.

That Scottish try wasn't on him.

The tackle when he turns his back and was assisted by Ryan?

The kick is right at him. At test level you need to do more. He hasn’t had a good game yet!

Super from Earls

eigrod

Earls playing very well

statesaver

Excellent work from Earls

ScissorPaperRock

Beirne has become such a valuable player. So good to see.

UAEguy2020

Getting overpowered by Scotland in a scrum...is there any depths we won’t sink to?

Not what I said !!

Nice from Earls and Beirne, need to make this count now

A-Train

A great turnover by Beirne

razorblunt

Great chase by Earls,

gally74

Ireland playing like 2019. 3 years on still garryowens box kick etc.

Won’t win against decent opposition

He seemingly ran fast enough to be there to get the ball. Where was Earls, if we're criticising someone? It was his wing.

But Lowe was only beaten by the bounce. On another day the ball lands in his arms.


Beirne and Keenan been our best players so far for me. Ryan good at lineout time too

Kelleher would add another dimension to this team

He was back, he was between the player and the ball.

irishbucsfan

That is a fantastic kick and turnover.

More of that needed, we need possession in the Scottish half for a while, starve them of ball until they cool off a bit

Big kick, gwan Jonny

testtech05

Earls doing some great work today

leakyboots

Super again Earls, his ruck work is so underrated

You said he was the second best player on the pitch...that is absolute rubbish...pity you can't see the folly in your post

blackcard

Compared to yesterday's match, this is turgid

Vinnie222

Earls playing well

leakyboots

Would love to nab another score before half-time

Scratchly

Earls earning that central contract money.

Clegg

Torn on our attacking performance.

We're kicking on turnover ball too often, but it's a fully working. If it's something we've identified as a Scottish weakness then that's great. Just don't want to see it every game.

JGP is stinking the place out today, another awful kick

Annabella1

Need Murray on ASAP

UAEguy2020

It’s all good to kick the ball as long as you can get it back, so far it’s been working so I’m cool with it.

Cluedo Monopoly

These ****in box kicks would sicken your hole.

blackwhite

Poite getting what he deserves for his poor positioning there

Larbre34

Fool me twice.....

almostover

Think we need to pull the plug on JGP and Lowe after this 6N.

A-Train

Too easy for Scotland just have to wait for Ireland to cough up the ball or a penalty. Terrible terrible stuff.

mfceiling

Christ this is a poor watch.

Back to basics and less of this just fcuking the ball around and hoping for the best.

tayto lover

Kicking the ball away all the time. Why?

Ah yes cause his aimless box kicks over the last few years have been so much better :rolleyes:

dublinman1990

I'm liking Earls work rate. The last 2 passages of play from him has been really good. I would love to see more of it.

Yeah, what is Murray doing!!

Oh..hang on.....

Earls got the ball off the turnover from Stander and passed to Ringrose.

He was nowhere near the ball on time. Ringrose at fault for the try, but the laissez-faire attitude from Lowe is part his game that needs to go.

Clegg

What was the pont in that kick from JGP? It's clearly a pre-planned move as well. We were in a decent position to launch an attack as well.

Yet again there's not enough ambition in attack.

Another? His last led to a turnover and penalty?
