Re: 6 Nations 2023
The entire ire Bench were absolutely superb…..all of them added real energy and drives, denying France the opportunity to come back at us.
Well done to the ire scrum, put a real marker down, and denied France Easy entry and big psychological blow for France. The fr goal line d was good, we could’ve put 45pts on them.

Re: 6 Nations 2023
Irish bench were fantastic. Henderson came in at the right time (after Beirne got injured mind you).
Tom o’toole had a starter, fantastic player when he plays like that, but I don’t think he had any scrums, so it suited him.

Casey / Byrne game management was bloody good last 20.
Re: 6 Nations 2023
France wouldn’t have scored without WB getting in the way.
Very good from Ireland.
Keenan continues to do the bread and butter stuff extremely clinically and is coming up with an increasing number of big moments.

They need to commission another Mickey Mouse trophy before 3pm tomorrow.
No guarantee they'd win it mind...

Re: 6 Nations 2023
Amazing handling from both teams considering TOT came on with 20 to go.
Super win. Ringrose pure class
Re: 6 Nations 2023
Ire remind me of a really good all blacks side.
Superb fitness, excellent defence, unreal handling, devastating strike moves, solid set piece, very good breakdown, real rugby intelligence.

Re: 6 Nations 2023
Not bad considering we were missing four starters. Ringrose is giing to have to improve. Too many errors.
Re: 6 Nations 2023
Hansen is a very good player but he needs to nail the occasional tackle.
Re: 6 Nations 2023
I don’t think he’s very good at all. That’s two weeks in a row he has been 1 v 1 5m out and got smashed. Does he finish enough try’s?
He was at fault for the Penaud try, firstly chip kicking, a risky move, then letting Penaud waltze past him Untouched. If that was Stockdale, we’d be vilifying him. Seems like he missed nearly every tackle down his wing for the 2nd week in a row also. He has an opinion of himself that doesn’t match his ability, surely O’Brien or Stockdale would be worth a run out vs Italy?

Re: 6 Nations 2023
I hate itvx
Got to the tv late Oh yes, of course you can watch the programme from the start, but no fast forward so had to watch from the start of the programme and the 45 mins of useless talk. Then 20 mins into the match, off it goes and on comes 'The Chase.' What a load of junk.
Had to be satisfied with the Scotland v Wales game. We all know how bad Wales are - and they were even worse than last week. Scotland were less bad but we should hammer them with lots to spare.

Re: 6 Nations 2023
Two games in and how many tackles has Ringrose missed? Must be near double figures. Any non-Leinster man would be getting lambasted. Not a peep.

He's flakey as hell. He can feck off back to the colonies where he belongs and take his ridiculous antipodean facial hair with him.Big-al wrote: ↑Sat Feb 11, 2023 7:45 pmI don’t think he’s very good at all.
