Six Nations 17/18

[BaggyTrousers]

Just in case amnesia has set in here, deliberate or medical, I would refer you to Heaslip's tackle on Stuart Hogg in March 2015 in the Scotland v Ireland game. Classic try saving tackle. It's about 75 minutes into the game. I am sure you can get it on youtube.

You mean when a Leinster out half missed a kick to make it a more than one score game?

I was there. I remember

If Leinster fly halves would stop missing kicks Ireland wouldnt have to have backs to the wall defence

Well remembered Russ, I'd forgotten that one from the Janny the Loop greatest misses collection, starring the "slipped in his own shyte" kick that would have hastened the first beating of the All Blacks.


Apparently, the DVD is to be re-released with an Extras feature entitled: "The Loop bails out" a collection of when he's had a chance to put a game away but declines the easy penalty, I understand Saturdays gutless refusal to put Ireland 10 points up with bugger all time left will be featured as amongst the most cowardly decisions ever in world rugby. The shamefulbastard even took a quick one and ran it in an attempt to cover up his personal cowardice.

Doubtless, all you Paddybastards were relieved that Stockcube saved his blushes, I was hoping Wales would sneak a late try to expose Loop the Coward.

Could someone please deliver a brief summary, I have no use for listening to anything Luke Fitzwank has to say on anything. I assume they are playing the old game "Blame the Nordie".

I dare say there was no mention of Janny the Loop not only kicking like a one-legged man in an arsekicking contest, but also blatantly bottling a kick at goal to secure the game. If you want to look at why an utterly dominant team scraped home, look no further than Sexton. My only surprise was that they didn't give him the MOTM anyway..............just because he's souper.

Lukie boy thinks the fact that Ireland were getting dragged into a narrow defence was all the fault of the winger left trying to cover 20m of pitch and 3 attackers on his own. He's making up a story blaming Ireland's narrow defence on a permitted Nordie target. Stockdale was not at fault for Shingler's try. The entire back line were being dragged in and he was rightly holding his position to maintain the integrity of the line.

Subtitling error? Bit of a coincidence.

I wonder is it just purely speech recognition or is there some sort of AI/context lookup built into it.

It's not untrue though.

I liked his response.

To paraphrase: I wish they'd had this 25 years ago. It would have saved me a lot of bother working things out.

Loike makes no mention of the same try being scored down mcfadyens wing either

I hear that Luke Fitz is taking over Ireland selection duties from Josef.

No. Not really. He is just another in a long list of clowns being paid to give the type of opinion folk on here give for free. Most of what is written in the media and elsewhere about rugby is utter ballix. I've even been known to engage in it myself. Life is too short to care about what Luke writes.

Now the Farrell news is not good. Just when the fecker shows himself to be a good option he fecking gets injured in training. Should be docked a month's wages for that.

Amen Brother Turnip.

I have hated him for a long time. I'm fully aware that it's a waste of energy, but I'm pretty twitchy at present and he's a good target to release a bit of pent-up rage at.

My favourite, Fitzwank story is when he was under-20 and was too important to join the rest of the U20 squad in a training camp, choosing to turn up, park at the side of the pitch in Belfield, train and then go home. Eventually, he decided the U20s were unimportant, claimed to be injured and was replaced in the squad by Felix Jones.

The U20s with Earls, Cave and a load of other decent players won the U20 Grand Slam.

Ringrose and Sammy Arnold involved in PR media work. Ringrose is a shoo-in for the weekend now. I wonder is Hendo still broken?

Hendo and Furlong both expected to train fully this week and be available for selection.
