  1. Wind to 1:55, third Ireland try – I fail to understand why this wasn't at least referred to the TMO. Look at where the pass was made and where it was received (pitch markings). Even with the new "laws of physics" interpretation of the forward/backward pass definition, this one needed looking at. (And no, I'm not Scottish, just a rugby fan who is getting tired of inconsistent application of the laws). Don't get me started on the late hit on Hogg (and borderline late hits on Sexton). It ruins the game when the best players are taken out illegally.

  2. An Irish fan that probably doesn't know shit about what he's on about here, a bit disappointed about losing out on a BP but I certainly won't act sour. We're just too slow, and generally can't cope with high tempo/intense play. That's why we lost to England in the Aviva (respect to them, they're bouncing back as we should be), and that's why I would say that this win, although a win, wasn't reassuring. Mediocre tries, intermittent gaps in our line and we're just lacking the "bread and butter stuff" in general as we say…
    We need to work on line speed and bring some palpable form of tenacity into our games. A bad year to fall apart, but in the big picture, better now than in the WC I suppose.

  3. I think this year the world cup is going to be a highly competitive one beacouse Ireland is really good England got back to winning ways and is looking good then there is wales who is also doing well then there is also the all blacks so game on I can't wait for world cup

  4. Ireland really are a load of shit as if Scotland hadn't made so many ridiculous and 'unforced' errors, they would have beaten the tallywackers quite comfortably. England pummelled them in Dublin and Wales will do the same – at that point, the arrogance of the fans, players and the press over there in tallywacker land will be no more…….arrogant pricks, thinking they only had to turn up against England and they would win! Oh, yeah, someone in the tallywacker's camp should have a word with that prick, Stockdale, as he really needs to grow up.

  5. If you are looking for some sort of validation of Ireland as a World Cup contender then you would simply have to remove this match from the evidence because when they face South Africa or The All Blacks in their quarter final they will not encounter defense as half hearted as the Scots displayed in this game.

  6. If I were Sexton I'd tell the Lions to do one next time. People trying to injure him week in and week out, then expect him to line up alongside them and win games for them on tour. Have a summer off and heal yourself, mate.

  7. Got got got to stop this childish winger behaviour of " over running the pass" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Like over eager youth players. ALL wingers,everywhere. Its pathetic at such a level. I' d still pick Scotland to beat Ireland again though. Irish got lucky.

  8. Our 2 best tightheads: WP Nel and Zander Fagerson
    Our best Lock/ Blindside Hybrid player: Sam Skinner
    2 of the best Flankers in world rugby: Hamish Watson and John Barclay
    One of our best on field leaders and workhorses: Ryan Wilson
    Our best impact sub back rower: Dave Denton
    Our quickest and best impact 9: George Horne
    Our best 12 of the 6 nations era: Duncan Taylor
    One of the best players to ever play in the the 6 Nations: Stuart Hogg

    All of these sensational players were injured prior to or during the match against the best rugby team of 2018. The boys really stepped up and did the badge proud, if we cut out the silly errors we will be a force to be reckoned with at the world cup

  9. OK by Ireland, but England are going to win the Slam, Wales will not be able to stop them, and they will win the World Cup in November, Can't see the All Blacks beating them with their current form and intent! Ireland supporter!

  10. Booing the kicker. Last week whistles in Dublin. From a french or italian crowd, it isn't surprising, but from a british/irish one… They used to be silent.
    I hope rugby crowds won't turn into football crowds and lost respect towards the players.
