BOK reffed the last game fair with no drama. I'm hoping his SH compatriot, Berry, does likewise
Ignoring the breakdown does suit Ireland
-
Nic Berry ... not my favorite referee in the world by any measure (at least he aint English I guess) - i hope we don't end up talking about him all game.
-
2 great National anthems...
Hope I haven't built this game up too much in my head.A chance for Ireland to throw the gauntlet down ahead of the pointy end of the comp... OR..... does a plucky Scotland pull one out of the bag?
-
Scotish defender taken out to create the gap....
-
@Mattasaurus just far enough away it isn't seen as an issue...

I hate how they use players in front of the ball too, but WR doesn't seem to care and hasn't for 5 or so years.
-
@Mattasaurus just something else they do really well pushing the law
-
Who's the Irish Captain?
-
-
Ireland already in the refs ear - thats another thing they do annoyingly well... they literally talk to them all game

@Damo guess they know.they have to.score.tries...but winning 1st is more important

I don't really understand not taking the easy 3 points there.
They need 4 tries and win to go.
Still scoreboard pressure is a thing too... but that does make sense

If they just win without 4 tries and Ireland get 1 BP they are out. So 4 trys is the first goal I would imagine.

Not true.
If Scotland win by 8 points without a BP then they and Ireland are both on 14 points. SA go through on 15 and then Scotland go through having beaten Ireland.
Winning and denying Ireland any BP is enough.
