What is it about Ireland that allows them to walk around the side of breakdowns, or just plain enter from where the opposition halfback should be?
I think they often start from hindmost but then do every thing they can to end up in front of the ball or disrupt the ruck.

@Tordah they are excellent at pushing the limit across the board...at rucks, taking players out ahead of the ball carrier and ahead of the ruck, thier d line that is always just ahead of the off side line...thier superb discipline makes it all appear legit

If Scotland win and Ireland no BP then don’t the scots go through? Both on 14 and first decider is the match winner?
So why not take the 3?
Probably think it’s harder to stay 8 points in front then score 4 tries perhaps. But yes scoreboard pressure makes more sense.

They seem to be consistently allowed to come around the side of the rucks..... which regardless of entry .. should be called... but hey they have been doing it for ages -- so why stop now.
Ireland looking very composed, and seem to expect to have breaks every 7 - 8mins...

Thatbwas out

LOL so France and Ireland ..... untouchable by the the TMOs

What is the rule when an Irish players literally lies on top of the ruck in front of the ball with no attempt to move. Should players entering the ruck also not try to stay on their feet. That last ruck the Irish player actually looked like a dead fish and made no attempt to stay on feet.

At this point Scotland’s only hope is an Irish red card
