RWC Week 5: Ireland v Scotland

[sparky]

@stodders The All Blacks

@cgrant helps to have a back row containing Aldritt and Botia 😬

[stodders]

@sparky so it can be done 😉. And that version of the ABs was not the current version.

Big week ahead prep wise. Then the players need to do their talking on the pitch.

Any update on Lomax yet?

Wonder if Porter will do another of his absorbing tackles? 😬

says it all.

All Blacks are fucked.

[ARHS]

Impressive by Ireland. But gee do they milk the referee to the max. I thought the Tmo was inept today and hope Mr Cronan does not officiate for us.
Do we know the qf officials yet? It will make a huge difference in my view. We must create flow from the ruck and keep tmo out of it.

[stodders]

@sparky Karl Dickson the ref 😬

George Bower at prop.

JB at 15. QT at 12. Reece on the wing. Beauden Barrett at 10.

Scott Barrett at 6.

That’s a fair bit of change.

Not forgetting, the entire assistant coaching team has been replaced.

[stodders]

@ARHS Aussie ref team as inept as the Wallaby team.

[stodders]

@ARHS do coaches still get to speak to the ref prior to the game? I imagine Foster and Farrell will have things they want to get across if so

[game_film]

Brer O’Keefe, Barnes, Gardner and French/Saffa to ref the quarters, surely? Being that #1 is out, #2 or #3 would be welcome and #4 is potentially terrible - but for either team, I like the odds

Wayne Barnes was in charge of the Maori ABs win and the 3rd test Ireland win ... I would be happy with Barnes for the quarters

[Billy Tell]

Barnes, Peyper, O’Keefe and the Georgian. That’s my picks for the choice of ¼ final refs. Picks as in who will get chosen not who I would pick.

[Steven Harris]

How good were those Irish Fans..?,

[Billy Tell]

Worst player for Scotland was their 12. Run straight man!

[Stag]

Think that Sexton is getting a bit to much love, comprehensively out played by Finn in a well beaten team

Finn is a good footballer, didn’t watch all this game so generalising, but if he got to play behind a dominant pack , wevcould be referring to him as best 10 in the world in the near future.

[Old Samurai Jack]

It is concerning that Scotland`s defense is passive and they run it from everywhere without doing the hard yards like the ABs....
