Scot v Ire about to kick off. Best & Co look very stressed and wound-up. Not a good sign.

Farrell half a metre in front of kicker just before try ...

They’re looking a little less stressed now!

True that. More please Jacob.

Scotland doing a good job of beating Scotland here. Awful handling, defence to match.

I did like Rory's reaction/celebration/congratulations after that try.
All the backs jumping all over each other, Rory just walks up, grabs him by the neck, gives a small nod, walks away.
“That'll do Pig, that'll do”.

Bones

Scotland are nothing without Russell.

Derm McCrum

Tight game. Enjoying this.
10-12 at HT.

Bones

So Irish player clearly pulling Scots out of the maul, yet Scots get penalised for collapsing? Does not compute.

Bones

Scotland outshat Ireland. Or is that shitted? How did those fucks beat us.

Bones

This is the fluffybunny woman who went on at DC introducing the Wales game isn't it? She just announced Italy are desperate to end their winning streak.

Not a bad performance from Ireland.

If we’d said last November that we have to play Scotland away without being able to select Beirne, Toner, Henderson, Stander, Leavy, Henshaw, Ringrose, Marmion, McGrath, Conway and then losing Sexton early doors to HIA, I’d be happy with 3 tries and 4 points. But that’s just me.

@Derm-McCrum Two of the three tries were extremely soft. Some TMOs would have called Carberry's pass to Earls yards forward. But a win's a win, which is all that counts now.

Correct - a win for a somewhat reduced squad. Always look at the positives. ;).

Victor Meldrew

Can't remember any 6N with so many tries from unbelievably dumb mistakes - some of them look bloody hilarious.

Good win by Ireland IMHO. Kept their heads in the second half. Sexton had another average game, though. Schmidt might have some worries there.

Bones

@Derm-McCrum yeah what pakman said, 2 of those tries involved some of the worst tackling you'll see by forwards in the perfect position to stop a back in tandem. Abhorrent. Scotland were shit, yet if they'd had one less shit moment they would have come close to winning.

Bones

What's with all the French ref's?

Bones

Apparently 6n ref's have been told to firmly police the lineout gap.

Yeah I'm sure the offside line and mauls can be ignored. Gap is way more important.

Only one more frenchie after this match.
Getting rid of all the random early?

Sexton took a lot late hits, missed one conversion and made the pass for Stockdale’s try before being taken off in 23rd minute for a HIA from a head stamp.

Don’t think he was that bad for his ‘cameo’ appearance.
