Aye, but chunk would have just about made the 22 by now.OptimisticJock wrote:How did they not finish that?
Chunk would have gone himself
Eskimo would have scored that. He's lighting.

Re: Other games
This is astonishing. Ireland running up a cricket score without ever really getting into the high gears. A little bit of composure and they could have pushed the record winning margin.

Yeah, I think the writing was on the wall when they conceded that intercept straight after half time. Killed off any hope instantly.hugh_woatmeigh wrote:This is astonishing.

5 connacht players on the pitch. That's great when you think about what they used to be.

Good to see they're being picked as well. Connacht have had good seasons before (although never this good) and they still get ignored.OptimisticJock wrote:5 connacht players on the pitch. That's great when you think about what they used to be.
They're starting to get poached again though... I'm sure a couple have already signed for other provinces now. A shame.
PS that was a mile forward, doesn't affect the result though.

Re: Other games
lets not talk about winning records and kicking on Scott....Italy's record isn't that different to ours in the six nations...
it's not clear it's forward .....fine i'll accept, but 'and its a long pass too'....odd..
strangely quiet at the stadium...

It should also highlight to the SRU why persevering with a 3rd side is the way forward.

I know a score at the death wouldn't make any difference but Heaslip is a bit dim isn't he? WTF was that?

Re: Other games
I do agree with you, but put it up north. The Vast majority of the peole in the borders made it clear that they would rather watch Melrose and Hawick. Which is fair enough, so stick it in Aberdeen or something. Call it the Caledonia Reds.OptimisticJock wrote:It should also highlight to the SRU why persevering with a 3rd side is the way forward.

Wilkinson is a class pundit. He's impossible to dislike. I could probably listen to that cat explain cricket to me and find it interesting... On the other hand... Clive Woodward could say exactly what Wilkinson just said and I'd want to throw my TV... Directly at his head.

Wrong option from Ford there. Check the defence, then go left again. Good cover defence from Wales.

Wingers having a side of the pitch... I swear that was a thing created by wingers to make out that catching the ball and running in a straight line is in some way more complicated than it is.OptimisticJock wrote:Why are nowells and watson on the wrong wings?

Re: Other games
Is it me or have refs stopped asking "is there any reason why I can't award the try?" Commentators keep referring to it, but I've not heard a ref ask it in a while. Might be a directive.
Looked like a try to me.
