Chunk would have gone himself

Aye, but chunk would have just about made the 22 by now.

Eskimo would have scored that. He's lighting.

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.

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

Aye, that's good reward from the season they are having.

Good to see they're being picked as well. Connacht have had good seasons before (although never this good) and they still get ignored.

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.

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 don't think your seeing that 13 quid Baz....

Have to recoup my losses with the England Wales match.

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

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.

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.

Yeah, Clive is a massive ballbag.

Needs more katherine jenkins

Bright start.

Why are nowells and watson on the wrong wings?

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

Faux hard man bullshittery... Just once, I want someone to clock someone.

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.

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.

I heard it the other week in either the weegies or embra match I'm sure.

this is a heroic tackle, text book, that's not how to do it kids at home!


eh?
