Irelands scrum in serious bother here from the off, Archer seems to be shipping most water.
England in for a try after Boss clearly taken out on the fringes. But Ireland in a bit of bother to be honest.
Waldron is one fat cunt.
Zebo should have passed back inside there
Thought that too but the replay suggested the option was cut off. The tackle from Banahan was typically ignorant and questionable.
Keatleys passing is erratic to say the least.
Banahan the cunt thought he was playing NFL
Nice try and great hands from O’Malley. Great line of running from Kearney.
Hes a fucking thug, always has been.
Good try there, probed until the opportunity came. Both Irish wings look up for it, hopefully our 10 12 13 can start to link up better.
Christ thats another fuck up from Keatley.
+1.
Keatley is all over the shop, some lovely passes mixed with absolute tripe
Very unlike Duffy there. Good scramble after to recover it, Spence done well at the end to force the penalty.
Keatley again!!!
Missed touch from pen. Unforgivable shit
More like it Duffy.
Keatley will need to pull it together quick here or we wont see him in the second half.
Who’s the sub outhalf on the bench? Humphreys?
Madigan
Very good defence there, but they really should have cleared their lines at the end.
It’s our scrum, will someone tell that gimp of a co-commentator :shakefist:
Thats not a benefit to us though at the moment. Archer getting a bit of an education here.
Finally, a positive result at a scrum.
Keatleys kick there :o
That’s a killer turnover. Looking forward to seeing Madigan in 2nd half. Never seen him kick at goal and only very rarely out of hand. Exciting runner but
He has a massive kick out of hand Dan. Duffy also having a bit of a mare. Who else is on the bench?
What did Duffy do wrong Mac apart from the knock on from the garryowen? The second one was a mess to deal with to be fair to him.
Only Irish downsides for me are the scrum and outhalf, one is easily fixed, the other not so much. Ireland really shouldnt be losing this game and I think if they get their act together they should win. Easily the better side in the opening half imo.
