2013 Six Nations

As discussed previously I will watch occasional matches that involve Oā€™Driscoll until he retires.

A nonsense appointment alright.

Ho ho ho

Piss poor game,piss poor Irish teamā€¦

Marshall :smiley: FGAU

What a bunch of cocks.

The standard was woeful alright. Handling errors throughout and awful decision making and execution.

How did we get on at the breakdown Rocko?

Good man hook!!!

Ya, I donā€™t get Kearney, he is so sparodic. Brilliant defensIvely but seems to have lost it going forward and he does this mental jump before chugging direction. In teaching COD in drills you would tell the player to exaggerate the step, but Kearmey does a jig and a shuffle before foot placement. Itā€™s mad for a professional, just allows an easy tackle.

Yes!!!

The match stats are hilarious. Keith Wood looks like someone just shat in his pillowcase
So the goys are back to being shit again? Terrific.

The Golden Generation will win just one championship.

what impact will this defeat have on the schoolsā€™ game sid?

The thrower canā€™t throw, the pushers canā€™t push and the kickers canā€™t kick. Surely they should just disband altogether

Driscoll, Oā€™Gara, Heaslip, Oā€™Brien, kearney have all been mentioned as world class in the past or recent past so how are we losing these games?

Gilroy, Ryan, Best are mentioned as possible Lions - whats goin on lads?

:D:D:pint:

The undoubted humour and prankster ability of donners will be required more than ever to lift the camp now

:D:

Yeah that skip and jump thing is exactly what Iā€™m talking about. Itā€™s abysmal technique and means he telegraphs his changes of direction and invariably runs the ball straight into a barely mobile prop. He can still evade a tackle straight after the kick but once he gets running heā€™s terrible and I donā€™t know anybody has ever even tried to coach him otherwise.

I was complaining about the general lack of skills of Irish rugby players here a few months ago and they have been worse since. Fitzgerald had a kick sit up for him on the bounce and all he had to do was catch it and he was probably scoring. He dropped it and Ward said it was "difficult. " It was difficult maybe for a teenager playing third string underage rugby. It was at best a poor effort from an international player. It would have been laughed at in NZ Iā€™m sure.
