Good take from Fitz under pressure there…
Would like to see our hands on the ball and keep it tight for a while here…We have seen precious little of it since the try
Lovely kick from O’Gara and a shocking lineout from the scots…Great attacking position now…
More terrible defending on their line from the Scots
Christ that was poor defending again from Scotland. Good solid scrum but their back row were absent there.
Thought the second tackler on Heaslip, think it was Jackson, came in way too high and was never going to get Heaslip down…
Yeah it looked a bit chickeny to be honest. More trying to stand in his way than actually trying to knock him.
That is much better, plenty of phases and go forward ball…Shame it ended with a penalty against us, some nice touches from D’Arcy, Earls and Heaslip in that…We need to be doing it more often
That was an excellent passage of play but shite from O’Gara at the end. There was nothing that extraordinary in that play - just move it away from the ruck and run hard at them with support runners.
But O’ Gara is giving a masterclass isn’t he?
He has probably kicked a bit too much, but presume this is part of the gameplan/management instructions and his kicking has been excellent in fairness to him and both tries came from his probing kicks into the Scotland 22
That was no more a forward pass :rolleyes:
Poor decision alright, angles meant it would never be forward. And more scrums as a result.
What a pig of a match
Awful stuff alright, scrum has decended into an awful mess and a pure lottery at this stage
Wouldn’t mind seeing Stringer on shortly to pick up the pace a little here for us…Scots have struggled when we move the ball quickly…Another try butchered with indiscipline…A couple of great rampaging runs from O’Brien there
Couple of superb carries from O’Brien there. Finally a bit of pace added to the game.
Far far better there and a deserved try…should see it out comfortably now
Well that was coming anyway. A bit of possession and running at them and they’ve a very patchy defence.
O’Gara’s kicking out of hand has been excellent today in fairness to the man…Would like to see some fresh blood introduced shortly…Cullen, Stringer & Cronin hopefully
