And with that goes Chris Henry’s 2011 WC hopes
Ah that’s terribly sloppy. Very predictable.
Ah lads thats shocking stuff - is there a way I can blame O’Leary for that try?
Awful from O’Leary there with pass and pedestrian from Henry.O’Leary’s timing of run poor too.Would like to see Lawrence get a gap in the lineout
Did Mark Robson go to the same school of Commentary as Ger Canning
I was just thinking the exact same thing :lol:
To be fair puke if Kidney was that ruthless TOL would have been gone long long ago.Very predictable from Henry though
O’Leary’s only there because of the alternatives though. Henry is behind Heaslip obviously but he may well be behind Wallace and even Leamy for 8 if he doesn’t improve.
TBH I feel today is his day to stake a claim as I cannot see Kidney bringing 2 specialised 8’s to the WC unless Henry makes it impossible to drop him…Especially as Wallace and Leamy will be odds on to make the squad and are both comfortable at 8 if anything happens Heaslip…
We are being destroyed in the scrum and lineout, yet somehow we are wining
This is brtual in the lineout. Second choice or third choice or anything shouldn’t make a difference to lineout ball.
And now the scrum is getting destroyed. Having seen the Aussie scrum in recent years that’s shocking.
TOL doens’t help Henry at all though. Even there TOL made it clear what move was way before he needed to
Agreed, when the scrum was retreating he just ran away
We’ve had a couple of soft decisions off the ref. Not that they’re wrong but just that we’ve got penalties from not doing anything ourselves.
Ah Larry, it was Henry all the way, if he’d gone straight Ireland had 3 on 2. I know they have moves etc but you play with whats in front of you too.
Henry is panicking, even that scrum there that was under pressure he fucked it out at O’ Leary.
Having said that O’ Leary has mixed the bad with the good.
Sexton having his best game for Ireland so far. Healy looks good, as does our 2nd row, except for slight line out problems. Micko won a nioce sneaky knock on that should have been a penalty. Trimble and Kearney impressing, both Kearney and Wallace tackling well.
Back row mauling hasn’t quite happened yet.
Outstanding defence and attack there from O’Driscoill
That was great move. Again combination of Sexton and Wallace create gaps.
Superb from the centers there, beautiful pass from Wallace.
Ah brilliant break - pity he doesnt have the same gas anymore. Well played by Trimble as well. Super pass from Paddy Wallace in the middle.
That is far better, lovely ball to O’Driscoll…Line out seems to be settling…Big kick here…Nailed…
Larry will have liked that. That was the best advertisement for Seton and Wallace together that we’ve seen. A couple of early loops from Sexton keeps their defence honest and now Ireland have opened up two distributors.
What the fuck was O’Leary at there?
