[2019 Six Nations] Italy vs Ireland (24/02/2019)

[Jockstap]

Scannell playing well since he's come on.

 

[Leinster Fan]

Get Cooney on. Healy and James Ryan should have been on the bench for this exact situation.

Irish defence looks very disjointed. Must be partly due to the Aki injury and reshuffle but still surprising.

 

[Every Time Ref]

It's more that the offending player continuing to win the ball back is rare, in my opinion anyway.

Yeah, I was about to go to Tesco for fake tan and Veet cream and realised I'd gone too deep.

See what you mean. But once he's out, I can see how the ref sees it as a "fresh start" and allows him babknin to compete legally. If it was against England I mughtvwell be saying what you're saying TBF

Not like Henderson and McGrath are massive steps down in steadying the ship or providing impact.

 

[Leinster Fan]

Kilcoyne is going very well. Really taking his chance, Dillane is playing alright as well. Everyone else... sigh.

 

[Jockstap]

We'll be grand, it'll hit 60 and we'll pull away, same thing that happened in Cardiff yesterday, we're much fitter than this Italian team.

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Kilcoyne's got wheels

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Kilcoyne's got wheels

Him and Furlong are like having two extra no.8s on the pitch

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Him and Furlong are like having two extra no.8s on the pitch

That makes two backrows for us today!

 

[Leinster Fan]

Him and Furlong are like having two extra no.8s on the pitch

Which is great, because Jordi Murphy isn't.

 

[Jockstap]

Ever since the lads in the studio pointed out Murray's left arm I can't stop looking at it.

 

[big ginger 8]

So much ******* up.

 

[Leinster Fan]

Sexton is having a decent half.

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Can't wait to see that on r/justiceforkeith later

 

[Leinster Fan]

Dillane with a completely characteristic mistake there.

 

[big ginger 8]

Would not have expected Ireland to have 10 more handling errors than Italy.

 

[Leinster Fan]

Italy's discipline has been really poor this half.

 

[big ginger 8]

How many penalties from Tebaldi? Don't normally have to worry about your 9 being a penalty machines.

 

[Leinster Fan]

And to think that started with us messing up the lineout. Genius.
