[2020 Six Nations] Ireland vs Scotland (01/02/20)

[Groundhog]

If Alpha's zealousness for a man he's never met is anything to go by, Ringrose is a leader that men would gladly die for. Nary a Six Nations goes by without Alpha putting pictures of Ringrose in threads apropos of nothing

 

[munstermuffin]

Interesting the leadership group is Sexton, POM, Ryan, Henderson, Furlong, and Ringrose.

Stander gone and Best. But I think it's smart to have youth. Ringrose may never officially captain but will be the experience in a pivotal spot for years.

Was a bit surprised Stander was dropped, anyone know why? From the leadership group that is

He is still a leader but is best left to concentrate on his own game. Also it is no harm for fresh voices

Any particular reason McInally isn't starting?

Should be a good day for our pack provided the lineout doesn't go to complete ****.

I suspect Brown has got the nod over McInally because he is in slightly better form and being a former backrower adds another breakdown specialist in addition to Watson and particularly Ritchie.

No claims about winning the 6N from the Scottish camp this year. I'm sensing a low profile is being kept in the media this time around.

 

[Leinster Fan]

Some genuine danger in that backline, but given the difference in quality between the packs we should really win this.

Yeah a superior pack and home advantage should see Ireland win comfortably. Haven't seen much of Doris but have heard great things. Will be keeping an eye on him tomorrow.

 

[duncanb]

Expect Ireland comfortable 20+ for my acca.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

I love Faz Sr., Great interview/piece about him then.

He looks like you could line up all 192 players in this tournament and he'd knock them all out one by one without breaking a sweat.

 

[McTallshort]

Irish tackling is shocking

 

[Leinster Fan]

Not the best start in any way.

 

[Reiser99]

That's a shame for Doris.

 

[Leinster Fan]

What happened to the head injury stops play thingy?

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Sexmania

 

[Leinster Fan]

That's a lovely try.

 

[big ginger 8]

Try as sharp as Sexton's fade.

 

[Leinster Fan]

That's a truly shocking call, couldn't have been more obvious.
