[2021 Six Nations] Italy vs Ireland (27/02/21)

[big ginger 8]

Some lovely stuff the last few minutes.

Hope we can do it against other teams.

Ireland's off-loading has been far better. Don't think they are doing much different in attack, just some excellent off-loading to break open the defence.

Italy are terrible

That's always the trouble with Italy: no matter how well your team plays against them, it's hard to convince yourself it means anything.

That the trick. We look very good today. But hard to gaugw have we improved as Italy are not of 6 Nations calibre sadly.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Garbisi is so classy

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Italy score a try, place in the 6n confirmed for another year because of such a clear contribution to it.

 

[Not Eddie Jones]

The one thing you can say about Italy this tournament is that they have scored some good tries.

They can't defend for toffee though.

Hoping we see Casey early. JGP has been a momentum killer at times.

His hair is too long for that hairline as well

 

[Jakedood]

You reckon if shaun edwards worked with italy for a year they'd be a handful?

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Garbisi always looks like he’s just woken up.

 

[Tooting Carmen]

Good try from Italy.

 

[Groundhog]

Think the Italians a bit lucky there. Won't begrudge them it though

Not a handful, but they wouldn't leak as many tries.
Pity really because they do have some nice attacking play at times.

This game is over already at 27 10.
I can see Ireland getting 50+

Fix defence and penalties then I think they'd be competitive. However for all their good work, it's too easy to score tries and just undoes all their good work.

Yup, silly penalties a BIIIIG problem.

 

[Jakedood]

Herring to come on at 50 minutes to add some serious dynamism ....

 

[Not Eddie Jones]

Too easy.

 

[Reiser99]

Might as well empty bench now. Italy aren't getting another 23 points without Ireland scoring.

Casey and Baird please
