[QUOTE="Ragey Erasmus, post: 783572, member: 56232"] Ireland live off other teams giving away penalties and the remaining teams Ireland have to face are all giving away lots of penalties. Ireland will be able to hold out Italy without problems and easily win once Italy tire, Scotland give away too many penalties but could get through the normally solid Irish defence. Also I fancy they could keep Ireland tryless. England is a real 50/50, if we tighten up on our discipline, get to rucks properly and give away nothing for free, I can see Ireland seriously struggling against us and resorting to kick chases as the only way to make ground. On the other hand if we have a first half like against Italy, Ireland will just pin us back in our half and take 3 points time and time again like they did last year. It's a game like Ireland where I'd really want someone like Daly over JJ. JJ did really well but having a long range kicker at 13 combine with one at 10 and 12 would allow us to better compete in a kicking game. [/QUOTE]
