Ok, here's how it goes. I want at least four tries or I'll be annoyed.

O'Gara to hit the corners and O'Connell to attack they're lineout. Hopefully the scrum stays up, because it's unlikely we'll be getting quick ruck ball against Mauro and Parisse.

Hopefully the back three to do damage and Mallet seems to be aiming for redemption by throwing Mirco at centre to charge at Paddy Wallace and Ronan O'Gara channel[/b]

O'Gara doesn't kick the mitre ball that well so I'd be surprised if that's the tactic for today

Balls, forgot about the....well, balls.

it's a poor excuse to be honest but if it means a gameplan like 2 years ago then I'll be a happy man.

By the beard of Zeus... look at Paul Griffen's sideburns!

 

[An Tarbh]

bad enough as Ireland's Call is it's feckin worse in slow motion. Suppose it's fair enough though we never play the Italian anthem properly in Dublin.

 

[Hall]

That was cringeworthy.

Is John Hayes actually crying every time its played or is his face just like that anyway?

fight, fight, fight

Why the hell did Castrogiovani ever think he'd get away with that?

Because he plays for Leicester?

6 - 0 to Italy.

Ireland finding it hard to get anything going..

 

[monkeypigeon]

5 errors to none. Flannery you f***ing ***.

 

[Vambo]

Great kick from Griffin.

 

[monkeypigeon]

Tommy you beast!!!!!

 

[Vambo]

Full marks to Bowe there :bravo:

 

[Bullitt]

What a difference a correct selection makes at scrum half... Italy have the fire in their bellies and a complete contrast to last week. Let's hope they can keep it up.

In other news, Parisse is a backrow god.


EDIT: and as I type all that... Ireland score theough Tommy Bowe on a breakaway next to the post... Even O'Choke can't miss a kick like that. Should be 6-7.

 

[Bullitt]

McLean kicks the Azzuri back in front. 9-7

 

[monkeypigeon]

I don't care if he dropped it, that was class. Kearney's catch that is.
