[Six Nations 2018] Round 2: Ireland vs Italy (10/02/2018)

[TRF_Olyy]

You can keep your speedsters and your hot steppers, there's nothing as satisfying as a centre hitting a perfect line and going through the defence untouched

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Last week you struggled to beat France!

Last year you struggled to beat France!

Absolutely gorgeous set play. Ghilardini a bit lucky to get away without a card.

 

[The5thOfficial]

I can see Italy getting nilled here!

 

[munstermuffin]

This is less useful than training session.
Conan has played well with nice hands. Other than that there is nothing good or bad. Just getting job done as expected. Agree with Olyy this will be possibly 10 try hammering.

Italy were good last week for large parts. This week they are well off it.

Last year you struggled to beat France!

You couldn't beat Wales last year!

 

[Groundhog]

You couldn't beat Wales last year!

You couldn't beat us last year!

 

[Tadginator]

Excellent work by Aki. Finally a bit of our centres being creative

 

[Groundhog]

Italy have useless centres

 

[MikeTheNative]

Italy are way too simple in attack. Too many one up forwards running straight into contact, not even any tip passes.

 

[big ginger 8]

Love it, great turnover and then just heads up.

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Italy being embarrassed yet again. The concept of Italian improvement is a myth

 

[ratsapprentice]

Why are the Comms pronouncing Bundee as if they're Irish?

 

[The5thOfficial]

A question: If a losing side score 4 tries do they get a bonus point?

 

[Tadginator]

A question: If a losing side score 4 tries do they get a bonus point?

Yes

 

[MikeTheNative]

A question: If a losing side score 4 tries do they get a bonus point?

Yes, can also get another one by losing 7 or less.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

**** Ireland,
I put my fiver on there to be 5 or more tries in the first half and they had to knock on about a thousand times withe try line begging.
I'm turning over to watch today's big game (Sale vs London Irish)

 

[ncurd]

You couldn't beat us last year!

Yeah but who picked up the trophy after the match?

 

[The5thOfficial]

Yes, can also get another one by losing 7 or less.

Ah.... right!

Yeah those knock ons almost look amatuer.
