Pass the bloody ball. Kinghorn is in if McDowall passes it.

How can that be forward if it lands behind him?

That's nonsense. Schoeman head only came after Furloung completely dropped his bind.

So Scotland aren't allowed decoy runners, even when they stop no tackles from occurring?

Players should be penalised for deliberately dropping to the ground ahead of a tackle.

Sheehan wasn't just in at the side there here he had just about gone to the end of the pitch before coming back.

You have to pass behind them not run behind them.

A lot of moaning Myrtles on this thread, complaining over nothing.
Good defences in this match, but everything else average.

Scotland blanket defence very effective against Irish constant wrap-around passing. Boks should look at this for the Summer rather than their usual rush defence.

This game has precious little else for them anyway

Agreed.

I had it in my mind it was already illegal but I couldn't find it in the laws.

Saw (heard) a very bad injury at club level caused by ball carrier diving at the lower legs of the tackler. We heard the bones break in the stands.

Player in front has to prevent a defending player from making a tackle for it to be obstruction though. That wasn't the case there.

We really are our own worst enemies. Win 3 clean lineouts at the front so what do we do on our own line? Throw it long. So stupid. That said our defence so far has been good. Christie has been terrific. Wish Dugan wouldn’t get himself isolated. Doesn’t always have to take the nuclear option

Duhan is believing too many of his own headlines and thinks he has to do it all. Running across the field in the face of a set defence will cost us.

Yeah, and taking the ball away from his forwards while doing it.

Really impressive when some people don't look their age. Tahd Furlong looks easily 50.

That's just terrible from Carley. Completely dismissing the suggestion of a knock on until Dickson steps in. Even if is a try it's poor refereeing.
