Bar the double yellow => red with Munster back in October, his disciplinary record is pretty clean. Don't think he's ever been cited for Ireland and has only received two yellows for Ireland.
OK. But I’ll probably start at the back and see if I get to “unhinged” firstTorquemada 1420 wrote: ↑Sun Feb 07, 2021 5:42 pmThe only thing backwards is you.

PS Suggest you buy a book called a "dictionary" and learn to use it and then look up "sarcasm".
Just in case you didn't notice there were no fucking fans you utter fucking prick,.
No arms late chop hit on Hogg that put him out of the 6 Nations a couple of years back. Raking the face vs Sarries for Munster. Shoulder to the head of a player on the ground v Scarlets. Shot on the Connacht flanker in 019.Uncle fester wrote: ↑Sun Feb 07, 2021 6:03 pm Can you point to these cheap shots?
Bar the one I mentioned obviously.
I think you're confusing angry faces and shirt tugging with actual cheap shots.

I did consider it. I thought it was more likely to lead to confusion though. Now wondering whether picking a Welsh language name was a good idea at all!bessantj wrote: ↑Sun Feb 07, 2021 7:30 pmYou know I thought you may have gone with Albanwr.
If you beat Scotland; you'll have Pivac for the next 4 years; mull on that !Line6 HXFX wrote: ↑Sun Feb 07, 2021 10:48 pm I mean it wasn't pretty, it wasn't skillfull, it certainly wasn't ambitious, it gives you as much for confidence for the future as a bloodied shart..but it was a win, it worked itself out in the end.. and so on we go..
Thinking ahead..
Gawd I love it when we beat Scotland.
Just entertaining the possibility of Wales beating them (hopefully with some massive controversy) makes me just smile.
It is all because of that deluded mouthy cunt Andy Nicol. I am sure the rest of Scotland is fine.

No worries. My username is also Welsh (though it’s the Welsh for ‘Scotland’) so I guess it’s not that much of a leap. I did say it was entertaining for the neutral though, and I’d never be so classless as to congratulate my own team on a match fredOpenside wrote: ↑Sun Feb 07, 2021 11:21 pmApols I am on an iPhone 4 the avatars are fecking tiny I could only just about make out a dragon so assumed you were Welsh.![]()

Nice try on the mockers there. The fixture list means the 2 toughest teams (pre tournie) are both away from home. I'll settle for no brainfarts and more of what Cretin said:
And when he was having a toddler tantrum after Barnes (who I thought had a stormer) correctly called a knock on , it genuinely looked like Sexton was on the verge of tears
Fit or not, it's folly for Ireland to pursue using him when he'll be 37 come the RWC, regardless of how weak they think the other options at 10 are.laurent wrote: ↑Mon Feb 08, 2021 12:45 pm It's rather well known that he is thoroughly unlikeable...
Now the big Question around these parts is: is he really fit to play next Sunday?
I doubt it but I do believe the IRFU may be willing to ignore that.
On the French Side it's likely to be same 23 this coming Sunday.
You really are obsessed. I’m convinced Russell pumped your Mrs, or at least she would like him to.Torquemada 1420 wrote: ↑Mon Feb 08, 2021 9:01 am Wondering what Wales can take from that.
Once POM was off, Ire were always only ever left with trying to keep possession and playing narrow: which they did very well for extended periods until Burns came on.
Playing narrow meant Wales should never have been unduly troubled (moment of genius aside) in defence and they did that job very well. Maybe 2 or 3 games ago they would have failed?
However, that they ended up making by far the most tackles and ceded the majority of possession to a side down to 14 men showed a paucity of tactical nous as well as a lack of cohesive attacking threat.
So Pivac starts out (laudably) trying to emulate the Scarlets and ends up with a horribly leaky defence and this time manages a (assisted by POM) sound defence but sheds any real threat.
Await with interest what the plan against the Sweaties might be other than to rely on a couple of intercepts gratis of Russell.
The intercept maestro was Chris Cussiter, your 9 rather than 10, and it was 2 rather than 3 intercepts. He was a good player, but had a nightmare against Italy in 2007 when he gave away two intercept tries in quick succession to help Italy to a 21 - 0 lead after just 8 minutes at Murrayfield (the first try was conceded by the Scottish 10 after just 20 seconds).Yr Alban wrote: ↑Mon Feb 08, 2021 2:28 pmYou really are obsessed.

I recall a Scotland 10 giving away three interception tries in one match. It wasn’t Russell though. Although I’m sure he has thrown one at some point, I’m struggling to recall when. He’s considerably more likely to win us the game against Wales (or anyone else, for that matter) than to lose it.
Well, I guess I’ve tried to forget the game harder than you. In my head it was Phil Godman who threw the three intercepts. Probably because Cusiter was a good player, and Godman wasn’t.Lobby wrote: ↑Mon Feb 08, 2021 9:31 pmThe intercept maestro was Chris Cussiter, your 9 rather than 10, and it was 2 rather than 3 intercepts.
