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

And another. Steyn has to give that to Jones.

Russel’s passing a bit pish today

How can that be forward if it lands behind him?

Christie has been great today.

Posted: **Sat Mar 16, 2024 5:21 pm**

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

Posted: **Sat Mar 16, 2024 5:21 pm**

Terrible from VDF

Posted: **Sat Mar 16, 2024 5:21 pm**

Christie is a decent player

Knew you'd say that.

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

Posted: **Sat Mar 16, 2024 5:25 pm**

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

Posted: **Sat Mar 16, 2024 5:27 pm**

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.

Posted: **Sat Mar 16, 2024 5:32 pm**

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.

Just fans being fans.

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.

It went over his shoulder but did bounce forward.

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.

Never seen it pinged before

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.

Posted: **Sat Mar 16, 2024 5:52 pm**

Our pull back pass attack has been well and truly worked out now.

Posted: **Sat Mar 16, 2024 5:52 pm**

That's very harsh.

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

Posted: **Sat Mar 16, 2024 5:59 pm**

No try for me, knocked loose.

Was definitely something odd with the tap.

Posted: **Sat Mar 16, 2024 5:59 pm**

Actually dont have an issue with the score except Sheehan surely dummied the tap?

Posted: **Sat Mar 16, 2024 6:00 pm**

Not sure there's any separation. Try.

Posted: **Sat Mar 16, 2024 6:00 pm**

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.

Posted: **Sat Mar 16, 2024 6:00 pm**

Good reffing. D'Arcy being a twat and Hastings.

Posted: **Sat Mar 16, 2024 6:00 pm**

Carly pretty clearly in the way, not sure what hethe discussion with Russell was about
