The Rugby Thread

What the **** is the TMO watching?

Was an excellent 6N this year - I agree France just about deserved it - but Scotland v France game was the best match - amazing non-stop skillful rugby !

[Buzzo]

I think the French deserved it also… just.

They were rattled yesterday and last week after being so dominant in the first few games.

[Sus]

Yep agreed Buzzo. That was a brilliant tournament, and a Saturday for the ages

I really thought England had done enough, poor Irish. Though I think France deserved it overall

Love this tournament

[Buzzo]

A tournament for the ages tho. Tons of try’s and talking points.

With Wales making massive strides nexxt years could be nuts. If you are .5% off you are cooked.

[Irishnev]

Yeah that was outstanding from the first minute to the last. England finally arrive at the tournament they were superb today.

Would be some team that could beat both of those teams.

Ramos with balls of steel with that kick at the end. Maro up trying to spoil so massive delay. And he split the posts.

Finn Smith butchered three relatively simple cons in the first half which would probably won it for them.

L-B-B’s try scoring record is a joke.

Two of those Smith kicks were very gettable. Ramos and in fairness Russell Ars superb goal kickers

What a ****ing game - it shows that you need to go after them, we tried to contain them and got thumped. England and Scotland (in particular) showed the way

Biele Barry is a joke

[Mark79]

My word

[Buzzo]

A really strong first half from England. Pretty much undone in the last few seconds…

[Buzzo]

Wales on fire! 21-0

[Buzzo]

Yeah it’s a tournament of very fine margins. Thought our first try suggested we would match you up front as it was a great pack effort - but you came back and scored a couple of first phase try’s which I think we will be disappointed with.

Not sure where it leaves us over all. Some highs. Some lows.

[Irishnev]

Yeah you do. Definitely feels like I’ve seen this movie before - But a well deserved win for you guys.

I think you won the game in the first half. We threw everything we had second half but the scoreboard pressure was too much.

I think we missed Cummings and Brown quite a bit, but you guys were very good. JGP had a top game again and Beirne as you say.

You just need the English to provide for you now!

I was doom and gloom coming into the tournament and dead in the water post French game. We blooded a load of new players and have a triple crown.

Ultimately we beat ye up front again, we seem to always have the edge in the pack. JGP was excellent and Stewy Mac has had a brilliant tournament.

France for me are still the top side for me and Italy were such fine margins away from beating us and even vs France.

Some game but ye must ****ing hate us, we seem to raise our game vs ye and play our best. Taidgh Beirne is nightmare to play against
