[Clifferd]

Lol Italy are so shit. Expected way better

That winger is having a mare. Why is he so far in?

 

[Pedge1971]

To be fair Ireland are playing very well. Very smart spine.

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

Big toe on the line. That was close.

 

[King hit]

That just needs benny hill music

 

[Tenacious Titans]

Jack Johns is shit

Their halves are crap. Like most of the minnows, they might have a couple of good to great forwards and backs but the halves are where its make or break.

 

[King hit]

That's the only blemish on Irelands first half.

 

[Tenacious Titans]

dumb unnecessary pass

 

[Pedge1971]

Jack Johns is shit

Getting a kesson in HB play from Finn.

 

[Pedge1971]

Turning point?

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

Jack Johns is shit

Feel for him a bit. Ireland are doing a great job of targeting him at every oppotunity and I imagine he's being asked to do everything that they planned for Campese to do.

That's a lot for a kid to handle when he's not being given any real support from the other half/hooker.

 

[King hit]

Normal business will now resume

 

[Tenacious Titans]

Getting a kesson in HB play from Finn.

Finn looks good, very controlled.

 

[King hit]

Great first half from Ireland

 

[no name]

Dunno if that was the best tactic.
Better off just attacking to the left again.

 

[Pedge1971]

Really like the way Ireland are going about their business. Spine has been great but the forwards have impressed in how they have gotten on top against some so called much bigger names.

Tedesco has been marked out of the game. Italy have a huge breeze in the 2nd half so in with a sniff if they can score next and hold the ball.

Took the long odds, why would Italy be so short? Dumb bookies

 

[Pedge1971]

You mean those dumb bookies who make hundreds of millions off mug punters?

 

[Rory]

HAHAHA. Every motherf**ker tipped Italy, because of like 4 players. Jack Johns has been talked up, and has been absolutely putrid. There outside backs are being destroyed from the combo of Grix and Finn, and Oli roberts and LMS are having a field day!
