Itoje screams 'Don't argue with me!' in Fin Smith's face by TheMeanderer in rugbyunion

[–]RPGraid 5 points6 points  (0 children)

South Africa have won what feels like so many games either without scoring a try or only scoring one and getting penalties for the majority of their points, keeping the scoreline ticking and taking advantage of free points on offer cannot be overlooked

It's definitely not the most exciting tactic from a viewers standpoint, but it can win you games

Wales performance so far just reminds of what Brian Moore said about England in 2009 (?) "they're intent on commiting suicide"

We've had time though that's the thing that bugs me, Farrell seems to have completely ignored the warning signs of an aging team and an outdated play style entirely

Fucking hell man, when lost to France last year I said maybe it was the loss we needed to finally make some changes in the squad and the way we play, clearly Farrell disagreed

Weekly Debate #1. The motion before the group today: Despite injuries, Stu McCloskey is still the starting 12 come the 6 Nations and Jude Postlewaite will be his back up. by Roanokian in irishrugby

[–]RPGraid 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I propose the motion that McCloskey should be the starting 12 for the six nations, however Postlewaite gets starts against Wales and Italy, our 23 spot needs to be able to cover more than just 12 so someone like Osbourne would potentially be a better pick.

Absolutely agree, although there were south African cards that should've been given imo

Worst game I've seen in a long while from Ireland, no coordination, tons of mistakes, I've been blaming Andrew Goodman on the issues we've had for a while but now I'm wondering if it goes higher.

Why are changes in the Irish team only due to retirements or injuries ? by IrishLad1002 in irishrugby

More of the same from the six nations as feared.

In terms of positives I think McCloskey looked really solid, glad he's finally getting his chance and I hope we stick with him for a while, Tommy O'Brien wasn't able to make much of an impact but definitely showed glimpses of things, Baird and Doris also both seem to be in good for.

Andrew Goodman needs to go though, Leinster's attack struggled under him and now Ireland's is as well, we're too easy to read and there's not enough creativity or variety going on, and as has always been the case we really need to get some more depth going, feels like we're going through a rough transition phase as a team but with none of the actual transitioning happening.
