Honest_Man#1 Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 A lot of posts saying we played well, and I’m far from a rugby expert, but it looked like a lot of basic mistakes were made today at key points when we had pressure, mainly dropping the ball on the try line with nobody making a tackle on us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Gutting but a very good performance especially up front. Fagerson, Cummings, Gray and Ritchie were superb. Price the pick of the backs apart from his daft penalty, his defence is like an extra man compared to Greig. Hastings was nothing more than competent which wasn't enough. Hogg is mentally weak but he played well other than the drop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's both. We played well, but did make key mistakes at key times. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrie Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 I've fifteen minutes to watch and this is painful. Same old shite every game. Handling errors, daft penalties, kicking over the top without any thought- we have virtually zero game management. The Irish may be a shower of wanks but they know how to shitebag for eighty minutes. We can't do it for five. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a tiny part of the game. The main thing is we were excellent in the contact and didn't make too many errors. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russell being a c**t cost us that game because the front five absolutely gave everything. He would have loved that front foot ball but we missed his x factor. Not that Hastings played badly, but it just wasn't enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Played well for so much of the game but we are mentally very weak, make poor decisions and basic errors. With little game management, until all these change, we will continue to be an utter irrelevance.And that is for both the rugby and football teams. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bob Mahelp Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Irish police tonight looking for 15 arseholes who murdered at least 20 points. How painful was that ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honestly united Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Its so frustrating as I think most people expected us to be bent over and given a good seeing too, but the forwards fronted up, and I think we had the upper hand for the most part. I think a lot of it is the players trying too hard with the silly penalties. Prices was stupid, Brown gave away another stupid penalty, Johnson the same sill barge. I thought for once today the ref was good, and didnt let the Irish away with a lot of the usual shit the do which was good to see. The positive is at least it was our own mistakes that cost us the game, and we didnt get rag dolled like we did in Japan. Of the forwards i thought everyone put in a shift, Was suprised when Nel came on, what happened to Bergham? I thought Cummings, Sutherland and Haining as the newcomers didn't look out of place, Hastings I thought was decent, Johnson was excellent. For next week we just need to trust each other more in defence rather than trying to do everything ourselves which leads to the silly penalties. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craven arsehole No, you in the very Dictionary definition of craven behaviour - so lacking in courage to be worthy of contempt- said we were utterly defeated before a ball had been kicked. “Shitebags” like @Mark Connolly suggested we could front up and that is what happened despite ultimately losing in a tight fixture. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although ref missed a couple of game changers eg Stander turn over just before half time where he was the tackler. Berghan was injuries pre kick off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Scotland drew with Japan at the 7s which was enough for 3rd spot in the pool, and have just beat Wales 21-5 to finish 11th in the tourney. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
come on shire Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Ireland are in transition but, despite losing very rarely in Dublin, Scotland should have beat them. Hogg buggered things but we should've scored tries yesterday but made crucial errors in the fine margins of attack. Still kicking too much which gave away possession and forced us to defend as every ball went down the throat of Jordan Larmour. I see why Finn cracked up with Toony last year at Twickers. The positives: Ali Price then George Horne offered a lot more urgency than Laidlaw did. Our scrum was excellent so you can see Pieter de Villiers work there. Defence was also excellent (barring their try) so Steve Tandy's work getting noticed. All foundations to build on for Sat when England visit, and we left Dublin with a losing BP. I was at the Shire game yesterday vs Dalbeattie Star but decided to watch Wales v Italy on BBC iPlayer at the same time. Wayne Pivac still untested as beating the Barbarians doesn't count, and getting a BP win at home to Italy should really just be standard anyway. Italy were beyond hopeless away from home as is usual fare. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
