You don't warn a team if you aren't prepared to follow through with that warning - Dupont should have seen yellow. He is considered one of the top 15 refs in the world (as are the rest selected). With the Six Nations getting used by World Rugby to decide what 12 refs go o the World Cup 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Lambies Doos Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 Think we will beat the Irish, if not, this tournament would have to go down as meh. A triple crown and a psychological blow to Ireland pre World cup would be tremendous. If we want respect we simply have to win this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Win by 1 point would be fantastic for the teams mental strength, which I do think has improved already this year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingscot Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Apparently the Irish media are arguing to themselves again that we're arrogant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honestly united Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 I think mentally this group are tougher but obviously still prone to mistakes. They are top ranked team for a reason, but they look significantly better with Sexton on the park. If we can keep the scoreboard close until he goes off about the hour mark we are in with a chance, but if we let them build any sort of lead they'll shut us down with their lying on the ball, slowing things down etc. Also we need to avoid any sort of arm wrestle up front, and keep the ball moving where possible - or go fully the opposite as they are probably planning on a quick game 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
come on shire Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Pleased with the squad for tomorrow night. Lots of international experience. We need to target the bonus point win. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
come on shire Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 I'm not too familiar with Zebre's team considering they'll contribute Italian internationalists tbh. However I've noticed they've got Matt Kvesic in the back row. Is this a new signing? He's a decent player. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GAD Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 George Horne kind of showing why he's not quite there for Scotland. Box kicking still not on point, makes some sloppy mistakes like that scrum turnover and he's not really a good enough goalkicker to get the nod because of that as a backup to Finn. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's something odd going on in the scrum. As well as the one against the head, the ball has bounced back into the tunnel from the 2nd row a couple of times 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These days when you can basically put it straight into the second row that shouldn't be happening, but maybe it is harsh just to blame him I suppose. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might be right, but at the scrum after, Matthews definitely struck for it, it went into the second row then came hurtling back forward! There's something not quite right, so hopefully Horne and Matthews will have a chat at HT about the best way to acceptably cheat at the scrum in the 2nd half 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAD Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 Horne was good there mind you. It's funny watching us being the big shitfesting suffocating team scoring three off rolling mauls. If some Irish team had being doing this to us I'd be calling them boring and whining about the ref, but I like it when it's the other way round. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sextons stats in last 2 six nations have been a bit meh..., Hes playing with some great players, and dont think he's currently any better than Ross Byrne. Irish still convinced we are talking ourselves up... Scotland by 5 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
