Ireland v Scotland match thread

by eirebilly Sat Mar 10, 2012 5:28 pm

Scotland have been playing well and causing alot of teams problems and leading the 6N stats in line breaks.

I am expecting a very open game against Ireland and it could be a high scorer.

Nice Cari

by eirebilly Sat Mar 10, 2012 5:31 pm

Good luck bsando

by Cari Sat Mar 10, 2012 5:32 pm

Oh yeah...good luck Bsandro, but please Scotland, let Tommy get his record Wink

by Shifty Sat Mar 10, 2012 5:32 pm

I'm looking forward to this, I'm not sure which team to support.

I'd like Scotland to get something as they deserve a win, but I think Ireland will be too good for them to be honest. Though Ireland tend to struggle a lot more with Scotland than Wales do.

ALYN!!! Wash your mouth out! There's a bloody Osprey in the Irish team!!! Laugh

Yeah but we have a Scot too in Nikki Walker, and their both leaving us at the end of the season. tomato

by IanBru Sat Mar 10, 2012 5:34 pm

I'm happy for Tommy to get his record, but I'd prefer it to be next week at Twickers...

by Cari Sat Mar 10, 2012 5:35 pm

Awh MY BOY!!!! My Boy's on the telly! Shhhhh!

by Shifty Sat Mar 10, 2012 5:35 pm

Calm down Cari, it's a Tommy Bowe interview... Whistle

by eirebilly Sat Mar 10, 2012 5:36 pm

Suddenly Cari is not so sick Wink

by Cari Sat Mar 10, 2012 5:36 pm

Nikki's not playing though Alyn...and Tommy's been amazing for the O's.

Ok, so we'll want Tommy to get his record, but Scotland to win, to knock Ireland out of championship contention, and to get the win they deserve?

by IanBru Sat Mar 10, 2012 5:37 pm

It would seem that De Luca's been ruled out through injury - Evans to start at OC, with Matt Scott on the bench.

Trying to find a link.

by Cari Sat Mar 10, 2012 5:38 pm

Billy - I'm still sick...feverish, hot and sweaty....oh I do that anyway Wink

Nick De Luca off injured.

by bsando Sat Mar 10, 2012 5:38 pm

Scott on the Bench!! beauty! Hope he gets a run today!

by eirebilly Sat Mar 10, 2012 5:38 pm

I hate this media build up. Tommy is bound not to score now.

by Cari Sat Mar 10, 2012 5:39 pm

Hmmmm T. has a way to go to beat BOD's Irish scoring record, but he's nearer Denis Hickey...

by eirebilly Sat Mar 10, 2012 5:40 pm

Line out is a major concern for Ireland today.

by eirebilly Sat Mar 10, 2012 5:43 pm

'Thats a bit that we are learning' !!!!! Deccies answer to the question about abilities to finish teams off?

Inspiring stuff again from DK Doh

by **George Carlin** Sat Mar 10, 2012 5:46 pm

De Lukewarm out, Matt Scott on the bench, Max Evans moves to 13.

It's been reported on the Beeb now:

Really, really hope Scott gets a chance to show his stuff.

by Shifty Sat Mar 10, 2012 5:52 pm

Can someone please tell me what the first Irish anthem they were playing was, not Irelands call, the other one.

by eirebilly Sat Mar 10, 2012 5:53 pm

by Cari Sat Mar 10, 2012 5:53 pm

by maestegmafia Sat Mar 10, 2012 5:55 pm

Good luck both sets of fans...!

I hope this is everything the last game was not.

by gowales Sat Mar 10, 2012 5:56 pm

Can anyone tell me why they need to do the Presidential salute and hand shake before every single home game?

by Shifty Sat Mar 10, 2012 5:56 pm
