Two pints of lager, is it?

Would appear so. Heuer has taken up residence in my hideyhole

Why we not taking points? We’d be 6-5 up now

Agreed 

Got to win the game first

Morning flounder

Ya got the bacon rolls on?

Urgh this is why you take the points!!

Irish defense when organised like in these scenarios are neigh impenetrable.

Take the bloody points

Are Scotland playing the long game and trying to work the Irish forwards hard before using their 6 replacements to freshen up the pack and dominate the latter exchanges.

Keenan was in touch

Not anymore now we’ve lost two men on the first 20 mins

Not sure Graham was in the 22 there so we'll call that 1-1

Lineout!!!!

There’s always one area we struggle with. Least it’s not restarts now

We're losing all the battles currently. Irish kicking game now on top too.

I'm going back to bed!

We've not learnt any lessons from our last 8 defeats to Ireland so far

We didn't commit enough men to the rucks (again) but Porters hands were on the ground there.

Ah come on. If we’ve got to watch it, so do you

Besides, I feel a second half come back coming on

Relentless from Ireland. We needed to be flawless to have a chance and we've been far from that.

Game over!

Will be really interesting in the next 20 to see how Russell plays.

Hansen comes back on then goes back off, why did the doctors let him go on if there was any doubt.

What was the injury?

You're not a scrumhalf anymore Nic, get out of the way

Head injury, went off for the HIA, came back on then almost immediately pulled himself and said he wasn't right and come off.

The inevitable pointlessness of following Scotland at a WC has resurfaced.

Well done Ireland.

Lads if we managed a comeback at Twickenham we can do it here...

Or we're holding out for the 21 PD? Farrell better not let us down, Toonie promised him a 0.1% cut of Dodson's salary

RDW wrote:Lads if we managed a comeback at Twickenham we can do it here...

Absolutely we can

We won’t though

That wasn't against Globogym!

Three of what tatties drinking.

Double post

Keenan's last try was worth a TMO look surely?

Not that'll make any difference!

This is a superb half from Ireland, a bit of an annihilation of the Scots.

Well he must have passed the HIA. So fair play to him for being honest with himself and saying he wasn't right.

Some times when standing still and walking you can feel ok, but as soon as you try and run your balance is off.

A silly group. Scotland have no business going out at this stage. There's still a whole half to go mind.

That is probably being charitable!

The press: "Scotland have a great chance"

Ireland: "Hold my Guinness"

Huw Jones has been found wanting. Hate to say it but Harris and Steyn should have started.

Guys guys guys.

Chill

It’s all part of the plan

The agreement with Farrell snr was that Scotland would let Ireland have thier 4 tries first. Now in the second half Ireland will let Scotland get 4 tries and 41 points

Thus cementing our Celtic relationship and Rassie’s head explodes

Its a master class again from Sexton, easily the best 10 in world rugby. Such an under rated player.

One half was enough for me!

I wonder what would happen if that actually happened...

SARU to sue Dodson?

We made a better fist of it against the Boks. And we never fired a shot against them.
Let’s win the second half and get the first flight home.

Honestly it would be worth letting that happen just to see Rassie's video

What is it with Irish injuries and players out of position when we play Scotland these days

Well that's all just stupid.

There's nothing else to look at, bar I'd say a guy being pushed over the hoarding. Think 1 yellow for all that is quite lenient.

So stupid from Smith 

This could be 50+

Where’s the card for sexpest for the push?

Get the subs onnnnnn!!!!!

Ollie Smith is thicker than a boxing day Sh1te there.

This is going to get ugly and embarrassing for Scotland, and quite rightly so.

The push was well deserved, Schoeman should have been carded though. Dangerous from him.
