        <p>France did Ireland at the scrum just like Wales did, esp. for the try.</p>

            Irish Rugby is going backwards fast. Their decline is showing how important BOD and POC were to them.

                <p>Schmidt got shown up for his conservative selection policy in the backs.  He ain't cutting the mustard as a selector at the moment.  Pretty dire game over all.</p>

                    Have to say, the Welsh crowd in full voice beats any fucking anthem, dirge, haka, etc into the hapenny place.

                      PS. Yes to all the above comments. Irish rugby = shit at the moment.

                          <p>better rugby in the first 12 minutes of this game than there was in the full 80 of the last game.</p>

                            Have to say Greg Laidlaw is a joy to watch when he gets going.

                              I'm not an expert on scrummaging but you have to wonder if the crooked feed is actually causing a lot of resets. <br><br>
                              Would strict enforcement of straight feeds force both sides to focus on what the scrum is meant to be about?

                                    <p>Hopefully when North watches the tape back the penny will drop that he's far more dangerous going round players rather than through them.</p>

                                        Enjoyable match. Much more attack by both sides albeit in better conditions.<br><br>
                                        Scotland are crucified by their front row: Ford a lottery at the line-out, and average scrummaging props who are a liability in open play.<br><br>
                                        There are definitely some handy Lions tourists among the Scottish side though.

                                          <p>It would force a hooker to hook. This is one of the reasons why Tom Youngs got dropped. The only reason a half back puts the ball in crocked is because his hooker is weak in this area and most likely he has never learn how to hook.</p>
