The Irish commentary on Stan is beyond nauseating.

Christ it’s bad isn’t it? Painting beautiful attacking pictures??? Wtf is that!

Absolute wank material. Makes me long for Nisbo inspired blandness to be honest

@antipodean Berry is in the top 3 of crap refs

Every single tackle ball Berry is telling the Irish to stop doing something - he needs to be reminded that’s he’s the fucking ref, not their coach

Sounds like Justin Harrison drivel.

[stodders]

@MN5 not quite. He doesn’t control well, is overly pedantic and coaches rather than refs

I was clearly being sarcastic ( I thought ) Scots have been fucken hammered here

[stodders]

@MN5 hammered by Berry, right?

Scotland are not smart enough they had penalty chances early in the first half. They turned them down. To beat Ireland you need to make them chase the game. Take your points tackle and be disciplined. Then you'll get chances for trys. Nah we'll try and rumble over in the first 5 minutes against the 2nd best defence in world rugby. Very naïve.

Yes.

What a last quarter they’ve had though !!!

[Donsteppa]

Ireland. Form. The. Lineout. ...

[stodders]

@Donsteppa they did their homework on the ref. They know he warns but doesn’t enforce. They’ve done what they have wanted to.

Sure, but then also we moan when they are too many penalties...

@Mattasaurus can’t concede tries at a crawl

I suppose we live in hope (sometimes in vain) that teams will stop infringing once they get pinged too often.

[stodders]

@Donsteppa only if the ref blows for them

[Mattasaurus]

Oh and here comes the TMO ... its just laughable

[Kirwan]

A bit of column A and column B, Ireland good but Scotland incredibly shit.

Not when they’re awarded to us…

[stodders]

@Kirwan Ireland made them look shit. Right? Like NZ and France made Italy look like shit?

[Mattasaurus]

Well played Ireland- comfortable win.

No cards or injuries to speak of ... crowd is amazing.
Both teams a lot more disciplined that the ABs (18 pens in total ... we do that on our own)
