    No doubt they are a more complex side now under Farrell than they were under Schmidt

        Scotland backs showing NZ how not to defend. Plus they just can’t create anything to save themselves.

          Lol I don’t know who the commentator is but far out he’s fluffing Ireland. Sounds like they are the best team to ever play the game, the games already over etc.

          Well if they win the WC and take the unbeaten record in this competitive era I suggest they could be considered one of the best ever.

              No need to review the obstruction by Aki or the grounding there

                Just in case you didn’t hear it, this game is over.

                Not sure why the Scotland players even put on the jersey today.

                  @ACT-Crusader His control skills are the best but to say he is Better than Carter on attack is a stretch.

                      Hmmm TMO not even checking the grounding etc, just popping my tinfoil hat on for a second.... do the ABs or even SA get a TMO free pass like the 1st or last Irish try?

                        I wouldn't put him ahead of Larkham either tbh - .. still one of the greats - but a very different player to peak Carter or Larkham ... more of a Wilkinson type of player -- but that may be my SH biases showing

                        @Mattasaurus Sexton can do some of what Carter did. Carter could do everything Sexton does.

                            Ireland are outstanding. They must be massive favourites to win the RWC now.

                                I would take Carter all day long, but you have to admit the way Sexton controls this Irish team he is like a composer.

                                  I find it very hard to believe we will have the physicality, discipline or even game plan to beat them.

                                        Same way you beat any other Rugby team: better them up front, win the collisions, take your chances ruthlessly.

                                          @chimoaus not disputing Sexton is v good. He’s just not in the same conversation as Carter IMO. Carter could win a game on his own behind a retreating pack. Sexton needs his armchair.
