RWC Week 5: Ireland v Scotland
-
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?

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

@chimoaus discipline

@chimoaus discipline
And put points on them early.

No doubt they are a more complex side now under Farrell than they were under Schmidt
@kiwiinmelb Mike Catt is their attack coach

@KiwiMurph man I hope we beat them next week. They need humbling.
To be fair though they look booody good.

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

I’m just hoping it isn’t embarrassing like this.

Ireland are outstanding. They must be massive favourites to win the RWC now.
@voodoo was being a bit lenient, forget $1.05, they should be $1.01

@stodders said in RWC Week 5: Ireland v Scotland:
@chimoaus better control than Carter? Really?
I would take Carter all day long, but you have to admit the way Sexton controls this Irish team he is like a composer.

True, and I think you understated Sextons excellence, he’s not just better than Carter was, he’d also make a better 7 than Richie and could probably play hooker in a pinch

It’s a bit difficult to visualise right now ,
It’s like our one trick is to open the game up and run teams off their feet , but it’s not like they don’t know what’s coming

@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.

Fair enough but I think peak Carter happened behind some very good AB forwards.

Speed of Habana and power of Lomu is what I’m hearing too
