Stuart Hogg is so selfish it’s unbelievable. And by all accounts, particularly the latest leaks of disciplinary problems amongst the Scot’s squad, is a selfish man…family man he is not.
Yeahhh I think the angles helped him get away with that. One looked conclusive but Barnes used the other two to let him off the hook."Bracing for impact"
Wtf

Ireland lineouts inside the 10 have been so bad
This year he hasn't fit into Scotland gameplan. I don't if it makes sense but it's as if they play at 14+1.
Also surely they should be taking the points on some occasions
Great finish VDF
Our scrum again, yeesh.
Scotland should be sacked.
That penalty just sums up our campaign. Laughable 
That’s a yellow at the very least
Barnes has decided to give no cards today.
Unfortunate timing.
About time.
I can't account for Scotland pushing him too far.
To be fair he tried his best not to give a card there
Savage from Murray.
It was just funny that I saw the post about 3 seconds before he gave the yellow. You're right that it could have happened a lot earlier.
And James Lowe too, brilliant offload.
Yes, my timing was perfect.
Any other ref and the way POM was tackled would be a yellow
He reminds me of Darwin Nunez at Benfica
Ireland were poor but still won very comfortably.
It's just very nice heads-up rugby. He was never not looking for that and he got rewarded.
Stupid amount of work to do for Ireland if they even want to dream of getting to a 1/4 final in the World Cup. Sloppy as feck in open play, set pieces an absolute joke and an inability to get our wingers consistently into the game. Embarrassing tournament for us overall. Only positive is usually we are the best team in the World at this point before the World Cup, so nice to have a lot to improve on. However probably much too much to improve on to have any hope in France.
Lots of positives for Ireland in this championship, a few new players brought through. I'm so delighted for Hansen.
And yet, some absolutely massive negatives in that we're no closer to building up replacements for Sexton and now our scrum is melting.
Surely if Carbery is on the bench, he has to get a proper go at 10. It's brainless.

Yeah, I'm going to say my weekly "We're fecked at the WC" again. This is the finger-in-the-ears-la-la-la style of building up to a WC.
It is indeed.
I want to keep being so so negative that we end up having to be good at the World Cup!!! Agreed on Joey though, he needs to be starting the tour in the Summer and most of all we need him to stay fully fit for Munster until the World Cup. He certainly has the talent to be a great back up 10. I'd be starting Casey in the summer too and Lowry and Balacoune and Coombes. Use it as a real chance to blood those players.Ireland are favorites for the WC and the next Six Nations, I don't see anyone beat them.
I’d also be bringing one of if not both of the young Munster fly half’s on tour.
You’ve just beaten them?
Fell asleep for ten minutes during that. Covid fecking me up.
Irish seemed fairly poor but never in doubt.
English fan now. Should be well up for doing us a favour, those 800 years of a shared travel area means we are best of friends. Time to really rub Brexit in on these french lads.

It's the past, we are talking about the future.
I still feel three 9 should be ahead of Casey.
Stoooooooooop.
I think you’re trying the “oh, they’re favourites, we’re the poor ‘ickle underdogs“ strategy. Not falling for it
On the contrary I doubt France even concede a score against them on their way to a World Cup whitewash!
Embarrassing tournament for you overall maybe…
On a serious note. Ireland will be a pain for all the other supposed favorites. It will be interesting to see if one of South Africa, New Zealand, France and Ireland enter the competition as the actual favorite.
england are strong favourites for me. over the past 4 years we’ve only lost to teams that are better than us.
