Italy should be odds on, Ireland bench is almost empty after half an hour.
|
|
By:
If this was any other team than Italy they would be massive odds-on. If only betfair had provided us with a handicap market of any use.
|

By:
Bizarre first half, Italy should really have scored a try when BOD was off and midfield were all over the place. Cant for the life of me understand why they kicked the ball away when they have the extra man.
poor from BOD , frustrated,silly and petulant but hardly nasty. Terrible lineout and no faith in Jackson, seems that the back row are in the first reciever position more often than jackson. The Irish forwards just dont offload, parisse has offloaded more in 3 games than the whole Irish pack has in 4 games. Terrible and if they get out of jail here it will be amazing. |
|
By:
BOD stamped on a defenceless player, who was on the ground, without provocation.
It was some time ago though. |
|
By:
I couldn't find it on youtube but he was playing for Ireland.
|
|
By:
its like watching a replica game of the italy v england game. all the united kingdom teams have struggled against italy
whats going on??? |
|
By:
If only Castro was on the bench, you'd really fancy the Iraly scrum to see them home.
Injuries for Ireland at the moment: Fitzpatrick, POC, DOC, Tuohy, Ferris, Reddan, Sexton, D'Arcy, Marhsall, Earls, Bowe. Probably a couple more I can't think of... |

There was a bit of a debate about O'Driscoll stamping on Ongaro way back in 2006 CC, but that's about all I can find. Don't think he was banned for it.
|
|
By:
I didn't mean to be arrogant about it cc. I thought you were having a cheap dig. I'll have a think about it and see if I can remember anything. For the life of me, I don't think he is a dirty player though
|
|
By:
If he was genuinely dirty, over 13 years he would have picked up some bans for sure.

Kearney playing himself off the Lions tour this 6 nations.
|
|
By:
If Italy stop passing the ball to Orquera they may win this. Takes awful options time after time.
|
|
By:
I hate Rob Kearney
|
|
By:
Italy should be doing everything in their power to attack down the right wing with POM defending there
|
|
By:
How have they not scored there?
|
|
By:
TRY for me.
|
|
By:
they will h ave to give this
|
|
By:
Erm, who the hell knows?
I imagine it got there, but it's how that is the problem. Barnes's question may decide it. |
|
By:
Well done Italy, thought they had botched that.
|
|
By:
That's all down to Rob Kearney inviting that pressure. Useless coont.
|
|
By:
Come on Ire let's see some spirit now
|
|
By:
Ireland have to let these young backs play how they lie by running the ball, gotta let them play their natural game.
|
|
By:
Two best players on the pitch do the two silliest things of the game.
|
|
By:
Talking of good players with nasty in them.....look no further than Parisse
|
|
By:
Gives Ire some hope
|
|
By:
Ireland have a chance with Madigan in there, he will create chances if the forwards give him ball.
|
|
By:
O'Brien's forearm went straight into the tacklers face there and it's not the first time that's happened. One day he will either do some nasty damage or get himself sent off.
|
|
By:
How did Ireland not get a pen from that scrum?
|
|
By:
Italy hitting the self destruct button here.
|
|
By:
If the Italians stay bound and stay down then there is no pen to give
|
|
By:
The problem with that pen is that Lo Cicero isn't actually holding the ball. Defenders just get an automatic pen if they get there first and cant pick it up. It's O'Driscoll's own fault that he has put his arm through the players legs.
|
|
By:
15 against 13 there and jackson kicks it out, no tactical awareness from the Irish there at all
|
|
By:
Italy are going to pot
|
|
By:
Definitely a case of who loses it, not who wins it, at the moment.
|
|
By:
Erm, if his hand is on it is out? No? ok...
|
|
By:
3 for the annoying one................damn damn damn
|
|
By:
HOW THE FOOK IS THAT NOT YELLOW?
|
|
By:
Italy cannot handle Madigan
|
|
By:
For a guy who loves giving yellows, that is disgraceful
|
|
By:
Madigan does look very sharp
|
