Graham stepping well
Scotland vs Ireland 6N 2026
Scotland goes to the side where they have 2 attackers against 5 defenders, Beirne turns them over again but they had a penalty advantage.
Slooowwww ball for Scotty.
Scotty again had numbers but Tuipolotu carries into contact instead of feeding Jones.
Russell finally over. Great conversion, 19-14
Now we have a game
Try Ireland. 26-14
That was really weak initial defense from Scotland ….they were on the halfline
What a ball to Steyn by Tuipolotu.
Yeah Scotty will have to find a way to shut Ireland down if they want a hope here.
They get a try back now, Darge over. Great sustained pressure. Now they need to tighten up and not let Ireland in again.
Balacoune guilty there of getting drawn in by a man already covered. 26-21
Well done finally but there was a huge overlap in that second to last movement.
Jones knocks it off the kickoff. Precisely what you don't want.
Itreland due to make a mistake, they have been pretty flawless.
McCloskey dominating Tuipolotu.
Brilliant offloading Ireland, and O'Brien in. Scotland's not gonna pull this one back. All started from a charged down boxie followed by a missed Russell touch.
That kick by Russell which didn’t find touch just had the feel of being a big mistake.
Straight running right to the line - maybe our constantly crabbing players can learn something.
3 here for Ireland and that's the game.
33-21. Clinical performance by Ireland, too much skill and firepower.
Scotty with the full team maul. Ireland repels them.
McCloskey and the Italian 12 looking like the best in the game
Beirne not being up for MOTM is ridiculous. Another lock fetching the shit out of it.
Oi Oi Oi Oiland
Good game, Ireland starting to find form despite their players aging. Starting to become a contender for WC
Somebody has to come up with some new close to the line tactics…how about one man screaming across the back at pace…this forward stuff is so toothless
Scotland will be regretting their poor effort against Italy in round 1 I'm sure. Need to be switched on in every game.

Ireland's been pretty good at taking it wide at the right time - Scotland not at all. Meanwhile Tuipolotu drops it and Ireland finishes wide. Tuipolotu has had a very average game.
If there is a player of the game….my non player of the game would be the dominated Tuipolotu
Yeah McCloskey has been beastly.
Anyway, fine game of rugby, impressive from Ireland.
You’re on your own with France Pakie…I’ll be watching on record. Cheers.
Hopefully that social butterfly Plummie has finished entertaining guests by then. Enjoy, Moz.
