Throw a punch or play on lads. Shoving and promises is a waste of everyone's time. Now the officials will waste time checking something that was an absolute nothing burger instead of just getting o n with it.
A yellow? Fuck this game has gone soft.
Fuck me, that's a yellow, might as well be playing tiddlewinks
Sheehan scores. Too easy.

Absolute bollocks yeah, does nothing for the game that.
Closer to the ruck is where the gaps are Scotty. Out wide it's all green.
Entire Ireland bench on it seems.
Scots weakest link at 14 limps off.
Scotland finally looking to score, one offload short. Penalty 5.
And now they lose it. Best opportunity of the game gone.
Ireland getting away with side entry there.
Sweet chip to Ringrose, great score. Noticeable again how Ireland pops the pass in the tackle where most teams would just bash into the tackle and go to ground to set up again. Relentless momentum.
Finally a Scotty try. Ireland has lost their defensive shape just a little since the bench came on. 36-7
Scotland fight back with 2 back to back tries
Scotty scores a l ength of the field try. Sensational.
Ollie Smith the spark for Scotland.
The benches have had opposite effects - rejuvenated Scotland and disjointed Ireland.
Yes, it is clear that Ireland's starting team is a good bit better than the bench.
Irelands defence not as good with the subs, although a few might be playing out of position as well
They didn't lose shape. They just powered intensity a bit against a very good Scot side.
