Ireland (0) 7 – 8 (0) Scotland (15′)
A try for the Scots, the first they’ve scored since the Wales game! Ford winds a turnover and he offloads to Morrison at the 10m line who finds himself in acres of space on the right hand touchline, he makes it up to the 22 and offloads to the supporting Beattie, he looks like he’s going to be stopped short, but somehow the big Glasgow number eight drags three tacklers over from about five metres out to touch down.
Well, I feel bad about saying that this was unlikely to be a tryfest, we’ve got two already and both seems look set on throwing it around and keeping it in hand, great stuff. Scotland nearly have another break from the kickoff and Morrison latches on to a bouncing ball, but can only offload to O’Connell.
This is crazy stuff, almost like a Sevens game – Barclay knocks it on in the tackle just outside the Irish 22 and the Irish backs immediately counter, shipping it out to Earls who shows great pace on the left hand touchline to beat the defender on the outside – he’s nearly clean through but he’s snagged, who offloads to D’Arcy, who’s also tackled, who throws a speculative offload behind him that’s knocked on by Scotland.
24
Ireland are unrecognisable from the team we’ve seen for the last few weeks – they’re looking to attack from everywhere and running some lovely patterns. Bowe comes off his wing and bursts through a gap, offloading to O’Driscoll just behind the 10m line, but he’s snagged.
23
Unfortunately I’m going to have to just waffle at you for a minute, we’ve entered the first period of mindlessly resetted scrums, but at least it’s only three times…
21
Sexton kicks for the corner and O’Connell makes no mistake with the lineout inside the 22, but Tommy Bowe knocks the ball on as he runs onto it to waste the opportunity.
20
Ireland manage to secure their own ball but Sexton nearly gives Scotland another chance, throwing a pass to no-one that de Luca only just fails to get to. They kick long and Southwell is penalised for not releasing just inside the Scottish half.
26
Oh what a waste, Ireland are loose with the ball in possession and Scotland can clear their lines, but de Luca’s kick is too long and it rolls over the dead ball line, giving Ireland another platform inside the Scottish half.
27
Ireland get some joy at the scrum and win a kickable penalty, but again Sexton kicks for the corner, he was awful from the tee last week, but surely they’ve got to start taking the points?
29
Another Irish penalty, just inside the Scottish half but in front of the posts. Scotland were penalised for going in off their feet. Sexton will kick for goal, smart move.
28
Sure enough, Scotland do a great job with the defensive lineout, win the ball and de Luca clears up to halfway – might Ireland regret that? They are still losing…
Naand Superbul
Good work in progress here superBul….
The later France v England match will be carnage I fear….France have got it all going on for them at the moment!
31
Scotland look energised by that miss, they secure the restart and start pounding and probing the Irish line, with Lamont and Evans both coming in off their respective wings looking for work.
30
The slight young Leinster halback is having a nightmare with the goalkicking of late, and so it continues, that was from a fair way out, but it couldnt have been more central, he shades it wide though – you just can’t miss those in international rugby.
Good evening Blue Bird 🙂
Hallooooooooooooo Superbul 👿
Another lady, great….Very good evening to you Karen!! 😆
I’bve always liked the scots, lots of passion, almost like the kenian cricket team come wc time. But they just dont have the resources. What is their national sport? Is it poofball too?
Nice to meet you Blue Bird – it is a great evening here 🙂
Hey Karen was jy op Nuweland? Baie geluk jou span speel te hard jong, hoe gaan die lyfies hou?
34
Another early hit at the scrum from Ireland, how hard is it to listen to the ref? Scotland signal they want another penalty, they seem to have an edge here. Hayes is going too early almost every time for Ireland and Jonathan Kaplan’s all over it, the big Munsterman is rapidly turning into a liability at the scrum today…
37 7 – 11
Parks – penalty goal
Ireland (0) 7 – 11 (0) Scotland (38′)
Ja Superbul was daar – dankie jong maar ek weet self nie hoe hulle gaan hou nie – moet se Schalk het ‘n brilliant game gehad 🙂
Oh ja my oom het vanoggend vir my ‘n moerse geskenk gegee – die amptelik program tussen die Bokke vs All Blacks 29 Augustus 1970 – dit het maar 20c gekos. Gaan dit nou raam saam met my ander rugby aandenkings. Jis dis awesome man.
Geluk met jou span gisteraand
Are you enjoying the sun? If you are the Keo Karen, you are a Stormers supporter. Glad they had a win again today!
Yes I was enjoying the sun at Newlands and yes I am a Stormers supporter. Well was nervous about today seeing SA derbys are always tough. Ok I see you are Blue so I assume you are a Bulls supporter then – if so congrats with your team last night.
40+1 7 – 14
Parks – drop goal
Ireland 7 – 14 Scotland (HT)
