@ nortie:
Fair point as far as last year is concerned but right now after his injury he is not (yet) at that level imo.

Very true, unorthodox nr 8 but great player

It is the combination of Aussie Loosies, which augment Pocock’s value at No 8… with Hooper and Fardy bringing more than their part to the party too!
I forgot about Pocock as I still see him as an opensider. But he is top class at no 8 too.
@ robzim:
For sure, we certainly missed him during the business end of SR.
One could already see the progress he made between the Samoa game and the one against Scotland.
He will be right back to his best come QF (hoping)
Italy penalty against O’Connell, on the 22

Shame, poor Fardy, he is like the ginger stepchild, the other two get the Pooper monicker and Fardy is the third wheel

Pooper and Farty… freegin hell, sounds like a toilet story!
Hehehe
Italy penalty, deep in the Ireland 22… kicked into the corner!
Overthrow at the lineout and Ireland come away with it…
Ireland better be very careful today, they better start respecting this Italian side very quickly.
Going to take them a while to wear them down.
Italy’s line out costing them big time, in the other facets are are equal or better than Ireland so far. 2 poor line outs cost them a possible 14 point swing around already
Italy scrum now on about halfway…
TMO wants to check a tackle
Penalty only to Ireland…
Long shot at goal for Sexton
Missed, bounces off the lefthand upright!
Obstructive running by Italy, Ireland penalty inside their own half… good touch is found
Ireland penalty advantage…
They go back for the penalty… offside, No 23 offside
Drilled into the corner for a 5m lineout
Conor Murray knocks
Italy scrum penalty… they will want to boot it out, and there will be a final lineout before halftime
Lemoenetyd
OK, see you just now!
2nd Half already almost 2 minutes old…
Deep touch kick by Sexton, out inside the Italy 22, where their lineout will be under pressure.
Italy lineout penalty.
Furno clearly played in the air!
Parisse clears for touch
Bit of a “Nothing Game” thusfar… not very inspiring
