@Koochulainn It's a weird one, lots to be positive about but somehow feel a little flat after that. Probably because the scoreline should have been higher for us. Anyhoo, I'm sure I'll appreciate the positives more tomorrow. #IREvITA #Rugby #6Nations
I encourage all of you to look over the stats from that game. Italy don't look that bad until you see the metres made or tackles made stats (also lineout).
They're not getting turned over at the ruck, the scrum is holding up, they gave less penalties than Ireland,...
But if you don't get into the 22 you aren't scoring
Ireland 36 Italy 0
You've got to feel sorry for the Italian goalkeeper.
I think that's a full 1/3 of Lineouts Italy has cocked up
Brex is psychic. Only possible explanation for his defensive work.
