Ireland v Scotland

Scotland will be aiming to finish the season on a high.
I think a 60 point margin is definitely on the cards.
Yeah seems about right, though Ireland only scored 4 tries against 14 man Eng, so maybe they’ll only win by 40 ish. But 40-60 to Ireland does seem right

Why is this a surprise?
Russell has been 5/10 at best
-
@mikethesnow russel at 5/10 is better than most after 10s

Kinghorn is the surprise. Hastings a surer bet imo

Obviously not, as rank outsider Kinghorn is preferred

14-5 HT. Scotland starting well, lots of possession. Ireland looking a bit more likely to score when they have the ball.
-
Hogg is SO ball greedy. 3 on 1 and goes himself. Try wouldn’t have counted anyway.
Would have counted after all. So poor.

Brilliant refereeing from Barnes

Bonus point win for Ireland in what was not a great performance again, but it seems not to matter, 26-5. Over to France now to decide the championship. Come on England!!
-
Worst ireland performance in a long time but still managed to just about get the bonus point. Not a great 6 nations for the Scots.

Don’t come here with your bullshit talk @profitius the mighty Scots lit up the tournament by beating England which basically made them the envy of the whole Six nations.
Anything else was a bonus, they’ll still be singing on the streets of Edinburgh after that performance.

Ireland aren't all that from my viewing of their last few games. Scots were about as headless as you get overnight. They struggled to put away a 14-man England, and were rubbish against Italy despite the overwhelming advantage they had in numbers.
France took them apart, and Wales were poo in that game.

France took them apart? Wow! Ireland pushed France right to the end, in Paris btw, and could have won that game with better game management. No team has been that close to beating France on their home soil recently so you are way off the mark with that throwaway comment. As for struggling to beat 14 man England? Look at how Wales struggled to beat 14 man Ireland in Cardiff last year. England were bouyed by the frantic home crowd and manned up for the Irish game. Most teams would struggle to beat a 14 man England in Twickenham, they don't just roll over and die ffs.
Ireland haven't played their best this tournament but still outscored everyone in tries in every game, inc France. 24 tries compared to 17 for France and the rest not even close. That's not playing well. Imagine what they can do when they do play well....
