    My thinking too, unfortunately. Ireland just know how to play against Scotland.

    Ireland under Joe Schmidt were usually very disciplined and did not make many shoot yourself in the foot type mistakes and were good about not giving away bad penalties too often. Scotland for a while now have had a habit of shooting themselves in the foot and not been great with their discipline at times. Ireland under Farrell well who knows really at this point. Hard to make out what sort of side we are right now. So while I would say we are probably still favourites against Scotland it is definitely a game that is up for grabs and that really has not been the case for Ireland v Scotland games for a while now. What will be interesting while Ireland have totally dominated the match up since 2000 winning 18 of the last 22 matches overall the series is level now at 66-66 with 5 draws.

    Scotland beat England and lose to Wales by a point and they’re going to finish 5th?

    Quick maths...

    Happy retirement to Dan Carter. All

    Just finished watching on YouTube living with the pride 2009 about the lions tour to South Africa. Absolutely brutal and even though these lads are huge they don’t look the size of the players now...:eek1: frightening, glad I stuck to the round ball tbh.

    All credit to Wales they have taken advantage of breaks going their way but it is quite remarkable how big the breaks have been for them in all 3 games.
