Emerging Ireland v Emerging Italy - Georgia Saturday 13th Ju

[Donny B.]

Great. Feed went down just long enough to completely miss the try!

Scrum, McGrath to JJ, cross kick to Conway, one step inside the fullback and one step to dot down

Cheers

[Donny B.]

To quote Homer Simpson, I've seen plays more interesting than this. PLAYS!!!

[Dave Cahill]

The second half is extremely tedious alright.

[Dave Cahill]

...and just as we say that, something happens...

[Dave Cahill]

O'Halloran scores in the corner and its now all over, 0-25

What is the point of this tournament? Full time pros from Ireland put up against amateurs/semi pros from the other 3 nations and no tv. Bring back the Churchill cup!

Part of the IRFU's commitment to developing the game. I think our participation in tournaments like this is good for the sport but the "Emerging" thing is a bit pointless. We already have the senior team, the A team and the U20s.

There's an argument for sending an Irish Club XV made up of amateurs and academy players instead - similar to the sides we put out in the club internationals around the 6Ns.

Not sure why he's ahead of Cooney, but I'd reckon it's great for Luke McGrath's development to be getting games like this and the BaaBaas. We saw with Murray & Marmion what game time can do so hopefully he's improved for the start of the year.

Hope the squad are alright. Flash floods in Tbilisi yesterday killed eight people with 30 animals escaping from the local zoo.

That is a but unfair on the hippo.

[Fireworks]

On a serious note. I hope the guys are safe. I wonder if the rest of the games will go ahead considering what has happened.

Nice touch lads
A natural disaster involving loss of life and peoples homes and still you can ditch any humanitarian notions to slag off a Munster player.
Classy
