Ireland would have to be the least likeable international team. What a bunch of whining plums.

Down side. Getting completely hammered.
Up sides. Only down by 3. And we can go back to Foster is shit
it's our forwards. We struggle to get parity week on week
Doesn't help that the one blockbusting tight 5 player we have is stuck on the bench because Foster is too much of a pussy to drop a senior AB
Taylor is ‘experienced’ though

@Kirwan yeah was about as good as you will get on a long lineout throw!

We just put ourselves under too much pressure. We had only had 25% territory and then we go for the long throw in our own half. We then lose the ball and the red card follows. We just need to play a bit smarter in those situations and take the pressure off.
I still think we have every chance of winning this game, but it will be tough.
Why is our line out not working?
This goes back to selection.
They aren’t getting it right on the room 3 days before the test, god knows what else they are fucking it.
Clearly, Mooar and McLeod need to go.

Firstly, Shand, coaches and the entire player leadership group ... not to mention all the junior shit kickers, Ross included ... need to be shot for that substitution debacle.
Scrums are UNCONTESTED for FUCK SAKE!!
secondly, the red on Gus. That's the worst example of the head contact protocols I've seen. The very definition of unavoidable.
Ditto LF.
Ofa however. Should have been a PT.
How the fuck are only 3 points down?

OK, that made me laugh. Sexton storms up the TMO box. “I would like to speak to the manager.”

The Irish side of the line usually sounds like Rolls Royce has set up a jet engine factory. Alongside a drama school for overacting.

Get outta town! He ran into the ball carrier, actually accelerated towards him and lined him up! The very definition of avoidable!

I expect the players to come up with the right option there.

Ireland must be wondering why they are only 3 points ahead and it must be getting into their heads.
The kicking has been woeful, too many players doing dumb stuff and no calming down and riding out pressure. But the composure when under the pump in the last 15m has been really, really impressive. Players starting to up their game and a brave decision by Cane to go for the corner backed up by the team stepping up.
IF we win this - and it's a bloody big IF - it could well be a turning point. The subs are going to be crucial.
