Great result and a load of tries in the bag. I doubt many had that a scoreline in their predictions.

Ryan ws MOTM but POM showed a lot of promise too, both had a great day in the lineouts which was supposed to be our weakness.

In this year's 6Ns so far we've outscored two teams by double their score, drawn one and lost by 2 points in the other.

How many times does it take for Kidney to learn it though?

Unfortunately I have to agree with you. Kidney's determination to keep on trying to put square pegs in round holes is the problem here. Especially after he's been shown that round pegs fit the round holes perfectly!

I don't understand whether it's down to stubborness and sheer pig headedness.

Honestly would not be surprised at all to see TOL start in Twickenham.

Please God no! But I wouldn't be surprised to see that either. He's determined to "rehabilitate" him no matter what the cost to us.

We could really be going for a GS next week, makes you wonder how well we might have done if we picked our best players

DDC1990 · 10-03-2012 8:29pm

Ok, so We scored a bag load of tries.

We dominated at scrum time.

O'Leary and McFadden came off the bench and the world didn't end! They actually played well.

ROG and Sexton played on the pitch together and played well.

We went up against a formidable lineout without our talisman POC, yet Donnacha Ryan and Donnacha O'Callaghan actually played well.

Earls showed us the reason why he was selected at 13 for this 6 Nations, with great handling, exceptional defence and finally some attacking flair, leading to a try (eventually)

We found ourselves a potential 7 for the future in POM, and confirmed that D.Ryan is the real deal.

Healy is playing like a man posessed.

Kearney had another great game.

Sexton was great from the tee, and apart form 2-3 bad decision, lead the line very well.

Yet, people are still complaining about Kidney, D'Arcy, DOC (completly ignoring the work he did a ruck time, and the power he brings at scrumtime).
Its no wonder the atmosphere in the Aviva is shíte. Instead of watching and supporting the team, our fans are waiting for an opportunity for their most hated player to make a mistake so they can call him Crap on an internet forum after the game!

The reaction when TOL came on said it all. People before he touched the ball were calling him shíte, and saying he didn't deserve to be in the Jersey again.

Benny Cake · 10-03-2012 8:31pm

Considering the injuries, Irelands strength in depth has been impressive.. Great to see Sexton play so well today, he's the best ten in europe on this form. Healy, Ryan, Ferris, POM, Earls all superb. Enjoyable enough game to boot. Roll on Paddys day in Twickenham!!

So, if POC was fit (like he has been for the other matches), you wouldn't have a problem with MOTM Ryan being on the bench instead of DOC?

That's what people are complaining about.

Dont think anybodys disputing that it was a good performance, but you cant tell me that when you look at the 6N table at the end of the championship and see us at best 3 from 5 that you wont feel a tint of frustration wondering what might have been.

POC isn't fit though. DOC is playing well and doing the job asked of him. He shouldn't be first choice but, its nowhere near the problem people are making it.

I actually think I bigger deal should be made of Earl's performances. There were threads of bile and venom spewed about him before the 6N began. He has now put in 4 very accomplished performances at 13 while steadily improving every week. His critics have been silenced, little if any of them have admitted they were terribly off point.

irishbucsfan · 10-03-2012 8:40pm

The truth is that if there were no injuries Ryan, Trimble and Reddan would very likely still have been on the bench and POM would not have been in the squad at all.

That is the problem.

Also why on earth we changed our halfbacks to sit on a lead at home I haven't the foggiest clue.

That is not to say we didn't play well. Happy with the win. Great team of players. It's just a shame we have to rely on injuries to get the right ones on the pitch.

wonton · 10-03-2012 8:40pm

that run from kearney just before earls dived like a professional swimmer was incredible.

Really looking forward to seeing POM start tomorrow. He could nail down a place in the team if he continues to play as he has for Munster. I predict he'll be heading with the Lions down under next year.

This is really starting to grow legs now are people taking the p**s or is it just good old munster bias. Hope this guy has a good career ahead of him but the way he is being talked about its like the second coming of Jesus. From what I have seen he has shown nothing to get so excited about and seems to be flavour of the month. Its going to take a hell of alot to dislodge SOB out of the squad. All the same hope he does well tomorrow.

Bump.

Of course I will.

I was livid we couldn't close out the France game! We had them on the ropes.
But we made mistakes out on the field and that happens in Rugby. C'est la vie!

We were lucky to be ahead of Wales for so long, they bossed us.
I was crushed when they got that penalty to win it. But we wern't prepared enough for Wales' physicality, and that showed us up on the day. We had a great chance to beat the team, that has a great chance to win the Grand Slam, without playign well. I just think the doom and gloom is all a bit rediculous.

Fair point, there's obviously a lot of posters(myself included) soured on the national side at the minute for various reasons, but your right, it was a great result and a good performance and at least for today if people dont have anything good to say they shouldnt say anything at all.

Undoubtedly, but his tackling is still piss poor. I don't understand it either. He is a big man and will gladly put his body on the line jumping at full tilt for a ball he has no right of winning but, he doesn't show the same commitment in last man tackling.

If he proactively targets his defense as a weakness (like Earls) and continues to improve his willingness to pass could go down as an all time great.

I wasn't meaning to be overly negative about Kidney or DOC. I think it was a very good result against a Scottish team who came here to win. Just a bit frustrated with Kidney and selection of DOC over Ryan. Not that DOC has been playing poorly for us, its just Ryan has been better for Munster this season and for Ireland when he's came on in this 6 nation. If POC had have been fit today, I still think Kidney would have pick DOC.

Anyway, a good win today for us with some really good performances from the team. Hopefully they'll continue it next week against England. I've over in London at the moment and it being St. Patricks day, it should be a good atmosphere in town.

He has been really good this Six Nations, fell off two tackles today but made the second most of any Irish player with 10.

Ferris was insanely good again, 17 tackles 0 missed for the second week in a row. Heaslip and POM need quite well but between them they only made 16.

The lead up to his try is why I'm not certain he's the man to replace Darcy, he took the ball on from TOL's pass from the scrum when he should have sent out the line, when he got the ball there was only 3 defenders outside him.

We got lucky and he scored so maybe it's hard to argue with that in itself.

This is absolute horses***.

Piss poor? Are you serious? No commitment?

Richie Grey (6'10" 20st) running full tilt 10-15 metres from the try line with a winger in tow. Kearney placed his bet and lost. He banked on an offload "fully committed" to stopping a try and was sold a dummy by a fantastic player.

Piss poor is your comment and after all your talk about ROG's tackling not being that bad. :rolleyes:

Jaysus Blackbeard. Last week was bowe. This week Kearney. Who is it going to be next week... Healy? Best? Your posts are borderline comedy

.ak · 10-03-2012 9:21pm

Hmm. I'm slightly confused about the entire game.

It was probably Scotland's worst match (bar the England game). They completely lacked in attack, and never really looked dangerous. Their only decent score coming from an impressive break from the second row.

Yet we really struggled with them, especially in the second half.

It was great to see the win, and certain players get out their and prove their point. But having said that, the problems with the squad run so deep it's silly. The biggest thing I'm still confused about was the changing of the half backs to sit on the lead. We weren't in a comfortable position, and after the match DK admitted he was going to take Best off as soon as he couldn't play anymore and give ROG the captaincy. ROG as Captain is mad imo, but the point that most perplexes me is why take Reddan off?

Reddan was playing outstandingly, why sub him? The fact we couldn't put a score on them for almost 30 minutes was disgraceful considering how much we were in control of the game.

Why wasn't McCarthy brought on earlier? Again, we were in control and DOC was offering nothing except giving away penalties.

Kearney was outstanding as usual. If he could off-load I'd imagine we'd be a serious threat under the ball.

So verdict is; yes, it was nice to see all our 'plan b' elements coming together on the field but the cracks are still there. We'll probably beat England, they're in a pretty big rebuild at the moment, and I think they're there for the taking. So at the end of it it's been a pretty disappointing six nations with no progress. Things will be as they should be: Ireland third, France second and Wales first. It's a pity, because we potentially should be first. But third is probably acceptable for the IRFU, they're looking okay on the RWC15 rankings...

Well he seen it was on and got it, i'd call that heads-up rugby. Seen more of that all round the park today then i have in a long time.
We seriously need to re-evaluate these box kicks though.

yosser hughes · 10-03-2012 9:29pm

I don't understand why he took Reddan off either. Certainly not at the time he took him off when the game was far from won. Don't understand why he brought on ROG when he did.

Something which is completely over utilised. Reddan's kicks today were every bit as bad as Murray's and I'm not sure if they are under instruction to use them or not.

Because Darcy was playing badly and needed a rest on the back of 3 games in as many weeks

Same reason Best was subbed on the 50

I think you can take it they're acting under instructions! Neither does this quite as much for their province.

porterbelly · 10-03-2012 9:32pm

Good win

Very impressed with Donnacha Ryan, and he's earned the 4 jersey going forward. He is everything DOC isn't. DOC is all action and bravado, Ryan provides substance. Pure determination and aggression, and looks like a leader. Was disappointed McCarthy wasn't introduced earlier for DOC, who had another poor game.

O'Mahony was solid, I wouldn't be getting too carried away, he had one excellent steal, but overall a good solid debut. Ferris and Healy also impressed me in the pack. D'arcy anonymous, what does he have to do to get dropped? Earls seems to getting more comfortable at 13, albeit he wasn't tested defensively. Sexton kicked well and Kearney was reliable as usual

CouchSmart · 10-03-2012 9:36pm

Delighted to see Ryan show what he's capable of. Absolutely criminal he hasn't been starting before this. Showed up Kidney big time in my opinion.

ironingbored · 10-03-2012 9:37pm

Some great displays today Ryan, Ferris, Healy.

Some very good displays O'Mahony, Sexton, Kearney, Earls

Some good displays Best, Ross, Reddan, Heaslip, Trimble, Bowe

Some mediocre displays DOC, Darcy.

There was a period around 50mins where we were playing fantastic rugby.

I'm perplexed by Kidney bringing on ROG on 54mins with Sexton (especially as he was playing so well) moving to 12. If he wants to take Darcy off, McFadden is the way to go. I could understand it with 10 or 5 mins to go or due to injury...meh
