    Is that it for ROG? Sad way for him to go out if so.

    It should be, and I agree, it's a sad end.

    It should be the end of a few more international careers out there too, not least the coach.

    Time for fresh approach, and time to rebuild.

    In the mean time, time to de-deccify the players and try and get them back to performing at a high enough level to compete for the Heineken Cup.

    I think the people who were defending Heaslip in the first half are more embarrassed tbh.

    Heaslip's form or otherwise was not the issue in that match and your obsession with him is bizarre.

    We can guess we have seen the last of Darcy. A sad decline in recent years, but praise for the good one before that.

    Three cheers for Dorce - we'll always have that break in Twickenham 2004.

    Awful. This will have to affect the lads going back to their clubs.

    Need an English style clear-out. Some players and coach.

    Horrible game.

    I for one am glad that we managed to secure Kidney as coach before our successful WC run after our successful 6N and preceding our incredibly successful 6N 2012.

    Ross getting injured did us, the English deserve this comprehensive victory however. It would be great if this was the end of kidney

    Funnily enough, the scrum was just as bad before he went off.

    Disagree. It was buckling with Ross on but couldn't see that penalty try being given if he was at tighthead for it. It was walked backwards when court came on

    My obsession? :confused:

    I said he was below-par, others argued he wasn't. I think the game proved my point, and I was correct.

    The point has been made, and those saying he was playing fine (pointing out that he hadn't missed a single one of his 4 tackles :rolleyes:) look silly.

    </obsession>

    Disgraceful stuff today. A number of players along with the coach should be firmly shown the door.

    Kidney, do us a favour and walk

    Heaslip, O Leary, O Gara, O Callaghan and Da'rcy can go with him

    Standards have to be met, and when they continuously aren't met then changes need to be made

    You made a number of posts and then gloated. Its quite obvious you were happy with how his game panned out. To be honest it was pathetic how delighted you seemed.

    No he can't. He can cover tighthead about as well as Tom Court can. Except Court is a far better loosehead. Suggesting McGrath is better than Court is hilarious.

    If it's any consolation, there was a worse game today, and a far worse team. Stick a wooden spork in the Scotland team: they're done.

    From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch’.

    Nick Mallet next Ireland coach. Embarrassing, only word to describe that. We have the players to be grand slam champs. Kidney is to blame. Won grand slam with O'Sullivans team. We can't simply put up with "close enough" anymore. Look at our club sides in HC. 3 in QF. We should be winning more Championships.

    Unless a second full-time goal kicker gets into the Ireland squad, ROG will always be there as back-up.

    He looks like a man who wants to retire from international rugby though, has done since the world cup. Don't think he'll have any interest in staying on as back up.

    O'Leary kicked out on the full twice and a few minutes later england scored tries. Kidney needs to wise up and stop picking his buddies.

    Heaslip needs to be dropped. O'Callaghan isnt producing so needs to be dropped and D'Arcy is finished.

    Um...I think you are projecting. Please discuss the game and keep the personal attacks out of it.
