    I can't believe how bad Rory has been. I'd wager he's gone seasons without throwing this many crooked lineouts.

    It's painful listening on the radio, especially given his mate Tommy Bowe is doing the analysis.

    Best has been poor all tour. He didn't have a good six nations either.

    He should be taken off for his own sake.

    RK started second half brightly and is given line kicking duties on the right side. Stranger things have happened than him getting the 23 jersey just like in 2009 (yes, the 22 jersey then, you pedants).

    We finally won a lineout... It was illegal but let's not mention that.

    And then the pack **** it up.

    Jesus they look useless

    Genuinely reminiscent of McIlroy's blowup at the Masters. Needs to come off.

    A black hole of misery.

    I'm no hooker, but does rory hold the ball with very square hands rather than a complete offset?

    England v Ireland in 2004 when we beat them in their first proper match after they won the WC. I'd say their lineout stats were pretty grim that day.

    If I were the brumbies, I'd just keep kicking into touch and work my way down the field, knowing you're probably going to get it back without much drama.

    Remiscent of Thompson's meltdown agains Ireland a few years ago.

    They have to get Best off. He is an embarrassment.

    It must be so hard for Best as a captain today, given his own performance is so shockingly bad. Pretty hard to lead when the lads are looking at you thinking throw the ball straight and we might get back in this.

    Rory Best showing why he wasn't picked initially...

    Kearney has mixed the good with the really poor. Won't be near the 23.

    Locks are terrible. Youngs too slow and Hogg showing how he's playing out of position...

    Seanie would have got support there if he was playing for Ireland and got himself a chance to try and hold it up. No support came so it just looked like he was intentionally moving around to the attacking side. Unfortunate.
