    Madigan's touch finders are terrific

    Mads kicking from hand has been good.

    I can't handle the commentary pairing of Quinlan and Robson.

    It's superlative city: amazing, incredible, really, fantastic, wonderful...

    Yeah, clumsy. We don't have a clue if he deliberately did anything.

    I'll have to see it again but it looked to me that he went in to try and clear the player who had taken the carrier to ground and his knee was leading.

    I don't know what it is about Quinlan that winds me up so much. He just states the obvious. I guess that's what a commentator is supposed to do.

    This game would put you to sleep. Don't think there was much in McGrath's knee at all.

    Reddan has been poor, as has most of our pack. I know this is a glorified friendly, but it's still a chance to impress Schmidt.

    Jennings is the best Irish player on the pitch.

    They're game weeks these days. Hartly got a 4 week ban, but it takes him upto the first game of the world cup.

    would like to see a wide angle. have only seen it once and thought he tried to shove the lads over the ball and his knee caught the baa baas player. I thought Madigan was more guilty then McGrath

    He's just so nice. But incredibly dull. I still reckon he'd make a very personable host but as the man to provide the actual expert analysis he doesn't do it for me. The other guy Robson needs to dial it back a bit. Not every game of rugby is epic and incredible.

    I'd actually like to see Jackson on now. He could open things up a bit.

    Yeah the finger has to be pointed at Gilroy for that try.

    COS did have his man though, Gilroy should have kept wide

    Yeah you're right seeing it back.

    Barbarians trying to play the Baa-Baas style but the greasy ball isn't really working for them. Have to commend them for keeping at it though.

    FWIW YC was the right call for me. Not a red and won't be cited.

    Jennings and Smith possibly the best players on the field. Gopperth has gone well too. Very fluid in attack.

    Heaslip and Toner have gone well for us. Madigan has been solid but will want to do something eye catching before being called ashore. Nobody in the back line particularly good. I've been pleased with COS but that's more relative to expectations than to what I'd want from an Irish test level performance.

    Maybe, but Ireland are struggling to generate quick ball so it will be tough for either out half with ball in hand.

    Good to see Chris Henry putting himself about; I'd love for him to kick on to a good World Cup.

    I think Henry has been one of our standouts so far along with Heaslip.

    He looks handy, Leinster should go after him.
