    Carbery is a terrible kicker, not just tonight but most matches!

    He's gotten very few chances at place-kicking in matches. He was a great kicker.

    Let him keep going. What harm will it do?

    I don't think I've seen worse rugby coverage ever. It makes Setanta's schools cup coverage look Oscar worthy.

    Great try

    Who cares if he makes the kicks or not, going to make no difference tonight.

    Points difference at the end of the season.

    Now, he'd better get this one!

    This match is like those times I've stuck the TV on some weird zoom setting and had no idea how to change it back.

    Marmion still the best winger in the country

    What season?

    It's a training match against the USA.

    Why has Ringrose stopped taking them?

    Carberry will never be a 10. Way too loose. Could be a cracking 15 but far from the finished product.

    Poor Earls, he's just doing sprints out there

    Great work from Earls and Marmion. And people (well,BOD) say Earls can't pass/offload

    Is he going on holidays? :pac:

    The US commentary team are class. You really have to tune in to them. They have reasonable knowledge but every now and then they come out with something like "He took a little chip shot and got some iron as a result"

    Keith Earls will be getting a trial as a running back for the Cleveland Browns after this

    Give Earls the ball.
    Earls runs along the wing.
    Earls either scores...or offloads for some other lad to score...a bit too easy

    I reckon Carbery was given the kicks from the right and Ringrose from the left. He also seems to be under orders to give those chips from his 22 to be fair to the poor lad. He has only missed one that he should have gotten.

    Yeah let him keep kicking, try push on but anytime I have seen him kicking he is not great. Tonight some tough kicks but should be getting them. Even in the famous match against the All Blacks in the states he missed some straight forward kicks near to goal. And when given the chance for Leinster rare enough I know he has been ok.

    I would love for him to push on but I think he will be an average kicker at best, hopefully I'm wrong.
