    Stockdale done again. He's hopeless back there.

    2 v 1 with Burns hunting on the inside, Stockdale made the right call.

    Stockdale is so far from a test level 15

    No way, you make the hit and force that pass.

    Stocktake is a liability at 15 I must say. All at sea in defence. Take your man and rely on your teammates.

    So not a fan of Stockdale in defense. Not his fault per se but if there is a decision to be made he seems to consistently make the wrong one. Maybe recency bias tbf.

    Maybe...
    Seeing it again, poor tackle attempt from Burns

    Wouldnt blame Stockdale there, Burns missed the tackle and Stockdale covered the support.

    Beirne and Stander don't come out of that looking good. We're sold the dummy and let the Georgian through.

    Stockdale should have taken the man. He is simply not up to the required level at Full Back.

    He’s made plenty of defensive mistakes in the past but that wasn’t one of them. Great try.

    Stockdale really had to take the man.

    Brilliant try none the less.

    Stockdale was pure crap, but problem started cause Beirne doesn’t have the mobility to play flanker.

    He shouldn't have kicked that, 2v1 on there, only kick if it's a 1v1.

    Both. Beirne missed the inside ball, Burns got stepped when Stockdale drifted to take the outside man.

    There we go. 5 minutes that perfectly show why Stockdale is a wing and NOT a full back.

    Beirne more than CJ I'd say. CJs read was fine, Beirne was shallow on the hunt on the inside.

    Interesting move there switching to Beirne on the wing just there.

    Wasn't particularly good for a winger either. Stander blocked the cover tackle then Stockdale needlessly boots away possession.

    Brutal from Stander. Too busy offside arguing with the ref to defend.

    Brilliant from McCloskey - Murray playing quickly there too

    Laws experts: how is that not penalty after the Georgian picks the ball back up and rejoins the maul?

    1. CJ was right - the ball was dropped so the maul was over - open play (see Murray v Toulon)

    2. CJ didn't leave that gap

    Be interesting to see how other refs would've given it. Maybe a scrum for accidental offside?

    Stockdale seems intent on trying to run Earls' lines for him

    Can only assume the referee didn't see the ball go to the deck

    nobody can defend this selection. nobody. Doris needed another run at 8. Porter is being flogged. Healy on the bench. Murray at 9. lack of new caps. Keenan over Daly. I'd go as far to suggest this is the worst its ever been. It's a nadir for Irish rugby and i probably won't watch this. This team will beat Georgia by about 50 points and come the 6 nations we will be no better for it.France have eleven debutants in their squad to play Italy. A wasted opportunity and i have no idea what Farrell is doing. Should have been shown the door after Japan or kept on as defensive coach, cause he isn't the answer. **** me i'm raging. i was hoping i'd be wrong.

    :confused:
