    Yeah it never works out positively does it....

    When you have penalty advantage, yes you should do a lot better than what Sexton did.

    7 point opportunity was wasted by the captain of a team not scoring tries.

    Big difference between a planned play and auto pilot booting it every time we get advantage

    Penalty advantage is exactly what gives you the opportunity to go for a high risk play like that!

    It gives you a chance to go through the phases and run high risk passing plays, not boot it immediately like he has an awful habit of doing.

    Hilarious. 13mins into the game. Was like a random fella on the street trying to chase an Olympic sprinter.

    There's a difference between kicking it 22m and 5m out. On the 22 you try something because you've got the kick anyway.

    5m out when you're edging towards the line and they're infringing it's a waste to kick it away and then be happy with the 3 when you can just keep doing what's clearly working with a good chance of a try coming.

    And if the kick had slipped through and a try scored people would be singing his praises. What the fact he is captain has to do with that play I have no idea.

    You don't think teams practice cross field kicks when they have an advantage?

    Or take a chance at scoring a try right away, score 3 points as a worst case scenario, knowing you’ll have the ball kicked back to you straight away.

    That's a penalty to Ireland no?

    Watson was cleared out but played the ball.

    Penalty advantage also gives you time to take a few phases rather than kicking when it's not on. It was awful play by Sexton and he does it a lot on penalty advantage.

    Starting to worry here, we are looking beginning to do what we did in Cardiff and taking our foot off the gas and allowing the opposition. We need to swing this momentum back to us pronto!

    There were a few horrific passes from JGP there.

    It was obvious GP was going to be blocked on box kick.

    What are they doing in the Hyacinth House?
