    Pack was much improved.

    Backrow was excellent.

    We have the best 9 in the world but he is playing awful and should not start in Rome.

    Henshaw and Ringrose is our best centre pairing.

    Handsome Rob was very good. The difference in out wide out defence was noticeable


    Dillane really made a big impact. He could start in 2 weeks too.

    Or did they change that ? I know there was talk a while back about making it 4 points for the try, but not sure the change went ahead.

    Well thank goodness for that.

    Pity about the bonus point and pity about Sexton.

    Our centres weren't great IMO. Back three so much better.

    Murray and Sexton not up for it. Joey did well in the second half.

    Back row worked well. Second row too - Roux had a good day, better than I would have expected. Front row solid as always. Kilcoyne made great impact.

    A very nervous performance, I would have taken any win beforehand.

    Ah well. Gutted we didn't get the 4th try for the BP. Happy though for the win.

    Well the good news is that the players seem as underwhelmed as the rest of us.

    But we've gone to a tough place and won. Not many teams have won at Murrayfield recently.

    Remember no Toner, Henderson, Beirne, Stander,
    Leavy, Sexton for 60 mins, Ringrose or Henshaw.

    You know a converted try is 7, right?

    That's exactly my point.

    Good win in Murrayfield. Not an easy place to go. Not many standout players today. Stockdale class first half, SOB was class and Best decent after a tired looking performance last week. Murray's form is worrisome, and Aki has had his worst two games in an Ireland jersey. Farrell didn't go as well as I would have liked after a good start to the game and a mixed bag for Carbery. Dillane was a really good impact sub as well.

    Really think the lack of a BP reduces any chance of winning the Championship that there might have been.

    Look and the Irish players body language, you'd think they lost.

    Hardly 10/10 without the bp. The first half performance was dire.

    Not having the bonus probably means we can't win the championship now bar a major **** up from England.

    They tired it in the league along with the hand pass rule, but didn’t carry it forward to the championship.

    Are you talking about old rugby rules there? It's 5 points for a try. 2 points for a conversion.

    Sorry, but what are you on about about? Sexton was hit late and often. He picked up an injury.. Possibly a concussion.

    Ireland were better against England. A disimprovement today, but much of that a consequence of the level of personnel on the pitch. Todays performance would have been punished by England with a 50 pointer. The positive was that Scotland were worse and made even more stupid errors, we got the bounce of a ball for rather than against, and Poite was polite to us.
    So a step backwards from last week. Dont let the win hide anything.

    Since we got bate there last time...a win is 10/10

    He was poor. Partly to what was going on between him and the pack. But he was also poor in other areas.

    Didn't hear what he said as I switched over but he has always been a really bad loser.

    Poor stuff from Ireland, look like an Eddie O Sullivan team.
    Murray needs to go and talk to a sports psychology guy and get his confidence back.
    The loss of the first choice players shows us we are not as strong for World Cup as previously thought unless. Team selection for Japan will be key.
    J Carbery not anywhere near where he needs to be to be a substitute for Sexto despite what the mono tone Quinlan says.
    Having said that this is Six Nations and it’s always going to be thought, credit to the lads.
    Come on Ireland

    Needs a slap in the bake. Did t think Polite was great, but that's ludicrous.

    Gave out about poitre saying he doesn't get on with Scotland and gave out about a knock on he gave to Ireland in the second half.

    Bitter and uncalled for especially after the game on the tv interview
