Again, urgency and intensity get results.
Very encouraged by this game, tbh. Starting to look a bit more cohesive.

Sexton may as well retire at this stage. This ‘he’s rusty’ excuse is just a coverup. He’s no where near the player he once was and never will be. Time has run out. He’s a passenger now.

We get the point. Jesus you're obsessed. Analyse all the other players to the same extent.

Take a bow Rory. Great servant to the cause.

Clegg · 07-09-2019 02:15PM

Earls limping a bit there? Hopefully it's not serious.

Some people really love to react based on a couple of games.

‘X player must be putting pressure on Y’ with absolutely zero basis other than a couple of games in preseason.

If your not going to base you opinion on a players playing performance in games, then what are you going to base it on? His haircut?

It’s a great thing for this team that a starting prop is under so much pressure, no need to get triggered by it.

Wouldn’t it be great if Furlong was being pushed as much and we had a second choice front row capable of starting, imagine the impact.

I thought Kleyn did well.

Hope Earls is okay.

Mantis Toboggan · 07-09-2019 02:17PM

Pisshead tank

Rory is off for the final time at the Aviva. Great standing ovation by the crowd.

Keith Earls has gone off as well.

Jean Kleyn has also gone off to be replaced.

SlickRic · 07-09-2019 02:17PM

The line speed is on a different planet entirely to recent weeks.

rubbish - first game back - hes been fine

Conan is a very tidy player.

Diabhal Beag · 07-09-2019 02:17PM

Anybody else wince at Murray's landing on that tackle there? Looked like he was folded in as the base at an awkward angle for his neck.

Rockbeast2 · 07-09-2019 02:18PM

Kick to the corner

Franz Von Peppercorn II · 07-09-2019 02:18PM

Scrum is looking up.

Healy has been Ireland’s best prop, and after James Ryan Ireland’s best forward, for the last year.

Kilcoyne has had a great year and has looked like a man possessed in these last two games, but Healy is at the top level of front-rows and he’s shown plenty of that.

You don't. No one knows. These are nothing games and we're still a month over from the first real test so current form is mostly irrelevant. No one here has the slightest clue.

CMcsporty · 07-09-2019 02:18PM

Just take him Tadhg off ffs

Was a fine wrestling pin.

He should be a nailed on starter. And that's been the case since at least the turn of the year.

Gidea · 07-09-2019 02:19PM

Get VDF off in into bubble wrap plz

kuang1 · 07-09-2019 02:19PM

My heart skipped a beat there when I saw VDF wince after the penalty was called back.

What’s the point of these games then?

Game time in the legs

Gidea · 07-09-2019 02:21PM

Looks like he got in down on the line

SlickRic · 07-09-2019 02:21PM

Loving this.

Hobosan · 07-09-2019 02:22PM

Hope Van Der Fliers right shoulder isn't too bad.

Naggdefy · 07-09-2019 02:22PM

This is some improvement from 2 weeks ago in Twickenham. Fair play to all.

Rockbeast2 · 07-09-2019 02:22PM

Try

Clegg · 07-09-2019 02:23PM

This is Standers best performance for Ireland in ages. Problem is it's in PoM's preferred position and he's our best lineout operator.

Decisions decisions.
