Actually I would argue that it was too much detail. The players couldn’t really think for themselves.

It’s called sarcasm :-)

Of course form should and will, hopefully be the driving force. I guess that by the time the autumn series rolls around, we'll have an idea as to our style of play and the contenders for the starting XV and the XXIII.

I think it will be more than minor considering Farrell will have seen through being involved how much backwards we've went this calender year.

I'm hoping for something other than one out runners and box kicks to nowhere.
But you're right, my thoughts about this year bears no impression on the 6nations. I think and hope that minor
Changes in the game plan and the addition of a couple of new guys give us something to work with.
If Farrell doesn't make changes or adapts to a different brand and style we might struggle. I don't think he will.
He's sat through a horse**** rwc and watched us implode and be very undercooked. He saw what we all saw! If he continues on the same course or selection policy of Joe, he is probably not as smart as I give him credit.

selection policy be different how? Schmidt was an excellent coach but people were refusing to be properly critical of him for ages.
It really needs to be more than minor changes to game plan.

Not only that looks at how open they are in regards to media etc having documentaries, we ban one on one interviews as per Kinsella

The bankrupt nature of Ireland’s performance last Saturday being brutally exposed here. We never had a cut. Bitterly disappointing.

Mate everyone has been a critic of Ireland this week. You'll find little in the way of defence for that performance. But what you will find is more measured criticism than the open bashing that's gone on. If that's not to you're liking then I'm sorry.

I've no idea what you're on about being proved wrong or anything. I've been a huge fan of everything we've done and achieved over the six years. Are you saying you could see that this was coming down the line from three years ago? Fair play if so.

Yeah i could and unfortunately i don't want to expose myself proving it here.

Look i get it i dunno maybe u think im bashing the players im not. Joe did a great job but in the end it wasn't good enough. And if u listen to the 42 podcast yesterday, thats me in a nutshell. Shefwed thinks im rehashed of info but i use it as a professional backing up cause again critics of regime are painted as mad outliers. Matt Williams, Horgan, Dunne and a few others have long pointed out our deficiencies, have long pointed out the best way of playing (ala England) and have long pointed out it has nothing to do with weather, dna,our player base. I make no apologies for saying we can play the way England are playing. We will never agree it seems so no worries.

best thing for Irish rugby is a England Wales final. England winning here will rip off the already healing bandages. which is good maximum boots up the hole for Irish rugby

England's skill coach supposedly has them set aside 30 minutes where instead of murder ball they just try crazy things/skill stuff in mini games with zero pressure when it comes to ****ing up

we have lads who are afraid of meeting joe in a hotel corridor,cause he'll ask them about a move they needed to learn.
one which won't see the light of day

Saids you. All of us critics have said what was said on the 42 yesterday we’ve been proven right, today again and people like you are proven wrong just like in 2015. You must get tired being wrong all the time. Sure look it who cares right big pro 14 game tonight.

Good luck

Wtf the **** are u talking about...potshots.

I’ve criticized all rugby aspects...lack of footwork, offloads, width, pace.

Everything England are doing here I have said the Irish team are talented enough to do **** off with your potshots nonsense

Look if your pr for Vodafone or the team just hold your hands up. Or has Gerry finally been uncloaked

Criticism is allowed. Criticism is the life of sport.

Yet there you are. Having a go at the Ireland team in the midst of a world cup semi final.

Not a potshot tho. No sir.

It's not an alternate opinion if all that's being offered is a bash at the team. That's what's been going on again and again and again.

Ah yeah classic boards.ie rugby, alternate opinions not required.

Fact is, Ireland are an absolute mile off the standard being shown in this match. Miles off. Terribly sorry if that upsets you.

None of the threads have been about rugby since we lost. They've entirely been about taking potshots at the team.

So I'm absolutely going to call out the crap that's being spewed.

Watching this is a bit depressing. 2019 Ireland are not capable of scoring a try like that.

Believe we are going to do well based on what? We have went backwards this calender year. We have a new head coach in a head coaching role for first time.
