    Idiotic of sexton to go for points, even if he got it now is the time to be working on our attack play, if we don’t practice and get this stuff right now when are we going to?

    We've started well but yet again we've nothing to show for it. POM shouldn't have kicked in Scotland's 22 and Sexton should've kicked a relatively straightforward penalty.

    Personally think it was the right call. Ireland need to win the match. It was a poor kick. Also disturbed to hear Shane Horgan (on Amazon Prime) say it was at the outer limit of Sexton's range!

    Poor from Stockdale. Under no real pressure but forced the turnover unnecessarily.

    That was as much a turnover by Earls as the last one was.

    We don’t need to win this match as it’s a meaningless game. And you don’t win matches by kicking penalties. Maybe against Mickey Mouse teams you can, but you think that would work against the likes of nz and South Africa?

    Something has gone drastically wrong with coaching at set piece.

    Execution of simple basic skills letting us down.

    Doris ruck, Stockdale pass, and that lineout looked over cooked

    Taking your points is almost certainly how you win against Big teams. Would you be making this argument if we kicked to the corner and got turned over?

    We probably can’t afford to get rid of Farrell can we?
    I mean financially obviously
    This should always have been Leo Cullen and Stuart Lancaster as backs coach. Different gravy

    That last one they barely lifted Henderson. The entire set piece is ****e and it’s not just on the thrower.

    We do need to win this considering how year has went and you most certainly do win games by kicking penalties.

    He certainly is a major part of the problem. Coaching may be an issue but his throwing is terrible.

    That whole coaching ticket needs to go.

    Somehow we've become a team that can't ruck can't scrum and can't get our own ball back on our lineouts.

    How long do we have to persist with Farrell before the IRFU dump him? Surely we need to be building to the next WC not having to wonder why the head coach is seriously below par. Just admit it was a monumental F up appoint a rugby league man with no experience at Head Coach and get rid

    The ball went straight to the back of the scrum, why not just whip it out to Sexton instead of waiting around to see which way a 50/50 penalty goes?

    Why just boot it away with pen advantage?
