    One overthrow. Let's see whether it's a one-off

    Sexton injured yet again, how he thinks he’ll make it to the next World Cup, delusional.

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

    Kelleher isn't the problem lads.

    Something has gone drastically wrong with coaching at set piece.
    He certainly is a major part of the problem. Coaching may be an issue but his throwing is terrible.

    This is a coaching issue for set piece.

    Really poor stuff all over the park from Ireland so far. Don't know if any element of our game is working.

    Healy with about 4 mistakes in the first 18 minutes. He's having a nightmare.

    Its akin to watching a bunch of journey men - we are at sea and look utterly down trodden in our body language so far

    Is anything done on set pieces at training? Our set piece is a complete and utter crap shoot.

    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.

    Right now it's looking like Scotland will beat us by kicking penalties.

    Murrays box kicks have lost a half second hang time, they seem to die quickly

    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?

    Thank god Scotland are so error prone. It'll keep us ticking over until someone figures out how to play a bit of rugby.

    I was going to say does he need to come off, he looks miles off the pace.

    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 would not have won against any big team by kicking points. If we don’t have the confidence to attempt a try against Scotland in a meaningless match which is 0-0 we may as well pack up and call it a day.

    Don’t agree, put Cullen and Lancaster in there and these players would look totally different

    Penalty advantage and sexton just hoofs it into the 22 absolute muck.

    It’s terrible to say but wouldn’t mind a loss if it could end this Farrell **** show. The thought of being humiliated in the 6N with this coaching ticket is nauseous
