    Really poor. Even if you're going nowhere, hold on to possession.

    Fatigue from the missing pack member definitely a factor.

    This has been a really impressive performance from a team down to 14 tbh. Some silly mistakes, but that was always going to be the case when down a man.

    I'd agree tbh, staying within a score at this stage is an accomplishment.

    Lots of negatives, but lots of positives as well. Next week will be a better indicator of where we are.

    Assuming we can keep 15 men on the pitch of course.

    Trojan effort by Ireland, absolute killer that we were down to 14. Really feel bp would have been there for the taking. Tired bodies now and France next week, could be down Ryan and Sexton. Brutal.

    Sexton didn't always make the right decisions. He's on the down. These younger lads learn from these mistakes as he did.
    This is an absolute Mickey mouse of a competition particularly when there are no gates, the focus should be on developing players for the WC.

    Henshaw or Beirne our best players, and Keenan imo has put the debate about 15 to bed for now.

    Or the guy getting 15 mins to imoress and take the spot of a 36 year old with a broken body and sticks it out on the full. I know who I'm going for.

    Look, Burns will make those mistakes, he’s learning. It’s why he needs more starts or any 10 that isn’t sexton does.
