    We're not much better in defence.

    Well worse than clunky for the try.

    DuPont is brilliant in fairness

    What kind of offloads were they??? Hold it.

    What are they doing in the Hyacinth House?

    I'm afraid JGP and Burns just aren't good enough at this level. We need to find a 9 and 10 to replace Murray and Sexton before the next WC

    Fixed your post there, if they want to do up a video of clips of examples of penalties for going off your feet at the breakdown just show that over and over, the fact that he was trying to seal off a 9 made it worse.

    Iain Henderson has been immense out there so far.

    French 13 came in from the side there.

    Bit premature no? JGP playing well bar the bite in and Burns playing well bar the missed penalty.

    I must be watching a different game, I think JGP is playing a decent game, looked bad for the try but he's a 9 not a winger, he shouldn't have been there

    Its not seeking contact, kicking etc

    So much for the much vaunted change in style

    I thought JGP was doing well until he messed up for the French try.

    He's in the act of a clear out and the guy steps back out of it. I've seen them not given.

    Burns was easily stripped of the ball there... we're under pressure now because of it

    The strength of Dupont to get to ground there. Healy and Porter trying to hold him up. Impressive!

    I don't understand that. Henderson wasn't penalised for being on the wrong side yet the fact he was on the wrong side means Irelands jackal wasn't legitimate ?

    The pack are playing well again. We put ourselves under pressure when we put it out wide though. We never really look comfortable out the back.

    JGP gifted France a try with a poor defensive decision, were mincing France up front and we haven't the half backs to capitalise

    Kicking and seeking contact in a rugby game. Well I never!

    We have 9’s for this level:
    Blade
    Marmiom
    Cooney
    Mcgrath

    Casey has massive potential but an Irish shirt is not the place for it IMO.

    Ten is a bigger issue, but still:
    Carthy

    Burns is playing better than I expected tbh.

    Nah we're seeing nothing here to suggest Farrell is the man. We're utterly crap in the very things he was apparently changing
