    We're in a rebuilding phase.

    But the big thing for me isn't so much the players, but is AF the man to lead us forward.

    In Freddie burns’s defence Sexton would have missed one of those place kicks as well.

    Freddie Burns, Jesus Mary and Joseph.

    There has to be a better option than Burns.

    Sure. We have much better options at 9:

    Cooney
    Marmion
    Blade

    Casey is not (yet) international standard 9. Those guys are and offer us more.

    Ah no I said more than just he's not good enough. You said he's not the answer those guys are not options because they are not in the team. He's got bags of talent. He may not be the best option right now but youve given no actual reason why.

    I see the match threads are becoming as unreadable as the main Ireland thread.

    Come on Ireland.

    I don't think any player has been bad. We've a lot of lads actually excelling. Set piece has been excellent and our pressure game on point.

    But as soon as the ball goes past 10 we look clueless. We're wasting the abilities of some very gifted outside backs.

    He’s been blue raw useless in the second quarter of the first half

    Blue raw useless hahaha

    Our scrum and lineout are clearly on top.

    We need to play 10 man rugby to have a chance here.

    France will have us for breakfast in fast open play

    Lowe has a strange kicking style.

    Fichou playing well.

    What are they doing in the Hyacinth house?

    Too easy for France, blessed we got away with that

    France are too good for us I'm afraid.

    Herring providing the turnstile


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,253 ✭✭✭✭mfceiling


    Dupont passes into his own players head.

    Definitely should be dropped for that.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators, Regional Midwest Moderators Posts: 24,074 Mod ✭✭✭✭Clareman


    If JGP did that he'd be lynched here :D:D:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,354 ✭✭✭KH25


    Herring looks so slow in open play compared to the rest of the players on the pitch.


  • Administrators Posts: 56,581 Admin ✭✭✭✭✭awec


    Big opportunity now for Byrne.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,339 ✭✭✭lawrencesummers


    All from a terrible clearance kick from Lowe

    Experience and a proven track record. Not saying he won’t get there, he is great and has a long career ahead of him.

    Why in your opinion should he be in the squad vs the others mentioned?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,253 ✭✭✭✭mfceiling


    Ross Byrne now.

    You'll get what you wanted.
