    Ross Byrne has failed to impress on numerous occasions. Burns had a good Autumn. He **** the bed last week but he still has credit in the bank from November and rightly so. He deserves his shot. Personally I'd prefer to see Carty there but I don't have an issue with Burns being given a chance.

    There has to be a better option than Burns.

    Na Burns has sucked. His kicks for touch from penalties have been poor in terms of ground gained

    Wrong.

    If I've one criticism of sexton is that he rarely gains much ground when kicking for touch out of hand.

    Burns gets plenty....Lowe even better.

    No.

    People are looking for issues with JGP and Burns because of the fuss that's been made about us playing with neither Sexton nor Murray.

    Sexton misses kicks all the time, and t's harsh to blame JGP for the try. They tore through us and the defence was scrambling.

    Both the half backs have been grand.

    Haven't seen anyone mention the jgp tackle on the French second row that saved a certain try. The two lads have done alright. Ireland on top for large passages but France have the killer blow on offense that ireland dont possess. Definitely not out 9f this yet. French set piece is a shambles. Dont see a grand slam in those guys

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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?

    Dupont passes into his own players head.

    Definitely should be dropped for that.

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