    3 HIA, we need to make sure we don't concede in the next 10 minutes, hopefully all 3 will be back so we'll have fresh legs for longer.

    Have they talked about helmets in rugby? Get it wouldn't work with scrums?

    NFL has shown that helmets can result in worse long term head injuries.

    I dont rate the coach. But he is a very unlucky coach ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,378 ✭✭✭✭Clegg


    Is Ruddock captain now?

    Ringrose


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,224 ✭✭✭✭TheCitizen


    Ireland losing all composure now entirely.

    That sums up our attack disjointed and pedestrian

    We have been incredibly unlucky the last two weeks. Unreal at this stage.

    I don’t rate the coaching team but the amount of injuries now is nuts


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,250 ✭✭✭✭mfceiling


    Have to say our scrum is rock solid.

    It's like the Wild West here with all this talk of saloons.

    He's just not a head coach

    Not much protection in a scrumcap.

    He's an unlucky General.

    Thank god next week is a rest one.

    Might give a chance for us to regroup and get Ryan back into the side. Don't see Henderson being available to us for a few weeks.


    Definitely, need to get players back for the wooden spoon game against Italy


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


    I see Lowe has decided to pack in the tackling for the second half


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,358 ✭✭✭eigrod


    Can’t get out of our own half. France bossing this.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,378 ✭✭✭✭Clegg


    We're extremely lucky the French are making handling errors at crucial moments.

    They're murdering us at the contact area. Getting offloads out at will.

    French butchering keeping Ireland in the game

    Sinking feeling that this could get messy.

    Helps protect against cuts and ears being ripped off, there isn't much protection available for head on head hits.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,525 ✭✭✭kilns


    Lowe is so great going forward but defensively is shocking two missed tackles in the space of 30 seconds


  • Administrators Posts: 56,576 Admin ✭✭✭✭✭awec


    French mistakes the only thing that’s stopping them scoring now.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,705 ✭✭✭The Inbetween is mine


    I genuinely think Casey would thrive in this game right now

    Watch Aldritt for France with ball in hand. Every good backrow has 1 player who carries hard.

    Who just went through between two defenders and offloaded


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,874 ✭✭✭Doctors room ghost


    French are slack enough today


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


    The French bench is going to ruin us.

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