Lowe is so far off being international standard in defence it’s laughable

Can see why he’s a NZ reject, remember when he was so good in 2017/2018 I miss that Lowe

Ireland don’t have a left winger who can defend

You were saying? Your weird negative obsession with him is embarrassing.

I was saying he approaches the game of rugby as if tackling is optional.

Was I wrong or something?

Ed Byrne made a better attempt at making the tackle there.

France more clinical. Lowe never made the ABs IMO for his defensive issues. France know what they want to do in the 22, even if they’ve stuffed it up a fair few times.

I'm not pinning this one on the players, we are so badly coached. What is the plan?

Definitely a valid question at this point.

Larmour for Lowe must be soon

Niallof9 · 14-02-2021 05:22PM

We are woeful. Farrell out..

Too many Irish players have just given up.

The last thing Rob Kearney did before he left Leinster was teach James Lowe how to tackle.

Well done Earls, thoght it was madness short kicking to the smallest man on the pitch but we'll take the penalty.

Have to say I'm not a fan of this law of the player jumping into the player gets the penalty.

He has shown zero to back up the decision to pick him.

And Byrne has shown no reason to have picked him!

Everything is just so poor

It’s even more gut wrenching because France were there for the taking but the usual problem of not taking our chances has come back to bite us and there is no worse team to do that against than France.

Defensive organisation nowhere near what it was before thier first try. We've gotten sucked in to rushing things... We can't play the way the French do, need to settle.

All we’ve heard from certain sections is how is the best winger in Europe and he’ll show us all

He shouldn’t be near starting another test game in the near future
