Ireland v France 2021 6n

awec · 14-02-2021 05:52PM

Clueless at the end. Just trying to bosh a hole. No invention whatsoever.

A-Train · 14-02-2021 05:52PM

Wooden spoon it is

Coaching team is going to under pressure now. Ireland look so badly coached.

Basics are terrible, attack is shocking.

Lineout has gone well.

Clareman · 14-02-2021 05:52PM

That last few minutes summed up Ireland, totally 1 dimensional

Pudsy33 · 14-02-2021 05:52PM

Mike Catt p45 please, I have absolutely no idea what our attack is about

its_phil · 14-02-2021 05:52PM

Awful.

Mike Catt...where are we going?

Fair play to Ross Byrne, deserves credit for those kicks, but he has got to get out of the pocket.

pc7 · 14-02-2021 05:52PM

Aw ballix, gutting.

Clegg · 14-02-2021 05:52PM

Zero idea once the ball went beyond Ross Byrne. I've seen set piece solidity, excellent defensive lineout work, accuracy at the ruck but zero attacking threat.

Mike Catt has to go.

Euphoriasean · 14-02-2021 05:52PM

Its was like they thought they needed to score a try. Why not just keep it tight when we got inside there 10 meter line.

Dr. Bre · 14-02-2021 05:52PM

Heart break

We're kicking because we don't have any shape ball in hand.

Gibson-Park making fools of the teeth gnashers on here.

Thought Gibson-Park had a very mixed game tbh. I really wouldn't be using it as any defence of his selection.

Why are the crowd booing and whistling?

We actually made it harder with the bizarre home crowd sound. He should be sacked . Like we were away.

Larbre34 · 14-02-2021 05:53PM

We're just clueless when it comes to championship moments and even more clueless when it comes to fixing Shawn Edwards defences, for 20 odd years now.

yop · 14-02-2021 05:53PM

Can't see anything that farrell has brought to this team.
Basic skills , position and decision making leave a lot to be desired.
That last phase sums us up.

cantwbr1 · 14-02-2021 05:53PM

Did the ref give any jackal penalties to anyone?

Rugby4568 · 14-02-2021 05:53PM

Leo Cullen should be the head coach.

touts · 14-02-2021 05:53PM

Wooden Spoon decider in two weeks and Italy will fancy their chances.

Let Farrell finish out this mess of a 6 nations then he has to go.

TomsOnTheRoof · 14-02-2021 05:53PM

People can disguise it however so they like but that was a poor performance. Outside of our set piece play I can't see what the coaching ticket are bringing

Well the last phases summed it up really.

Going nowhere and getting nothing.

It summed up why we mostly kicked instead.

Will take that given the week we've had.

osarusan · 14-02-2021 05:53PM

We were still doing the same thing in the 80th minute that didn't work all game.

rodge123 · 14-02-2021 05:53PM

I think that last passage of play just shows why Ross byrne ain’t our long term solution either, just takes the standing still and shovels it on every single phase.
As someone said earlier, I think Catt is stealing a living on this coaching ticket.

swiwi_ · 14-02-2021 05:53PM

Pearce was very average at reffing the breakdown.

The hate on here for some of the Irish players is incredible. Some people are just sad losers.

razorblunt · 14-02-2021 05:53PM

That was an embarrassing finish. Knocked back 20 yards, never broke their line once and then turned over.
Taking an age to get the ball to Byrne who’s standing so deep the defence can just come up and smother them.

magic17 · 14-02-2021 05:54PM

Disappointing stuff but we gave it a good go in fairness against a good French team.

Have we considered bringing in some Australians? These South African and New Zealanders aren't cutting it IMO
