    Because his first, second and third thought these days is to kick the ball away.

    Feels like Ireland been on a downward curve this tournament. Unlike other teams and England getting better every game.

    Jamie Heaslip and the like should be banned from talking nonsense about powerhouse rugby nations.

    That truly was a terrible performance and I normally never say it but they completely bottled that.

    Was there any need at all for Murray to do that? Surely he knew very little time left… keep possession..

    England deserved it. Suppose the only positive is that it was with the last kick of the game, and it was their best game.

    Conor Murray and Peter O'Mahony getting a game in 2024 is a national disgrace.

    Bottlers again. So disappointing.


    brwin dead game management from Murray at the end.

    England deserved that, we were very poor across the board. That said better game management by Murray would have given us a victory. Can’t understand that decision to kick to touch rather than run through a couple more phases to run the clock down.

    England totally deserved that. Crap performance from us. 6-2 bench a predictable disaster when injuries hit.

    Yeah I know, but it kept them from singing that f*cking song for a few minutes anyway

    Awful box kick from Murray to set up that line-out. It enabled England to go wide off first phase because they knew we'd have to be cautious as it was kickable penalty range.

    Just bad execution.

    Best game England have played in a couple of years coupled with the worst game Ireland have played in a few years as well.

    He shouldn't have kicked at all. Another couple of phases needed there.

    This one sticks in the craw. I think England got away with a lot of cynical and dirty play today, and got a lot of soft penalty decisions.

    I don't know what happened with us though, whether it was the injuries or something else, but that second half just didn't click after the try.

    Murray kicked the ball back to England with a minute to go?? Madness but he's always done that and it backfired.

    When will they learn to control possession at the end of a game?


    We see this time and again, entirely predictable play. Someone needs to tell Murray it's not gaelic football he's playing.

    Bad clock management

    Drop murray and O Mahoney from 23 , and get rid of heaslip as a pundit( only way England can beat ireland is if we are down to 14 or 13
