He better hope they’re not watching this or that offer will be off the table fairly quickly!
I don’t care who plays number 10 but have to be able to kick your points and it looks like he’s not so he’s not an option.
sure why not put prendergast to 15, he stays that far back usually.
Bonus point secured thank GOD.
If we were playing any other team today besides Italy, we'd be losing for sure. Italy are the kings of imploding in 2nd halfs. The injuries they got didn't help either, to be fair to them.
If England beat Wales without a BP those 6 pts missed on conversions could be crucial to 2nd and 3rd in the table. Maybe 1st and 2nd.
Dear oh dear Hansen
That is so so poor
Irrelevant if we lose this
Italy not dead yet, another great try.
I take it all back about Hansen! I don't think I've seen Ringrose play so poorly in an Irish shirt ever!
Shocking stuff. If we lose this it's on Crowley with those missed kicks.
That's crap again.
And now we're only 5 points ahead because we can't defend and our 10 can't kick.
we have the worst backfield defence in the competition
Capuozzo is class. just a class act.
Within one score, due to missed kicks
Italy converting their trys might yet make the difference I fear
It's on Ringrose and Hansen for those woeful missed tackles and that missed catch
get Prendergast on before the Italians get back in the game
Ringrose has had an absolute stinker today in defence. Missed so many tackles, I don't know how this doesn't get highlighted more with him.
More than a few of our players look old out there or lost a yard or two of pacr
Lordy. Closing in on 30 minutes with an extra man and only five points ahead. Not good enough.
Well that's fairly obvious. But I'd imagine we'll win by 12 or so instead of 18.
It's not on any one player. We've just been very underwhelming in general.
Jamie Osborne must be fairly sick, both starting centres have been manure
Hard to believe a week ago we had a grand slam in sight we look disheartened and disheveled
We have the bonus point but I think we have to win also?????🤔🤔🤔
Not on one player sure but a 10 missing three conversions (two of which were not that difficult) has to take a decent chunk of responsibilty. It's a key function of his role.
are you a child?
the best player for Ireland has been Sheehan with the tries, and then Lamaro…
thats how bad we have been.
take those comments to the leinster thread.
As someone who bought JC had a justifiable gripe with the selection to date, I think today he hasn't proven that was the case. Good in defence and open play but you've got to make your kicks at this level.
So we have two 10s who have work to do this summer.
How was that Italian yellow card not upgraded to red?
Goodman is probably sacked if we lose this?
I mean yes. Anyone calling for JC cause of SP's ropey kicking at times this championship clearly hasn't been watching JC kick this season. He has been very, very poor.
But we should be several more tries up at this point. Absolutely braindead stuff out there across the board. Sheehan and Keenan about the only two you'd say are beyond too much reproach.
