The winners in this series could well be the guys who weren't there. The covid closed shop squad meant that the provinces could give developing players a good run. Coombes, Casey, Healy, Penney, and a few more have had a good run and proved their worth. Some of the senior players will not be return...

Lowe should not be there. As previously mentioned I hate the concept of poaches, but would now question Lowe's committment. Yes he was not playing yesterday afternoon, but instead of supporting his teammates by watching the match he went to the beach. He couldn't be arsed to chase back and stop Dal...

My understanding is all the negativity around him starting for Ireland has really got to him. Quelle surprise. It is mostly driven by the scarf wearing super fans who want to pretend they were watching rugby when Gunty mauled 29 players 100 yards down the pitch to have us beat Wales 4 points to 3, ...

Also, for the second week in a row, Byrne was a huge step down on Burns.

Naming him captain when he was playing poorly was a poor mistake. Continuing to start him and keeping him as captain is a bigger mistake.

Ryan has been the worst of Ireland's locks by a non-insignificant amount over the last few weeks.

Hard to be a successful coach when the player base is so shit. There isn't a fit Lion's standard tight 5 forward in the country.

Trostan wrote: ↑Sun Nov 29, 2020 4:48 pm Just as well we have Henshaw and Ringrose.

Are they any use in the tight 5?

Fogarty is stealing a living as a scrum coach.

Has to be a penalty for the off-the-ball shot on Daly.

Jumper

Ryan, the captain, being taken off so early says a lot.

Jumper

Everyone but Daly going to get loads of gametime.

Jumper

Ugly but effective kick from Stockdale.

Jumper

Is James Ryan on the pitch today?? Made a forward pass early on in the 2nd half. Very quite though. Get Bealham off. Ryan doesn't seem to engage with the ref at all. Herring doing the talking. Henderson doing some talking too. Ryan is a bit of an empty jersey this season so far; a shadow of the pla...

Healy on to end the Bealham experiment.

Massive power in the scrum from Ryan.

Stringer and Flannery having great craic.

Willie Falloon wrote: ↑Sun Nov 29, 2020 4:11 pm Ryan isn't as dominant as Porter.

Porter arguably the most important player in Irish rugby.

Porter isn't an especially strong scrummager....

Jumper

John Ryan on Apparently he is one of the strongest scrummaging tightheads in the Northern hemisphere. Why does he often sit on the bench behind Archer? There's more to TH play than scrummaging alone. There's also how you want to structure your team over 80 minutes. Anyone with an iota of rugby know...

Bealham got monstered. Not much Ryan can do.

So your point Willie is that a fullback shouldn't buy the dummy? I'm glad you agree with us. Point is that you and luckycharmer are full of crap when you state that Kearney was some sort of man mountain in defence. Great positioning and under the high ball, but heart of a lion in a tackle he wasn't...

Lovely pass by Stockdale.

He's such a dumb player.

Yup. Certain try with a 1-2-1.

Jumper

Luckycharmer wrote: ↑Sun Nov 29, 2020 3:24 pm And that sums up why Stockdale can't defend, absolutely awful 2nd time in 3 games he bought a dummy. Georgia hadn't scored a point this tournament up to then.

He buys dummies because he wants to. He wants to avoid contact at all costs.

Winnie wrote: ↑Sun Nov 29, 2020 3:22 pm Stockdale is still by a country mile out best attacking back

Nice kick ahead, but a 1-2-1 with Earls would have been an easy try.

And a second try made in Ulster.

Stockdale made a show of himself again.

Flannery slaughtering Stringer on Channel 4.

Brilliant by Farrell. He is so so good at that pass.

Poor start by Bealham.

Farrell is talking about shifting Porter and Bealham to LH. He clearly doesn't rate the available options at LH.

Jumper

Lowe dropped from the squad?

If Schmidt was still the coach, I couldn't imagine Lowe seeing many more opportunities as he would have no time for a lazy winger who can't be arsed in only his second cap. It looks like Farrell might be of the same mind.

EOS called in the Ireland squad as cover for Ed Byrne. Good shout with EOS. Cronin would be the best available LH after Healy by my reckoning, but he probably falls into the same boat as Ruddock and Cooney; too old to be worth bringing up to speed at the expense of younger players.

Is Coombes any bigger and more powerful than CJ? CJ would tear it up at Pro14 level in this Munster team against depleted opposition sides. Coombes looks the business but he has yet to move up a level (HC and international level) and prove himself. Hasn’t been easy for Doris so far.. granted he’s s...

Will Connors was brought straight into the Irish team before he played Heineken Cup rugby. There's no reason why Farrell shouldn't be doing the same with Coombes. Carrying, passing, lineout, and turnovers from a 6ft6 and 110 kg backrow. We'll see how he goes as he steps up the levels, but it's hard ...
