Well done the lads :smug: Well earned :thumbup: Look what that performance by Josh brought out of the woodwork :lol: :thumbup: He was great throughout the series tbf :smug: But motm kudos to Beirne today :thumbup: And the likes of Sheehan and Keenan were great too. Great bunch of lads :thumbup:

Incidentally, on the "you can't give vdF MOTM if we gave up penalties at the breakdown," the first of those penalties was when the Irish player who ran for 20m off a JGP offload and got turned over in the Italian 22 for lack of support was... Josh van der Flier. Those complaining that VdF didn't ca...

Salanya

A few too many mistakes by Ireland. The call to go for points cost us.

Also, whoever decided on the kicking tactic needs a telling off.

But the French were very good, great match, ref was good and all played in good spirit.
Close but no cigar this time.

Salanya

Sheehan is a young little legend.

With those points we'll still lose. Shame about the call to go for the points earlier.
Or about the previous line-out Hendo didn't catch.

Good match though.

These halfbacks may be too slow for the tempo we need to win here.

Happy to be proven wrong.

Salanya

Where is Beirne supposed to go?

Fair dues ref. Yes, the facts are correct.

Need to get the momentum back.

Salanya

Oh good, POM is on.

Salanya

See, we're not that bad at all, just needed to keep the ball.

Nice work from the lads.

Salanya

Would get Hendo Pom and Henshaw on ASAP, VDF has been quiet and Aki is just bashing Not POM. Really should have someone like Coombes who could make an impact in this situation. VdF is doing what he needs to. Is also covering Joey. Don't need a POM, just be a penalty fest. As someone else has said, ...

Salanya

Some harsh comments on here.
The French are good, we've had a few errors, and we've kicked too much ball away.
Missing Sexton as well to take some control.

Not great, but not a horror show either. All to play for in the second half.

Salanya

I know the French aren't great with the up and unders, but it's not gaining us much either.

Rather we kept the ball and built some phases.

Salanya

Well, both teams are ready to punish any mistakes out there.

Could be some match.

Salanya

If you were happy with 3 points, why waste 3 minutes by going for the corner twice?!

Especially when on penalty advantage. Bit dense.

Salanya

Well done Scotland.

Enjoy your loss Eddie Jones.

Salanya

Right call. Come on Scotland.

England have to ask themselves why a hooker was covering the wing there....

Salanya

We've gone off the cliff with these Munster halfbacks.

Has to be said, Hansen has lovely hands
Which cream does he use?

I think it was spray on glue

Salanya

POM on so Wales will get a few penalties now

Has to be said, Hansen has lovely hands

Salanya

Leading with the shoulder, i.e. was never going to be able to catch a ball.

Which is just daft of Adams, on penalty advantage and on attack.

Reversed penalty would have been enough for me, but the stupidity of it is obvious.

Salanya

Nordies picking on Ringer

Not like there's an Ulsterman on the bench they want on.

JGP not on great form today. Sexton was too slow in that final attack - pass a second quicker and Ringrose was through an easy gap.

Decent performance, but dropped off after a great first 10 minutes.

That's normally my line, there's a reason I didn't say it today

Run out of beer already?

Ah now, Keenan isn't the flashiest of players, but he's far more than reliable. Showed great speed again today, lovely passing, great defence and positioning. And the consistency is awesome. It'll take a very special player to take the 15 shirt off him anytime soon. Addison and Stockdale are talente...

Has the guy ever not scored in a game

Think he may have scored every time he has been on this season.

JOB has been excellent today, him and Keenan are a lovely combo.

Jonny still rusty?
Barely had the ball, and been under a wee bit more pressure than last week. Definitely too early to tell about that.

Hmm, 10 minutes later, still looking rusty to me.

Mr. Very Popular wrote: ↑Sat Jan 22, 2022 2:26 pm Doubt he'll be back from that HIA

Shouldn't be back - that was a bad drop, especially if he's only back from Head Injury.

Hope he's okay obviously.

Ah now, he's having a rusty season.

Especially after the commentary of Kaiser and BOD the previous match.
BOD is an awful commentator tbf.

He's a better analyst, but him and Kaiser were a nice combination today.

He's wearing very big shoulder pads for a back. Strong finish.
It’s almost like he is just coming back from a shoulder injury
Who’d a thunk it

Fair enough - thought it was a calf injury.

Pffft, didn't even get to 90.

Another VDF motm. Could have been anyone from 6-9 really - backrow and JGP on lovely form.

Honourable mentions for Ringrose, Larmour and JOB, who've improved their form over the break.

Salanya

Will Sheehan get the 20 minute hattrick?

Salanya

Thought they missed that elbow/shoulder there for a moment.

I enjoyed it

Foot was in touch - slow spot by the assistant ref

Montpellier making Ross Byrne looking like a balling gap-hunter.

Edit: until he starts kicking himself....
