What a difference 40 minutes makes.

"Poison" you're a grown man ffs, try to act like it

Shut the fudge up mullet

He’s Not been up to it for a long time and I’ve consistently said it. Take the blue goggles off and you’d see it yourself

He's a multi trophy winning legend

You're a fool on the internet. "Poison" go back to your Nintendo poindexter this is a mans game.

What an embarrassment of an effort.

Can we all agree he should be dropped for the foreseeable future?
Talk about living off past glories. Disgraceful stuff.
Plus he had Jonny may half an inch from the touch line and somehow couldn’t put him into touch.

We have been completely and utterly dismantled, 30 points plus would be a much fairer reflection.

We're going back 20 odd yards in 5 phases it's incredible.

Ryan literally the only player winning any sort of physical battle

DOB reminded me that Conway is doing so also.

We are being blown off the pitch, Hendo isn't doing a fucking thing to move the needle here.

Man you’re just some fool from Malahide pissing his pants because someone is giving out about his favourite player on the internet . Total fool . Embarrassing

Yep - he has been very good. Clearing out like a lunatic.

Jim Lahey · Post by **Jim Lahey** » Sun Feb 23, 2020 4:55 pm

I hate to say it but I think POM has been our best player.

Mr. Very Popular · Post by **Mr. Very Popular** » Sun Feb 23, 2020 4:55 pm

We need someone to become an absolute cünt
Stockdale can't come out for the second half, Hendo is being badly missed

Not once under Joe for all the success could we turn it around once the other side got on top.

We'll see now if Farrell is different

We don't have any gamebreakers imo.
VDF POM and Stander are all grafters.
Centres are grafters.
Conway is a decent attacking threat, but that's it.
Larmour is shellshocked, Stockdale.

He's had the odd decent intervention at the lineout, but that's the extent of it.

I'd make him available against treviso next week. Confidence looks shot

Scannell's having a stormer.

I still think we can win

IBWT · Post by **IBWT** » Sun Feb 23, 2020 5:02 pm

England’s game plan of kick the ball into space and allow Ireland to make a mess out of it is working perfectly for the second year in a row.

Stone · Post by **Stone** » Sun Feb 23, 2020 5:03 pm

Ireland should sack the forwards coach and beg Plumtree to come back, he would be worth every penny.

15/1 at HT on Paddy Power.
You’d need to brave/thick.

Can we dig up someone to replace Aki?

IBWT · Post by **IBWT** » Sun Feb 23, 2020 5:07 pm

10 turnovers for England.

There's a pretty good option playing at Ulster...

JoeMangled · Post by **JoeMangled** » Sun Feb 23, 2020 5:08 pm

They have a team of fired up ball carriers and we don't. It would be truly gruesome if billy vunipola was playing.

What the fudge was Murray doing there.

POM has carried well this half

Hes taken the ball quickly from the base and kept the tempo up. Best of our back row. Sexton ffs

Sexton kicking it like a bag of cement.

Can we have Cooney on now? If anything for the kicking.

He’s 34 in a young mans game.

Right Cooney.
This is your chance.
It's not an easy or comfy one, but it's your chance.

Big chance cooney. Take it
