The IRISH RUGBY thread

Maybe not be embracing that arrogance after all

[Truthsayer]

Am no rugby expert but why kick the ball away when you can hold possession for the last minute?.. run the aul clock down 🤷

[Wildweasel74]

Murray best days long behind him, just too slow with the pass and just kicks away possession all the time, we not South Africa with massive wingers to contest balls. Back up hooker can't throw  great. And the sub split should been 5/3.

Beautiful.

I genuinely never understand why this always happens. Surely run another couple of phases to run clock down

Up the jumper was the better option than kicking it away

Complacency a killer, made average England team look good today. Defeats like that shows why the Irish rugby team struggle to make any impact in the knock out stages of the World cup.

We have blood up to 4 players next year, Subs impact way below the starters. Aki a massive man for Ireland, don't know what they do when he goes.

[gallsman]

Really struggle to understand how a team playing poorly that comes back to lead from deficits twice can be accused of bottling anything.

A lot of twats in the world I guess.

England lucky not to get a red card but need look at again. Had Sexton been there, I think we would won,Ireland flyhalf Crowley didn't control the game well and his kicking wasn't great to spread England out abit.

Christ there 2 penalties give away, Ireland had the ball with 2 and half minutes to go, can't understand why they didn't grind the clock.

90 secs left and Conor Murray does a 'Conor Murray'. Needs his P45. England unrecognisable there for most of that game. Very impressive, and we were well below par. Some contest

A game riddled with poor errors.  England fully deserving of it .

Man of the match to Jamie Heaslip.  He loaded their guns.

Heaslip should have any future microphone taken off him and shoved up his hole. That sort of trash talk should be left to the Aussies. It's childish and just pumps up the opposition.

Regardless, the game was lost with that one Murray decision.

This complacency malarkey.. So a team starts a game complacent (even away to England), have a poor start, go behind etc, does the complacency remain for the entire game or can a team shake it off? Or just have an off day?

No good under pressure usual story.
