Fair play to Italy, great defensive performance - Ireland have been shite today

We just did the equivalent of taking on a striker and bringing on a defensive midfielder!!! Cant believe theyve taken Sexton off . . . VERY worried

Cant believe that either. They will target him in this phase but I think this fuggin ref will give a penalty try here.

Still amazed he brought him on maybe he was afraid Sexton would keep trying to play out of his 22.

Looks a good call now though.

O'Gara to the rescue lucky lucky Ireland!!

Maybe not

Sexton is the man but O'Gara is the master.

Lucky escape.

Well put.
He seems to take pleasure from being in the most pressurised of situations

O'Leary, Fitzgearld and O'Callaghan should not be in the squad never mind starting. Best and Wallace should not be starting but worth a place on the bench.

Very disappointed and Kidney is really just Eddie mark II

What do you suggest o wise one?

Suppose Sexton deserves a chance here but mark my words he will f**k it up yet.

Persisting with the pretender Sexton is going to cost us trophies, O'Gara is the real Mc Coy.

Best Irishmen was O'Callaghan by quite a distance, Earls, BOD and O'Connell next. Fitzgerald was a mixed bag but managed well step up from his usual displays for Leinster.

Disappointed for Italy, with a bit more nous maybe they could have gained a better position to drop a deserved winner.

Following Toby Flood being given it yesterday, a even worse decision was given today, think it was Sean O'Brien, purely on reputation. I'd say SeaBass will get it during the next match after a 5 minute cameo where he knocks on twice and gets sinbinned.
