The IRISH RUGBY thread

Can't keep 15 men on the field and it's caused 2 tries.

Even if Ireland win this, France are just so more creative and better to watch. That was a class try.

[Wildweasel74]

You can fair see the different without u starting wingers.

Ireland's discipline has won them quite a few matches over the last few years. Not the only thing that'll cost them this one, but certainly a contributory factor.

[Wildweasel74]

That's a terrible try to give away their, slack as f**k!

Reality check today
Ireland in a trajectory of mediocrity for last year or so

Today shows they are not at the top table of NZ, France, SA

Severe lack of creativity

Could've easily lost to England & Wales

James Lowe now a key player on the side .. massive loss

When the chips are down, IRFU are found wanting.

[Wildweasel74]

Bad mistake by Sam there. Blind pass. Try was odds on with men over, and we give up 1.

[gallsman]

That one just adds insult to injury. France have been due a performance like this since the WC.

[weareros]

Tough one for the alickadoos but France have been brilliant. Imagine if Dupont was on field.

Jamie Osborne isn't an international player.

I'd love to see some stats on teams 'held up over the line' in this years 6nations. Ireland seem to have two or three every single game.

[Wildweasel74]

U starting without u 2 main wingers. Trying to blood players. Give away 2 tries during yellow cards, and give away 2 very slack tries. Not a good day. But we been making h alot of mistakes this year. Wonder is it to do with the manager away for lions duty.

[gallsman]

Baptism of fire this year for Prendergast. Some really good moments, but if he's the heir apparent, he's plenty more to do.

[JoG2]

France superb today.

We've a world class scrum half and a club level out half.

The Lions should be scrapped in this day an age.. Farrell away to manage them, what's that all about?
