Rugby nut and a bit left wing...
All the debates about what Barrett's best position would be when he signed, he just plays all of them

Too much process and not enough passion. We've become too passive

No dog. Defeated before they run on to the pitch

Is it simplistic to think that the final subs weakened us significantly in defence? Henderson and Healy don't have the mobility nor energy to fill gaps or pull out of mauls quick enough to avert breaks by fresh legs...

Also, rubbish. Dan and the two Jacks were pure class when they came on, they were the winning of the game

How do they create so much constant noise even when play is at a low ebb? Puts the Aviva to shame

When Coaches in the mid nineties first saw Keith Wood fielding in his own 22 and clearing the ball into the oppositions and realised they no longer had to play with 14 men and a thrower.

I think O'Mahony would make an excellent line out and maul coach when he retires

I don't know how to post 4 neat pictures like that. You'll understand why when my 4 games would be tennis on the grandstand console, pong and space invaders on the Atari and Olympic games on the Sega master system (my little brother's) 😁

I have to say as an Irish rugby fan that I think England are ahead of us right now in terms of building for the six nations and through to the next world Cup cycle. I don't fancy facing them once they work out how to close the game down with 15 to go.

I think the out half's importance is amplified in a team like Ireland who rely on practiced set plays with high accuracy. If the timings off or he's targeted they don't have the pace or flair in the backline to compensate.

Called it

Need more aggression up front, Ryan isn't it. Need pace in the backline, we're all about the smarts but no raw pace when we things loosen up. Last 39mins 6 and 7 are off the pace and we fail to support one off runners. Osborne looks good but we can't expect O'Mahony to keep up with him.

I know but we lack heft in the squad...

We've no forward momentum, really miss Furlong.
