A few less f&ck ups and we'd be out of site. Italians have to tire after all them tackles

We weren't complaining . Just stating the factsDave Cahill wrote:Ireland are playing exactly like Leinster played in the Aviva games against Munster under Schmidt. Win the match but give nothing away for the European games coming up. Same here, win the match but reveal nothing to the opposition video analysts

Serious strength from Henderson in the build up

The 2nd half has been quite similar to the game in the avocado last year, less accuracy though. We got that score from Italian mistakes. Forward pass charge down mail infringement

Not a great game or a great performance, but I'd be very surprised if Schmidt wasn't happy overall. The game was won without having to exert ourselves or show our hand too much

I think te BR needs to be Henderson/POM/Heaslip against France with Jordi on the bench. Are Mick Mc and/or Foley back?

Not giving up set plays is great and all, but you can't help but feel that there were plenty of bad decisions made in broken play.Dave Cahill wrote:Not a great game or a great performance, but I'd be very surprised if Schmidt wasn't happy overall.

Anyone care to explain the amount of times zebo and Payne switched?

Dunno who got MOTM today but I thought O'Mahoney was excellent in attack and defence.
We all dream of a team of Sean O'Briens......

Given the unexpected brilliance of Keatley and the acknowledged fact that Joe always picks on form, there is no way that Sexton could come back - even into the squad.
