Great scrum. Hopefully a big swing in momentum there but I doubt it.

Probably a good time to give Madigan a few mins at 9 if we can.

Re: World cup warmups
Aside from bumping off one tackler SOB has been poor.

On Tommy...never seen him play anywhere near as bad as this.
Sexton poor too.

Re: World cup warmups
This performance is as poor as anything from the fag end of the O'Sullivan or Kidney reigns, but the thing is that whereas we'd be 20 odd points down back then, we're still really in this

Re: World cup warmups
At least we finished better & the scrum looks good but we could have been 20pts down.

Re: World cup warmups
Dave Kearney is literally the only positive I take from that half. Wouldn't blame Zebo for the second try and even though I thought his performance has been very positive overall, the mistake for the first try really was very bad.
Lots of rearranging to do if Bowe comes off, can't see us doing it.

Re: World cup warmups
Did Joe leave the wrong winger back in Ulster? Tommy Bowe is a shadow of what he once was.

Re: World cup warmups
Think our scrum & line out will be good at RWC & Dave Kearney looking the business. The centres too are not bad. We do need stronger ball carriers though & a lot more invention out wide.

Re: World cup warmups
Toner playing his way out of the starting, really poor workrate and tackling, no aggression, ryan will be brought on soon enough.
Re: World cup warmups
Best and Bowe have been woeful.
Sexton has been poor.
11 missed tackles!
Dave has looked razor sharp.

Hes missed a tackle. Lets not overstate his errors. The entire pack is just sitting there and letting the Englanders hit us time and time againleinster10 wrote:Toner playing his way out of the starting, really poor workrate and tackling, no aggression, ryan will be brought on soon enough.

Re: World cup warmups
England were as bad against France in first 60 mins as we are today. If we stop missing tackles we might even have a chance today. England are not as good as they look now esp in set pieces & breakdown.

At least two tackles for Toner but he was giving up ground on some he made too.Logorrhea wrote:Best and Bowe have been woeful.
