There isn’t the same market for pure opensides in Ireland that there is in the SH. We tend to favour 6.5s, even our specialist opensides are often able to move cover the backrow.

It’s harder to balance the backrow for groundhog opensides in Ireland.

There was an argument for giving last weeks team another go.
There was also the argument that picking our GS team was the way to go.
A win today will justify the selection.

Jesus I get that they are short of money but could the Aussies not afford someone who could actually hold a note, to sing Irelands Call?

They exposed our hesitation in defence. Yellow card for Oz

Sexton alone has upped our performance from last week 10%.
POM, Leavy having a big impact.
Scannell showing he deserves his spot too.

Bringing on Herring right when he had to make a clutch throw on their line was an unbelievably poor call from Schmidt.

Harsh on Earls for no try, he did brilliantly. I can understand the McGrath call but...

One more penalty and Oz have to ship another yellow.

Ozzy commentators saying after Furlong's try that he has run more metres than any other Irish player.

Thought Scannell did well, O'Mahony having a very good game. Henshaw much better at 12

Pom's had at least 3 excellent turnovers...playing well as you say.
We all dream of a team of Sean O'Briens......

Yeah one of his best games for us in a long time. Very involved.
