Joe dropping Toner. Rob & Heaslip picking up up injuries.

Hendo, Payne & POM were simply immense.

Ancillary factor: the bench being used earlier than last week.

We weren't as stupid as England, but still pretty thick.

As the lads on RTE said, luck.

We were lucky that Rob and Heaslip got injured.
You might even argue that Murray getting injured added to it, as this forced Ireland to move away from kick chase.
Just because a post upsets you, that doesn’t mean that it is wrong. People have different views in all aspects of life, this is a key ingredient to an interesting conversation.

And so it begins. 20 minutes after the game ends, the attempt to discredit Schmidt starts. That must be a new record M1?

Enjoy the win.

You haven't a clue.
For a Munster man not to mention D. RYAN immense performance says it all.
D. RYAN was mom in the first half - just an incredible contribution.

I am enjoying the win, it was one that like many, I did not predict.

My opinion is backed up by how well both Payne and POM played. Both players were massive today.
POM was due to be on the bench, but went on to be voted MOTM. His line-out work was something that Ireland were missing in our defeats.

If you have an alternative opinion, then give it. But don't act like a 6 year old by trying to discredit my opinion, by just saying that I am wrong because my opinion differs from yours.

I will be surprised if I read the news papers tomorrow and they do not share my view.

Agreed. But whatever your mirror or Joe told you, it was Hendo that replaced Toner, not Ryan. :lol:

Great counter opinion as always.

Stay classy.

In two threads now you've done the same thing, less than half an hour after the game, so I think you can discredit your opinion all by yourself!

Anyway, great win, well done Joe and the team. :happy clapper:
