It is so frustrating, we are looking like we can attack well in the backs but poor handling from certain players are killing us.

yeah he's looking pretty darn good! Think I even voted for both Earls and Gilroy as Irelands wingers to start pre 6N

To be fair it couldn't be wetter out there. There's gonna be knockons. At least the scrum looks ok so far.

To be fair Farrell is a very good kicker.
0-6 at 29 minutes.

I'm sorry but how does the assistant ref miss that throw going straight down the English side. It is supposed to be a contest, just like a scrumhalf is supposed to feed the ball straight into the scrum. Two extremely simple things to judge, and refs consistently fail to call them.
Edit;See that scrum for an example.

This game is proper knickers.
Partly due to both teams cageyness, mostly due to the conditions?

Well that is Ireland's tournament over. Ryle Nugent, go f**k yourself, and you too Lenihan. ROG has been playing like a drain for 18months.

Choke hold works there for Ireland.
The rain has definitely effected this one, so many drops and skill mess ups.
And now Rog is on.
Ireland will know bod has to stay on now.. The playmaker. Stay and they probably win.

Two weeks till the next game, but if that is as bad as it looked he will be out a while.

Ireland now losing Sexton as well. They are dropping like flies.
Cian Healy should be missing for a few weeks that was a nasty cheap shot though Farrell was a tad lucky not to see yellow early on.

I think ROG is the right player for this game. He knows how to play the corners. Saves having the ball in hand too much.
