    how can we be so strong against Austrailia and get hammered by a team like France?

    Pokock and Moore are huge losses.

    Listen mate, its quite clear you have an agenda. Who would you like to bring on Dennis Leamy or Donnacha Ryan instead? LOL.

    Ireland are doing very well, it would be madness to change the team.

    Ryan on, SOB to number 8 simple as.

    Now to survive the Australian onslaught in the second half. Cooper or Beale will eventually break through one of the gaps. We need now to be kicking the points, and for that I would bring on Rog.

    However Sexton is doing everything right in defence so it is a difficult problem. Would probably leave Sexton on for another 15 mins at least and change it up then.

    Australia haven't put it up to us like I thought they would, not yet at least.

    If we bring ROG on at half time, defeat is guaranteed. The Australians are going to play some great attacking rugby and we'd better have something to attack back with.

    Do we dare to dream?

    Scrum is absolutely fantastic.

    I'd like to see the Irish backrow carry more, Heaslip is a bit quiet again. Ferris coming back to his best.

    Much better half of rugby from ireland - i'd say Sexton will be given ten mins and then replaced, should have gotten that penalty in front of the posts.

    It would be a ridiculous decision. The Ireland defensive line is keeping out Australia of all teams. We can win this but if O'Gara comes on Australia will start targetting the 10 channel and while ROG might not miss the tackles he will definitely get pushed back given Australia the momentum they crave. I would be seriously concerned if Kidney changed anyone on the team.

    A lot of good in that first half. Just those misses have kept us pinned a bit.

    Yeah, if we had gotten even one being ahead at ht would have been huge!

    Delighted to see them playing much better - keeping the play moving quite well. Good hands so far - much better! Same again for the second half!

    You want to put on Donnacha Ryan against Australia in a world cup game? Is that a joke? Hes started 1 HC game in his life and barely makes the Munster team. I'm sorry I can't take you seriously anymore.

    Happy with that first half effort. All playing well except for the hapless Darcy and Sexton messing up once too often. The scrum is putting in a super effort.

    O Gara needs to be brought in for the second half and I think we can nick this.

    Matter of time til they get going, as seen in the italy match last week. We have not been clinical enough despite our good play and this will be punished in the second half imo, we're not going to be able to live with them for another 40 and we really do not look like scoring a try

    Australia struggling in their own line out, why can't we kick to the corners more, and play ball in their half?

    I'm all for taking points and playing percentages but outside the two missed kicks, Sexton is having a good game. Taking him off would be madness right now. He's part of a side that is driving us down the field into scoring positions.

    Good to see Darce putting himself about so much. Makes a nice change.
