    Probably our best moment of the game so far from Ryan, well done!

    At least get your facts right...he had a horrible attempt at a drop goal and then a kick out on the full.

    At least get your facts right. I mentioned the kick. I think D'arcy has been poor and should go at half time but it seems his mistakes are exemplified more so than others. Ryans knocked on 3 times and no ones mentioned it for example.

    Awful first half from us. It's like 14 Irish internationals and a schoolboy out there with Darcy playing. Hes clearly way off form, get him off the pitch.

    That said, Lee Dickson is as bad a rugby player as I have seen in a long long time so it's 14 v 14 really.

    SOB and Heaslip are having a mare, who's on the bench as a replacement?

    The fact that you can't name the replacements says it all really

    This could be a turning point England should be 6 clear

    I would also take off DOC who has done NOTHING. must be 'unseen' work again.

    LOL did you write that before the game?

    SOB has won 3 turn overs and is making lots of yards. Heaslip has been good. Neither player is anywhere near having a mare. In fact SOB has been one of our better performerns.

    Hon Donnacha Ryan, single-handedly won 3 points there.


    Only 3 points down, definitely possible to pull it back. Hopefully Court will be okay in the scrum, if Ross' injury was the reason it was buckling, we might be able to get parity despite Court not being used to tighthead.

    Heaslip has been anonymous and has been in a green jersey for quite some time now.

    O'Callaghan is another who living on past glories out there. He needs to get physical.

    I'm not criticising him, I think hes been excellent. I am just pointing out how when certain players make mistakes they are jumped on more so than others.

    Dreadful game.

    Ferris, SOB, Kearney the pick of the bunch. Ryan great at breakdown but not a carrier.

    Negatives are Heaslip who's game is lacking intensity atm, D'arcy looks a broken man, Trimbles made some poor decisions too.
