Penalty for the lead now...

Is it just me or has Murray slowed down in this half?

Fireball07

Hard to believe we're losing

O'Mahony is a penalty machine.

The Saffer player did the exact same for Earls' break, didn't release and went straight for the ball.

There's no threat from our backs too light

bleg

Right. Draw a line under those ten minutes and start to build again.

Cosmo Kramer

42 minutes of hard work undone in 10.

I am pie

Nead some leaders out there

Healy is unbelievably strong. Was Heaslip yellow a bit harsh? No warnings previously and penalty already called.

No he isn't

Murray degrading back to his hold self.

goreyguy

gimme some Reddan please.

Banbridgeman2

Murray needs to get to the rucks!!!!

Fireball07

Disappointing, we were making ground there.

CoDy1

Don't think a change in srumhalf would be the right decision at the moment, Murray is passing well and is making decent tackles, pulled off a try saving tackle just before they actually scored. Reddan wouldn't be much difference

He had carried in the previous one!

****ing hell come on lads that was always going to happen. Half backs need to know when to kick the ball, Sexton just wants to keep it in hand.

Banbridgeman2

Really need reddan maybe a bit of spark from McFadden too.

We were making ground and were just outside their 22

my god walsh!!

SA are forming the maul in front of the ball carrier and they've done it a few times now. Ref is oblivious.

Ah, no, cop.on please, blame the player who got binned & set the team on the back foot for this half

When in doubt, blame Heaslip

CIARAN_BOYLE

Trimble off for McFadden, I can understand that, Trimble hasn't been doing well Earls off would have been a slightly better call but I can understand this one

Tox56

Zebo is sharp, could be a really good fullback

leakyboots

Some great displays of footwork by Zebo and Earls there

durkadurka

Kick it js

Fireball07

Well done Earls

duckysauce

mc carthy class so far

goreyguy

McCarthy is brilliant.

We were on back foot anyway as SA decided to actually play this half.

Banbridgeman2

Don't know about that, kick is too difficult for his bad side

irishbucsfan

I think it could be time for Reddan. Murray has been good but I think it would be a boost now to have a familiar pairing to take the pressure off Sexton and we head into the closing stages.

When leading before he was binned & then down after 10 mins, he has to hold his hands up just a little. Suppose its all Murrays fault

Cosmo Kramer

Trimble has had around 50 caps now to prove he is international standard and still hasn't done it. I don't think he will ever be able to step up from provincial level to international.

Burgo

Damn, just short from johnny.

[Jackass]

Earls doing very well with ball in hand. Not many players have looked dangerous.

C'mon Johnny!

Foxtrol

60 minutes - ROG on Sexton to 12??

Trimble was grand today. Nothing special but solid.

Reddan on.

tayto lover

How long do you get to take a penalty in rugby please?

Sexton seems to take ages.

tolosenc

Reddan on, ROG to follow shortly surely.
