Why is Ryan standing first receiver. Lost so much ball today.

...And trailing by 4, kidney brings on ROG complete stupidity.

He played just like Murray did earlier in the match

I meant in that phase, the speed of play was good, but then had no idea what to do.

Why is everyone shouting Bent? Are ye all homophobes or something??

Dont get so bent out of shape about it.

Silly bringing on ROG

Zebo's hands have been suspect... Could've put Bowe away but in fairness he's a winger, not a fullback.

The only time Murray played that slowly was when Heaslip was in the bin. They were trying to kill the binning

I don't remember Murray standing like a pregnant cow in a field

runman

No he isin't. Murray's had a great game. Two poor kicks, did very well otherwise. Was probably pick of our backs in the first half, made one of our two breaks, boxkicked well.

Yeah it's a shame. He won't develop it either without more time at 15. But he's done well, imo

leakyboots

Scrum has improved since Bent came on

tolosenc

Bent for the intercept try now...

irishbucsfan

Time for a magical rampage up the field with a last second try from Bent please.

leakyboots

Vital steal by Earls, he's had a good game, some dodgy passes but his tackling is A+, couple of breaks out of nothing too. Not bad for a fella just back from a few weeks out

Reddan dithered once and he was crucified, he's hardly getting preferencial treatment as you suggested

Kilkenny14

McCarthy MOTM - deserved.

Banbridgeman2

Get a bit of length on ffs

What else has he done? First thing he did was not take the ball out quick enough from the ruck. Hard to make an impression coming on, but he's not been at his best.

Stupid by O'Gara at the end.

Poor second half, christ.

budhabob

Ah ROG.

tolosenc

WF was that ROG?!

badbeatcentral

Great option Ronan, bravo

Cpt_Blackbeard

**** off ROG!

.ak

WTF ROG?

bossa_nova

Well ****ing done ROG :rolleyes:

B0X

****ing typical at the end there.

A-Train

Another game, another loss! Ireland played well in the 1st half then South Africa turned up and played.

flyswatter

Good first half performance, but I honestly thought the backline were hopeless today.

Aidric

Oh dear. Well that was a nice way to finish.

RuggieBear

who the **** kicked that?

pappyodaniel

Well we threw that game away!

Fireball07

Ah ROG...


Although I doubt we were going to score, lacked a bit of inspiration in the backs.

Banbridgeman2

ROG needs to go. Jackson please

Not denying that, just don't figure how you think Murray was so much better

All over. Another loss.

well it was always unlikely to score a try but that was a shocking decision...oh well. tame end alright

Glass Prison 1214

Please let that be the end of ROG's international career

CoDy1

Heaslip sinbin was a massive turning point regardless. Pity, He had a brilliant first half.

Reloc8

Really good shift by the pack all in all - nothing sparking outside them. Nothing.
