D'arcy shouldn't be near the team at this stage, there are much better options at 12

Rightwing

Great to see them take good care of the chap anyway.

Mahatma Geansai

Maybe I'm being too callous and I do hope the lads are ok, but shouldn't that be Ireland's ball for accidental offside?

Howard Juneau

A little over 5 minutes there. Glad to see the doctors took their time & Pisi got well looked after

Gonna be a nightmare when it comes to their turn to buy the round after.

Nope, left the hand in and held up play. Pen.

Best has been excellent, but I'd like to see Cronin.

Fireball07

Did you see those hands from a prop??



Their number 23 is a big lad.

Time for Madigan to get a go now.....

So now you know Coach, you have your work cut out with this mob...very average team performance.

I honestly thought Schmidt would clear out the deadwood. Disappointing to say the least.

I'm sure he'll get round to it though. He is a shrewd man.

D'Arcy been poor, Marshall have been better served been given a game

Plus what is with the PA system blaring Fields Athenry?
We are not Saracens

Skid X

The Fields of Athenry being played over the Loudspeaker is cringe-worthy.

Skid X

H'on Dave Kearney!!

Burgo

Go on Dk first cap and first try!

Fireball07

That was nice! Try for sure.

Davei141

Delighted for D. Kearney great finish

Kanrith

Feel happy for Kearney

Mcfadden has shown his work today as well, he may not be a twinkle toes but he is highly effective

Blackheath

Good man PJ

Clegg

Excellent team try.

Hard to tell. Jack McGrath isn't ahead of Cian Healy

He was brilliant in the built up to the try, but he hasn't been brilliant otherwise. He has worked his socks off, but I don't think he has the mass needed for his direct style to work at international level.

Great to see Rob be the man to give Dave the last pass.

Healy was named in the original squad though, Trimble wasn't ?

I guess you haven't seen him play much, because one of his strengths is his bulk and his ability to drive through tackles. He is incredibly difficult to take down.

Reddan does add a bit of spark in round the base of the scrum
