    We're going to lose this. World cup could be over by next Sunday

    How many metres does the advantage last, Garces? They made a load off the secondary maul, then cross kick and catch, surely that's bloody over.

    Not blaming him for our poor play, in case that's not clear. We're simply not at the races so far.

    We really do like to save our worst performances for the biggest stage, don't we.

    Not happy with this at all.

    I didn't think Earls was having the particularly standout game a few of the posters on here suggested, and 2 completely brainless offloads have him in my bad books now(the second one nearly lead to an Italian try).

    Murray is having an absolute shocker.

    The boys need to step up big time.

    Ireland thought they had to show up. France will be licking their lips for next week. Hopefully we can see this out.

    Should there be a French referee in this game?

    Why shouldn't there?

    Garces seems quite inconsistent with what he allows defensively at the maul.

    Kearney should have taken Earls' offload.

    Off his knees at pace?

    Yeah he's doing ok, brilliant at the start but few mistakes creeping in now. Sexton is doing much better now, henshaw has been solid throughout.

    I think Murray is hurting the team, no idea what's up with him today.

    What did Ireland do there that Italy didn't do taking down Irelands maul before half time?

    Italy have played well and deserve to be in front. Too many errors from our side.

    We were penalised there for exactly what Italy did in the first half.

    Because this game affects France. He wouldn't be allowed ref a French game

    Well I guess he finally popped up! Great tackle. I'd still look at Henderson at 6 instead though.

    He's our best player out there today!

    A lot of Irish lads seem rusty from the 2 week break.

    He should have got his hands to it, very poor from Kearney.

    In fairness, Ireland never got moving the way Italy did.
