    Sure whatever you are having yourself

    He's dead right. I'm a huge Murray fan but the service he is giving Sexton is really bad. That said Sexton has been great at linking up. See his link up with Henshaw and Earls for the try for an example.

    I don't know why your trying to scapegoat Sexton. Mind boggling.

    Great fielding by Bowe and a good kick by Murray

    Murray is still kicking very well, maybe the decision to kick the second wasn't the best, no one chased.

    How long did he let that advantage last there?

    I think there was 2 infringements? He seemed to call another offside during it?

    Murray has been very poor, but claiming sextons playing well is madness in my opinion.

    Murray got lucky there, poor decision to kick with no chasers.

    Apart from the try? He also missed a very kickable pen and doesn't seem to control his back line

    See that pass to Sexton there for an example? Miles above his head off the lineout from Murray.

    Well there's the Sexton hoof into the air for 10 seconds.

    Don't forget

    -the line out to maul
    -Box kick after two phases
    -The loop
    -The cross field kick with advantage

    That's it really

    Kicker misses one penalty shocker. He has the backline running lovely lines, he is crisp and clean despite Murray lobbing passes over his head.

    See Earls try, Earls break, Henshaw break, Kearney break, Sexton break for example of his crisp passing putting players into massive space. He's literally been the sole reason of anything good in our backline.
