The Third Test Thread.

This is just comical.... Against a team who were beat by Japan not long ago.

Felix Jones is God

Ffs Joe!!! Get some subs on..... we need fresh legs and ideas

best heaslip murray earls henderson look like tired men from the start. if we win it will some achievement.

vienne86

Too many errors. Guys are knackered. We need the bench.

TeoReid

Time for fresh legs

whatawaster

Jackson's kicking from hand is terrible

sydthebeat

Our locks are at walking pace

Clegg

This game is over.

Ireland can't get over the gainline and Jackson has to kick. But then there's no chase.

LuckyGent88

We are just out on our feet. Totally unorganised

Utopia Parkway

Ireland seem very disorganised today. Maybe tiredness accounting for mental errors.

Nift

Why isn't he going to bench. Kidneyesque. Ref is disgrace though.

Utopia Parkway

Joe is very slow with the bench at times.

whatawaster

Get ruddock and Dillane on FFS

gmurphy70

Earls has been shocking today-he offers very little now

Rigor Mortis

15 left, time to empty the bench.

When did we last score, 50mins ago?.

A-Train

What is the point of having a bench! Beyond clueless this second half!

JPCN1

Payne badly missed out there. Looks like they've run out of energy.

Time for Madigan, Dillane, Cronin and a decade of the rosary.

yosser hughes

Fatigue is definitely a factor. Losing the collisions everywhere now. It's a shame, they gave it a good go on this tour and can be very proud of themselves.

wp_rathead

mfceiling

awec

V poor. Every time he goes into contact I fear he will lose the ball.

Schmidt should have emptied the bench on 50. Has to take blame.

Though today we look like the frustrating Ire we all know.

Joe will get away with criticism due to all this fatigue talk.

clsmooth

Reddan with the turn over??!

vienne86

Well done Jackson, P!!!

Doesn't explain Marshal's appalling piece of distribution for he try that never was; plenty of gas to get the through the gap.

corny

This fatigue business is a complete cop out.

Ruddock and Dillane are on

Jacovs

Only a try in it. Keep the subs off Joe.

connemara man

Has Trimble won a high ball all series

former total

Good intro for Reddan.

six points in it. One big effort for the last ten minutes. Hopefully Dillane and Ruddock can get us on the front foot.

Ah here. Regardless of how this finishes it's been a great series.

Not really, 10 minutes to go and he's not using the bench to freshen things up a bit.

Sean Kinsella

What the HELL was that Jackson....??

vienne86

Cronin on. Madigan on to FB.

Redpill

Why are we using murphy instead of toner as our jumper on defensive lineouts?

nehe milner skudder

That no contest at maul is silly. Needs to be addressed

Redpill

Can see them getting an intercept try

gazump123

Serious pace from Cronin.

nehe milner skudder

Cronin is a freak

Kobe248

Christ Cronin is fast

FFSSSS

Clegg

That's that.

vienne86

Aw bugger - that was a great effort.....wasted now.

Stheno

WTF was that for?

Jacovs

Over 20 phases without giving away a penalty, instead winning one. Heart pounding in my throat.

ThisRegard

Balls.
