Sure he is... :rolleyes:

Lovely kick there from Fiji, split the posts. Good enough game so far, plenty of ball in hand. Can't help but feel were playing Fiji at their own game a bit.

MadYaker

Yeah Marmion needs to settle.

Fijians aren't going to let this go without a fight.

He butchered one opportunity but otherwise I think he's fine.

Twice now the Fijians have put two into the counterruck one behind the other and its blowing our single man off the ball.

sydthebeat

But he never scores tries

vienne86

Good man Dave - lovely try.

A-Train

Super Dave gets over, good work from Conway

Welcome back Dave Kearney. You're a try scorer.

Poor technique, he should have swan dived, no?

Diabhal Beag

The most in-form winger in Irish rugby judging by the last 10 seconds.

MJohnston

This is why I'm glad we don't do experimental sides more often. So messy, so reliant on individual skill.

clsmooth

Brilliant finish by D Kearney. He’s back :cool:

The Steward personally escorting to ball into the try zone, that's commitment.

Dave_The_Sheep

Of course a real top winger would have gotten it under the posts.

clsmooth

Conway looked electric there. Really putting his hand up to nail down a starting jersey

connachta

When for once a Connacht player seems to be favorite to play a RWC in the 23, he kicks him out by himself. Marmion is poor for now...

I hope the scouts in Toulouse aren't watching this...

Don Kiddick

Good work by all concerned there, nice team try

MadYaker

Carbery fluffs the kick again.... we can probably afford it against fiji but not against the big teams.

Yeaaaah

MadYaker

Fiji needs to score next to give us a run for our money

thomond2006

Mexican waves.

*Shakes fist at TV*

MadYaker

That guy lined up across from carbery is twice his size

Ugh! Hate it.....TG I'm not there!

awec

People who do Mexican waves should be banned permanently from all rugby everywhere.

He's got a better chance than TOH !

MJohnston

Jesus you can tell our back line have no familiarity with each other.

MadYaker

Hah, you can see the midfield circle from the ire vs den match

vienne86

Dave again!

Don Kiddick

DK is some opportunist

Kearney around 2 foot from the centre line between the posts, really not good enough for a top level player.

A-Train

Great from Kearney, very unlucky with the knock on

Diabhal Beag

Joe is never wrong (unless it's TOH related).

vienne86

No try - that's fair enough.

dublinman1990

No try. Conway is at fault there.

chatticusfinch

Unlucky on the knock on there.

RK surely would have got that

A-Train

GO on Jack, great try

vienne86

Try for Jack Conan - delighted for the guy!

Zebo would have caught it and ran it in by himself

LuckyGent88

All a bit easy. Disappointed in Fiji so far

MadYaker

Tries all around

Bit disappointed the camera didn't pan to CJ on the bench there

Everdene

Fast feet from Conan

chatticusfinch

That pick up and run was a beauty.

dublinman1990

Ireland has 10k try points thanks to Carbery.
