Ireland v USA | Joe Schmidt 36 hour speculation thread

Some Yoke

Is Carbery a better full back than larmour?

mangobob

Nothing against the guy personally, but something about Jackmans voice wearies my ears. Hard to listen to him for 80 mins.

fitz

The gulf in quality between Cooney and McGrath's box kicking is marked.

bilston

Ireland could easily end up with 60 here. Not sure their performance deserves it, but that's how it goes sometimes

Unpopular opinion but I’d say ya

Conan looks to have done a number on his shoulder. Hope it's just a stinger.

Been a little disappointing today for me.

I thought he went ok, he was unlucky with the YC as he took one for the team.

Beirne hasn't really grabbed his opportunity today though

USA looking ragged now. Especially with our subs on.

Faugheen

Quinn Roux has 6 tries in 13 games for Ireland.

I know most are probably against tier 2 sides but that’s a good return.

He sucks air in between his teeth between sentences.
Once it was pointed out to me it's hard to not hear it forevermore.

Well to be fair Larmour tore Italy apart from the wing, not full back. And he struggled a bit at full back against Argentina. At the moment he is a better winger, but Ireland need a full back to come through more than a winger at the moment

vienne86

Seems Nordi is playing 8.

bilston

Definite knock on by the American

BODesque from Ringrose

Stockdaleesque from Conway

Nice try

vienne86

Unselfish by Conway to give it to McGrath. He probably could've gone himself, but made the right decision. Nice try. Floodgates could open here.

Heymans

Conway or Ruddock on man of the match

its_phil

Pathetic hands from Healy there

vienne86

Ah hell......but fair enough call.

Dave_The_Sheep

Superb from Conway and fair play to him for passing it, when on for a hat trick. Thought one of the passes might have been forward, but given it game from a deliberate knock on not given, I'll take it.

Mookie Blaylock

Kick the conversion immediately...

Yeah disappointing moment

My 29 prediction was achieved too early I fear.

Faugheen

I know it’s been disallowed but great support running from McGrath again.

Boscoirl

That’s why Killer didn’t pass earlier

fitz

Forward alright, but why not also interject on the deliberate knock on?

I don’t think carbery even realised there was a doubt.

bilston

Silly penalty to concede

Ringrose by miles!

I think the ref was holding him back from taking it while the TMO "informally" looked at it.

mangobob

Brain dead from Arnold.

Yep he has been superb. Looks a different class out there.

Ha...I'd say...wonderful moment there

fitz

Ringrose is just incredible

PhlegmyMoses

Ringrose is disgustingly good at rugby

Wegians89

Ringrose the best 13 in Europe possibly the world atm

mangobob

Magic. Absolute quality from Ringrose. Best player on the park and its not even close.

Faugheen

Some people here would still have you believe that his jersey still isn’t nailed on. Incredible player.

Clegg

Healy's pass.to Conway looked forward. Will take it though!

There has been some good individual performances. Conway and Ringrose were good, as was Addison while he was on. Ruddock is probably the pick of the forwards.

On the other hamd there are some lads who just didn't take the opportunity to impress. McCloskey isn't anywhere near close to threatening the other 12's. Henderson and Beirne haven't done enough to threaten Toners spot either. Same with Conan and Stander's place.

vienne86

OMG! KO by Ringrose!

vienne86

Conway MOTM - who chose him?

bilston

Conway gets it. I suppose if you score a hat trick you are likely to get it. But Ringrose has comfortably been the best player out there

bilston

Well he scored a hat trick...but yeah it should have been Ringrose

Clegg

Fella scoring the hattrick is always going to get motm.

But the actual best player on the pitch was Ringrose.

Meh

I feel bad about that assessment, two squads putting in a shift, but a very forgettable game

vienne86

Ah delighted for Ryan - he's been good.

fitz

I love when the fatties score tries.

Mookie Blaylock

Ryan...you giant amongst men!!
