NZ Tour 2022 - Māori June 29th, NZ July 2nd, NZ July 9th, Māori July 12th, NZ July 16th, KO 8.05am

Casey has had one of those rabbit in a headlight games that sometimes happens to a young SH. He'll learn from this.

That was some skill from Sullivan

Big concern with our strength in depth in the pack. Injuries to Herring and Henderson. Kelleher before leaving. Healy looking likes he’s out now. Loughman seemed lucky to be brought back on following his HIA.. looks like it’s going to be a very long tour

No one in munster had a good season. And definitely not Scannell.

But like others, there's every chance he'll play better in green than red. 5 years of JVG running things has made that be a thing imo.

Very disappointing all around from a number of facets.

As a team we were underwhelming. Very few people stepped up in a meaningful way.

We got very little rub of the green. A solitary steal in 80 minutes at the breakdown was a very harsh return. Needless injuries. Awful conditions too. So I'm a bit deflated.

While I have the utmost sympathy for Frawley as he was put in an untenable position. It will still go down as one of the worst performances at 10 in recent (and not so recent) memory for Ireland.

Penalties were just so needless. Bundee a big culprit. We needed more from him in that regard. McCarthy no saint either with 4 or so offside penalties from his over eagerness.

Backline really didn't offer much. Larmours influence was curtailed by the conditions underfoot. Fancy footwork a mere concept with the pitch like that.

Earls, JOB both disappointing. Hume coming off early and rarely getting the ball outside 12.

Casey had a reasonable performance. One of his better in green. I still think his kicking game isn't good enough and puts too much pressure on 10

Pack had more success. The injury is a **** one for Healy but at least we can put to bed any notion he's finished at this level. Different class out there tbh.

TOT was solid and industrious while he was on. As was Treadwell I thought.

McCarthy outside of his over eager penalties showed at least he's at this level. Some good impact moments.

I thought Prendergast was poor outside of the lineout to be honest. The impact we needed from him and have gotten used to watching Connacht was absent. Coombes gave some good front foot ball we sorely lacked.

Timony was very very good and easily Irelands best player. Yet still only a generous 7/10 that I could see.

So presumably we're gonna see Ed Byrne or Warwick called up for Healy. Form selection is the latter but Warwick has never been called up to a single squad where as Ed Byrne has been capped under Farrell.

I wonder who comes in for Hume. Farrell or Stu? Possibly Moore as an outside bet?

He looks a very good player in the making. The use of the term ‘generational’ is what I would say is overblown as you end up having people expect ‘generational’ performances each time he takes the pitch.

Think he went ok today (could have done with a few more players going ok in the pack!) but don’t think that was enough for him to make the 23 for Saturday or even if the game was hypothetically next Wednesday allowing for body recovery.

not next week, the week after
