We were psychologically beaten before the game began. Poorly prepped, tactically and mentally. We were technically and physically good enough to win that game, but showed up as shadows of the men that played the springboks. Weāre a group stage team, psychologically. Scared children, in the knockouts.

The most fateful Captainās run in Oirish rubby history
Probably. But we needed to have Crowley ready if someone else got injured.
When I saw this earlier today I thought the Ireland fans had jumped the shark
It was ominous
Blocking traffic and sitting on senior citizens car - not cool
I said when Farrell got the job in 2019 we didnāt have the players and I didnāt think heād be a good manger.
Tonight showed we just didnāt have somebody to create something from nothing.
Sexton was like an old man on a zimmer frame in the last twenty minutes.
Who coulda predicted that

Rory Best on ITV is saying they can be very proud. Iām not sure about that.
2nd best at the breakdown throughout.
Was a no win there for Sexton in the end, so many phases but still marching forward.
Was a kick to be tried, OāBrien has caught everything in his vicinity previously and was fresh
Thought the same but would ha e been some ballsy move to pull him. That last 10 we looked devoid of creativity and Crowley could have added that spark.
Ah well, weāll never know now
Roryās a hun prick
Same auld shite.
Hon the Pumas.

His primary role is passer and he was very slow with passing. He got his try as his opposite junber was in the bin. Did fuck all anytime smith was on the pitch
Jimmy O Brien did very well when he came on I thought

I donāt get why we didnāt get him a run before.
Think itās fairly minor when it comes down to it though.
It was always going to be a one score game.
