There will be those who argue he was better coming in later but Iâd disagree.
When the ship was rolling early doors he was excellent
Line out didnât go well at the start but then we would have been nowhere if he hadnât stepped inside pre Akiâs try.
Shit throws for the lineouts and missed a tackle for the abdolute dogshit try in the second half.
An inch of a ball hop from redemption the poor cunt
I wouldnât hold him responsible for the lineout.
It was the same Kellerher. Itâs the lads lifting that are off
Hansen was very good. Ringrose was very quiet. Lowe kept trying the same move and either slipped or lost momentum every time. Aki put in a great shift. Keenan wasnât lording ball like in previous games. Sexton was very poor. Gibson Park did fine. Van Der Flierâs form has fallen off a cliff.
Sorry re Mack, not disputing what he put on the line, imo in his position you need that break sprint which obviously was handicapping with bandage this evening .
Players either definitely gone or likely gone/past their best in 2027:
Sexton
Aki
Ringrose
Henshaw
Lowe
Murray
Gibson Park
OâMahony
Van Der Flier
Henderson
Beirne
Furlong
Church
Earls
Conan
Kilcoyne
Bealham
We wonât be reaching a semi-final in 2027 either.
Itâs going to be a tremendous four years following Ireland.
Next World Cup is America too which Is a dream for me.
Ringrose was very good.
It wasnât the ideal game for JDF.
Next is Australia.
Iâm not sure he did.
Either way it just seems odd that your first reaction is to go looking for âexcusesâ to somehow take joy in them 
Ireland have rakes of players coming through at underage.

Bar the savage quick pass he was quiet I thought. Didnât help Johnny kept tossing him slow ball.
Will be a great one to go to.
He carried and hit 10m a pop, it wasnât clear on camera but I thought he worked very hard
Some really smart play at times.
Iâd need to watch through their tries again though and perhaps that would change my mind!
The biggest error was not making it 3 all.
Itâs cup rugby mentality.
New Zealand and South Africa are always at it.
How many times have New Zealand gone 13 nil up and lost?
The last time I remember was 07 v France.
