Pitiful selection from Farrell.


Should never have got the job.

Good first half so far, hopefully Sexton off at half time

What's with the shite Jerseys

No South Africa game this year so Lifestyle and Canterbury will want it on tv ahead of Xmas.

Very good first half, the Japanese are no mugs. The quick rucks, moving the point of contact has meant they can’t set their backline (to shoot on the ball carrier) and can’t mess with the rucks. The ref has kept them honest a few times too.

Tommy Bowe wearing a poppy pitch side, hope the half time soup is warm.

Would have been nice to see the likes of O’Toole, Casey, Coombes, Hansen come in here. Instead it’s Healy, POM, Earls and Murray.

The Italians beat the spread but lose by almost 40.
Garbisi off injured, they’ll have a nervous wait on him.

All Blacks hookers score 4 between them, Rome hasn’t seen that kind of return since Berlusconi’s days.

Thankfully Earls, Murray and POM got on against Japan.

Every minute counts for these newbs.

Just got to watch the second half. So Ireland can play vaguely decent attacking rugby.

Lets see if it can be done under pressure. Japan were shit today, line-out a disaster zone, handling not up to normal standards. But Ireland did play well.

Erra stop putting out a full strength side against Japan is tragic.

Then springing dads army from the bench.

New Zealand are going to trash us. 🗑

Absolutely, but still, good performance. Would have been even worse had they played the same old shit
