The Official Irish Rugby Thread

[Barry K O Bama]

Picking Sam almost cost us the game. Faz has lost the plot - OK to try him against a pub team like FiJi but crazy to start him v an inform side like the Wallabies.

Sam was one dimensional - delay the pass and release to ghoy on the shoulder. Wallabies figured this out quickly and minced us.

Jack varied it and often missed the guy flat to get the back line moving - he made a statement.

Faz is a busted flush - time to move on. Hopefully Easterby can crack it and Faz can go home after the Lions tour

A tad fortunate Osborne and Keenan are injured as Leo would have had to drop some Irish lads for Jordie.

What is the point in giving aki another year. he will turn 36 before the end of that 1 year extension and knowing our form we will give him another 1 year deal and bring a 37 year old centre to Australia!!
