[How bad boy]

This fella is an absolute joke shop of a player, has been at fault for 3 of Irelands tries, Australia are fucked

He had a 57% tackle success rate, that's clearly top tier international class.

On a positive note, sounds like a decent performance and a guaranteed top tier seeding on the world cup

Lads ... lads... Crowley did everything Sam P did but he also made his tackles. Even had a fancy flick at the end there and all.

I was going to comment that Conan and Baird were anonymous except that Baird has become an excellent lineout option. Then hw scored. Still think he was quiet and probably not the 6 that's needed long term.

Sam did enough offensively for the bandwagon to be waxing lyrical and ignoring the Aussies walking through him for first try.. Farrell will again give Sam the 10 jersey if there is any chink of light to vindicate picking him.Hes a great talent but teams like France and England will have one gameplan…Target Sam…

Easy to look good against Australia who are truely awful side…

Thankfully it would be nonsensical to start him against him against SA but watch the narrative push on now over the games between now and early February

Big shout out to Scotland for the early Xmas present. They're the gift that keeps on giving

That's exactly the plan for sure, put Crowley out against SA and then use the upcoming Leinster matches to push that narrative again. That said, there's blood in the water now, and he'll be targeted in the 6N.

"Credit to Argentina, they put us under pressure and deserved to win in that final quarter.

"What the team showed and how they played, we were 21-0 up against one of the top teams in the world.

"It shows what they are capable of, but the defeat is obviously what we want to look at and how we can get better.

"But it's within these players' hands.

"We have got to pick ourselves up and make sure we give these supporters a good performance against Tonga next week."

Another leak.

Prendegast starting against the Boks.

Who the fuck is leaking this stuff, again? I hope it's someone who is doing it as a two fingers up to Faz for this ridiculous decision.

Sambo could be off after a few minutes if the Safas get to him.

Let's see. The 42 also has him starting. Hard to know what Farrell's thought process is at the moment. Must be headwrecking for the two lads.

Lol. He'll outpace sextons accumalted concussion count in 10 mins against the boks
