The Official Irish Rugby Thread

[How bad boy]

Geordan Murphy, Tommy Bowe, Jonny Sexton?

Thought the same but they were much earlier, Bent played in 2022, only 5 mins but an excellent pub quiz question

The lineout is utterly shite.
Some of it is down to individual screwups, Kelleher's throwing was poor, Casey wasn't 5M, but others are technically won lineouts where the ball is coming back very messily. Been poor for a long time, how long can POC stay in role?

Absolutely woeful in the set pieces.

Not throwing the ball 5M in the lineout in an attack position is unforgivable.

Way too many just going through the motions

 

[nelly sham]

a bit symptomatic of the malaise in Irish rugby just now. Lads not bothering to try, why should they? They won't be near the starting XV next week.

How long has the lineout been a shambles now?

Henshaw rolling back the years......to 2025 when he was also shite.

Geordan Murphy, Tommy Bowe, Jonny Sexton?

Have any of those played abroad and for Ireland since Michael Bent?

Paul O’Connell needs to be moved on.

It’s clear that the lineout isn’t working, it hasn’t worked for years and it’s showing no signs of improvement.

Ligind or not, he should be shown the door. But they wont.
