I only saw the second half - herewith my thoughts on what I did see… we did well to come back twice from 7 down and a draw was a fair result. With our pack...
I'm not convinced that Earls is an inside centre and BOD should not be moved in. I thought Paddy W had a good game and even Hooky thought so too. If someone...

We had the better of the first half but the Aussies played very well for much of the second half. Our backrow got eaten alive at the breakdown. A very good...
I too thought ROG answered his critics(of which he has quite a few in the North!) and played his best game in a wee while. The only person I heard detract from...

Erm...you'll find it's now known as an Apatosaurus! :) Thought Ireland were guilty of trying too hard in the first half and not doing the basics right. Rog...

I think some of the decision making was very questionable yesterday, especially at penalty time. That crossfield kick was silly. I'm all for ambitious play,...
Frank Being in that corner, I had a perfect view of the kick and it was 90% guaranteed to be a try if Bowe had caught it but with two defenders, he hadn't a...
Am i the only one who thinks Ireland should have well and truly been stuffed yesterday? Our scrum for the most part was appalling, we were counter rucked far...
Rocky, using George Hook to back up your points is the last refuge of the scoundrel !!! Paddy Wallace did play well though. Must be hard for the backs to do...
I'm not sure about Paddy Wallace. He certainly added quick hands but he didn't offer much of a running threat until late in the game and his decision making...
I was surprised in the first half that we seemed to want to run everything at the Wallabies. Very often we were starting these runs from inside our own 22, we...

No point in rushing him back either. It's a big blow to our chances for next year but it gives Earls a chance to show what he can do (and play in one position...
