Pretty happy with the refereeing team. Ive always thought Barnes was good ever since I saw him make his big debut reffing the final of the middlesex sevens many moons ago. Prone to making the odd howler, but who isnt? Hopefully him and his team can get it spot on today. The blue blood runs strong!! ...

The kids did great!

Great to see Ed Byrne captain. always gives everything to the cause whenever he puts on the jersey. This game is totally winnable

DDA gonna be out with injury

Really good performance, but we can definately be better. Jimmy O Brien needs to back himself a bit more, he should be running onto the ball at real pace like keenan and smashing over that line, his finishing needs to improve. McGrath really slowed things down I thought when he came on, got tangled ...

Citing comissioners should be taking a serious look at some of the incidents in this game, pretty sure I saw fingers in one of our guys eyes at one point. Pushing a players head into the turf after play should be and instant red and a citing imo, no place in it for the game. Roos reaction after that...

The Stormers seem like a decent team, but I'm not convinced by their attacking patterns. It seems more like brute force with some quick hands (which works a lot of the time against weaker teams). They have a very good defense which will be hard to break down, Ive a feeling that it will be very simil...

Didnt think McCarthy and Porter went too bad tbh. McCarthy hasnt had a lot of gametime at this level, he definately grew into the game

I dont think we can blame the ref too much for that loss. The Sharks did everything they could to hand it to us, but our forwards got greedy at the end, we could so easily have won. Ruddock TOB and Frawley were outstanding, but some bad perfomances aswell, one that got away, good thing for us we can...

Really looking forward to seeing how we go. Everything to gain, all the pressure is on the Sharks.

Connacht played really well and deserve huge credit for pushing such a high quality team so close. Keenan as ever a joy to watch, his vision for the game is second to none and I think hes getting better. Didnt like some of Sextons interactions with the ref and he needs to be careful. I think Osbourn...

Gutted to hear the news, Dan in his short time was without a doubt one of our best players ever we would not have won the 2018 grand slam or the series victory in Australia without him. Will be truly truly missed in blue and green. Thanks for all the great times.

Dont think anyone blamed Munsters loss on Carbery? People were just debating whether the coaches both in Ireland and Munster feel that 15 may be his better position.

Great win, very few bp wins to be had in Thomand. Was expecting them to give us trouble in the scrum, but we gave them the trouble, and our lineout was very smooth. Munsters lineout was a joke tbh, and surprised it wasnt talked about more in commentary, did they even compete on a single one? Jenkins...

Outstanding second half, but the first half set piece worries me a lot for when we meet bigger packs, McBride work to do, but he honestly cant take resposibility for flankers standing off scrums etc. Osbourne for me was MOTM, centers were brilliant. Dont believe McGrath has been hard done by with Ir...

Congrats to Josh on the nomination, shows the hard work he has put in over the last few months.

I thought our maul defense was decent, but our attacking maul got disrupted far too easily. Our back 3 played great, apart from Conways kick out on the full. I think England are patting themselves on the back an awful lot for what at the end of the day was a record point loss bonus point victory at ...

Raynal was clearly allowing wheeling to happen in some of those scrums, there were definately some we lost aswell, so a real work on area. Looked like there was very little power coming through on Furlongs side to me.

I think if we could get Marty in shape hes a very good option and has been playing very well. Spare a thought for Eddie Jones tho, assuming we do the job against Scotland at home, he has to play his absolute best in order to hand Ireland the trophy, hes stuck between a frog and a hard place some mig...

Thought Gibson-Park had a very good game, MOTM for me, either him or Doris. JVDF had some decent plays, but also got pushed off the ball a few times/turned over/knocked on. In fairness did take a nasty looking knock from a brave tackle. Carbery for me is no 10, and I worry greatly that at least one ...
