I can't understand why they had an interview with Frawley...

Maybe Ryle wanted to make a big entrance?

Should have been a try there.

This has happened before. Technical issues with a game in Italy meaning we miss the start.

The basketball pass from Ross Byrne was great. Looks like conditions are pretty tough and the pitch looks heavy so maybe Eir had the right idea by not showing the first 8 mins.

The officiating has been really poor so far.

Tomane has been very good. Two nice carries and two really good reads in defence that ended in a big hit and a turnover.

Ross Byrne has been poor so far. Two knock ons and kicking not great.

JGP poor too. Trying to force things.

Our maul causing them all sots of problems.

Adam Byrne did well there - making up for him being out of position :roll:

Jaysus that was weak enough.

Not many of our lads playing well. Tomane did well until that double handling error. Tracy & Fardy the pick of the forwards. A Byrne doing ok going forward but being put under pressure defensively.

Halfbacks not giving us much and being outplayed by Renton/Cana.

Backrow fairly non-existent too.

Wouldn't mind Doris on for Penny/Josh to give us a bit more oomph.

The pack need a bollocking at half time. They need to go out in the second half and just pick and go with tempo for a while. The back row in particular need to be far more involved close in.

Ross Byrne and JGP aren't on the same page at all, Ross has looked surprised to get the ball on a few occasions and the back line wasn't ready to go so he booted it aimlessly.

All very poor really.

That is f%~king atrocious from Deegan in the lineout.

Purely down to not concentrating.

Stuff like that must drive Leo mad.

Deegan slow to get back in the line and also missed a tackle later on, really disappointing performance from him.

Keenan saved us a couple of times there. Great take over his shoulder and read the pass really well on our 22.

Jaysus we're asleep. Not doing the basics well at all.

Lovely break from Keenan and then ball not protected.
