    Congrats to our URC rivals on the historic win today. Was by far the better team on the day.

    @Derm-McCrum Luckily with my last name McCarthy and my grandad being from Munster I can claim this also 😂

    Lol mate my last name is McGowan, but I would never change anyway.
    Probably one of our worst performances for quite sometime.

    And makes next week exciting, and I going!!

    @Dan54 Nah of course not me either just trying to drown my sorrows with humour after watching that.

    I was going to go but no one else wanted too.

    Ireland should have scored a lot more points given how they dominated us.

    I don’t agree with that because Sexton is actually a handbrake in their attack. He is far too static and is often just shovelling the ball. When he does run he often runs at the defender and then tries to pass at the last second making it harder for his outside man.

    They defend well, play with a physical presence and that is why they are good close to their line. We defend okay as well and don’t make it that easy to score against. A little easier tonight than I would like, but there were some decent defensive efforts from some black jerseys tonight.

    Sowakula doesn't have the skill level for test rugby. A really dumb selection. Sotutu is a much better player.

    Like what the hell is Sotutu doing sitting in the stands? It's more than just a dumb selection, it's absolute utter arrogant incompetence.

    Ireland has done us a favour.
    Test rugby has always been about the team that makes the less mistakes wins. As a person who experienced test rugby in the 70s (can't remember much to be honest), the 80s, 90s up to now, the rugby that the ABs play now doesn't feel like test rugby. There is a lack of territorial awareness which means a lack of pragmatic kicking, they invite chaos near their line which more often than not has negative results, etc, etc.
    It is hard to explain but in the Foster era, they give it up too easily.

    We have no desire to play the territory game

    Because our 10 has a shit territory game.

    Imagine if we had a 15 with a giant kicking game, could be handy.

    I don't rule out the possibility NZR might ask Foster to go. That was a pretty shambolic performance. A repeat next week and/or in the RC and Robertson might sweep in.

    I really like the triple threat from our 12 though, at least they got that right.

    Triple digits for errors

    Foster sounds about as inspiring as a Funeral Director.
