Ireland Munster QPR - advanced qualified rugby coach(ERACA) for IQ rugby 🍀- passionate Irish exile - average golfer
Actually excited for the squad - some pace in transition and Lowe provides a good option at 1st receiver- big pack with multi ball carry - the bench looks full of power Main nervousness is around more changes in back 3 and how well we gel Thrilled for izzy and Rob B excited to see Edogbo in green

Now that is brilliant statistical analysis and encouraging and frustrating all at once

The game is moving on - kick compete and transition is more important than ever and we’ve lost our 2 best competers and defenders (Hansen and Keenan) and we have no stand out full time 15 to fill Keenan’s boots - I’d be working hard on finding a new back 3 we can invest and stick with

We need a transition threat and Rob B gives us that Lowe back in to give first receiver option to allow SP to play wider edogbo and Conan for extra tight ball carry timoney for dynamism
Bench Kelleher, Milne, Bealham, McCarthy, C prendergast, Gleeson, Casey, Crowley. - our main miss is Keenan 2/2

Like you very frustrated after that - I think what’s really interesting is that the 2 players we missed the most were Hansen and Keenan - both excellent kick competers and hansens 2nd play maker role heaped huge pressure on SP and he’s not there yet, I was also really surprised how quiet Sheehan was

Think I looked like that 20 mins in - god we looked so underpowered - as someone who was brought up watching us through the 80s and 90s I hope we can recover

I think that’s spot on - we’re coming to an end of our good cycle - I think the gap between France and England and the other 4 nations has never been greater- Farrell at a bit of a crossroads- we need power in this team and soon so edogbo and Gleason need some proper game time

A depressing glimpse of what’s to come under powered and some brain dead decisions under pressure - weirdly our set piece was ok - which possibly makes the performance even worse - our identity crisis at 10 is causing us so many problems

Interesting how we see things differently- EC for me is way to ponderous at breakdown (his primary job) has some good skill sets but is way off

We can see why we’re bringing in another SH - forgetting the history would push to get carberry back - both JCs can play 10 12 15 and would push each other
Looking forward to that back row in 2 years time

Interesting I can see exactly why we’ve gone for Ben Murphy - just need more pace on the ball

Said it before - decent 23 but go beyond it and we’re young and in trouble
Couglan is so slow he just invites pressure on the team
Under resourced and under powered
Not sure what Irish rugby expects sometimes

First and foremost look after yourself and your brother. I’d also like to add that the rugby unions and the six nations in particular once again miss an open goal. Jesus this is the content people want to watch - stop keeping people like squidge on the outside - he’ll help you grow the game 💚
