Really sub par performance. Conditions not helping but we're making so many errors.

Doris, McCarthy, JOB all with handling errors and we're getting turned over far too often.

Get Johnny on as Ross looks so laboured.

It feels like the result depends on how accurate or otherwise we are. Should’ve taken that three points just after the Bulls’ purple patch

Jesus from the stand it looks like murder on the pitch . Long time since I’ve seen a team rock us back repeatedly and then literally walk through us for their tries

Yep, last weekend's game did nothing to prepare us for this game

Yet again the chasm between Jonny and Ross is so clear. Ross isn't standing quite as deep as usual but he just offers no threat on the ball. His kick for first try was lovely though.

Lowe is a big miss too. His strength especially down the blind side would be so useful against this crowd.

Scrum going ok but lineout not rock solid. Ruddock and Moloney should come in soon. As should Sexton

Bulls are a good well coached team who are well capable of seeing this one out, especially if our sub front row run into trouble.

These are the sort of confrontations that we (Irish Rugby) were hoping the SA teams would bring and toughen us up for Europe and the next RWC.

Lineout is an absolute mess. I think we've fumbled almost all of them.

Pressure from a big dominant pack does that. It's our achilles heel

Our maul defence is shocking. We are on the verge of losing this

Ryan really struggles to assert himself in an arm wrestle.
Doris load of errors,Conan has been so quiet recently.
Our pack have really not shown up against bigger teams.
Van der Flier gives it everything as always.

Ryan and itoje are the same size yet look at the impact itoje has in the big games against the biggest packs. He is everywhere and had lots of big moments which lead to him being motm mostly. Ryan ain't cute enough and struggles to impose himself.
