Was just saying the same thing.

He looks like a rugby league convert trying to figure the game out on the fly at times.
I mean, bless his enthusiasm and all that and he's going to be a good 'un, but he's got to tighten up on that

Has Earls got the ball other than when Casey gave him a hospital pass on the touchline?

What's the point in bringing Conan on at the death?

Larmour has been slipping all over the place tonight, so many handling errors too

You joke but I actually really admire the way he keeps going, hasn’t gone into his shell. Prendergast went the opposite way after his ticking off from Barnes, seemed to be spooked and was far too hesitant.

Coombes had been down a couple of times with an injury.

Hard to see many positives there. Coombes looked good with ball in hand. Aki looked class. Frawley didn't look too bad at 10..................... that's all I got. Anyone got anything else?

Think Coombes was a possible hia and they took him off in case

Looked to me like he was carrying his shoulder from that tackle early on. Had an okay game overall though I thought.

Embarrassing. Nobody implodes like Ireland. It was men against boys for a lot of that game but the sheer brainlessness of it is what killed me. We're meant to be smarter than that.

yeah but playing behind that pack with shite ball all day, that's not a bad performance for an international start at 10. Same for Casey. I for the life of me cant see why there is hype around him at all, but I wouldn't judge him when playing behind that pack.

Appalling.

Gave the Maori too much respect and played scared the entire game. Didn't trust one single aspect of our processes to function without bailing on it.

I thought we would have turned the page from Leinster and Ulster's no-shows but it seems like these players don't think they belong in the rarified airs of top rugby.

Attitude change needed fast.

He hasn't played ten in forever and the pack were beaten up so badly it's hard to judge if he's any good there but yes not a good performance.
