Faz is big on "the group"; Ross is not in the group. He called out Casey, and Mccarthy in the answer about Crowley. Had to be prompted to talk about Ross.

He didn't try his rather large arse to even look like he was trying to shift.LeRouxIsPHat wrote: ↑November 19th, 2022, 10:07 pmThought he was unlucky tbh, got out of the way and the ball was available but he was stuck on his back then and couldn’t move.

26 tackles for Josh, 23 for Doris. Some effort from those two!

Penalty wasn't against him as I recall - it was against Bealham, no?

Pen in 77th min was against McCarthy.
He tackled Samu, swung himself around into the ruck and then got stuck on top of the ball making it unplayable and slow.
It's as clear a 'not rolling' pen as you'll see, particularly at that stage of a game.
Something he needs to get out of his game as it didn't need to happen there at all and could've cost Ireland.
Re: Ireland Autumn Internationals 2022
Delighted for Ross. He’s so good at those pressure kicks
Overall, it looks like the rest of the world has figured out how to stop the gameplan that beat NZ. We only really looked good in flashes this month. I think if we don’t try something different next spring we’ll get stuffed by France at the very least

Re: Ireland Autumn Internationals 2022
In fairness we gave away loads of penalties throughout the game so it’d be harsh to single out anyone anyway, particularly Big Joe when the ball was availableDave Cahill wrote: ↑November 19th, 2022, 10:31 pm Penalty wasn't against him as I recall - it was against Bealham, no?

I just don’t think we played enough of our game though. When we actually let Crowley play his game we looked really good I thought.Twist wrote: ↑November 19th, 2022, 10:37 pm Delighted for Ross. He’s so good at those pressure kicks

It's great to win when everyone else has "figured us out"...
Great Nov series.. perfect for Ireland right now

Re: Ireland Autumn Internationals 2022
Yeah it is great to win. I grew up in the 80s & 90s when results like the ones we’re getting now were unthinkable. I don’t take it for granted.
I’m just saying we looked a lot less dangerous this month than we have since beating England back in March of last year

Ruddock's tackle stats consistently too low for me to be taken seriously as a Six Nations blindside..... Ruddock's defensive stats don't stack up. - All Blacks Nil, Jan 15th, 2014
England A 8 - 14 Ireland A, 25th Jan 2014

Re: Ireland Autumn Internationals 2022
Our defence was superb. Our attack however, was slow, ponderous and very lateral. Australia really slowed down our ball at the breakdown aided by the ref who let them in from the side all game. Not sure quite how we won that game.
The match was interminable. At 9.20pm the match clock showed 46 mins played. At 9.30pm we had crawled to 52 mins played!

Re: Ireland Autumn Internationals 2022
Tough, brutal match with officials who wanted to be noticed. Glad we won without a performance because it will limit the hype.
