Last time POM should be seen in an Irish top.

Waste of a shirt usually.

Ireland can still win this, but they need to be smarter.

With all the recent news about early onset dementia among recently retired rugby players that was an unbelievably cheap shot by POM and in terms of group dynamic incredibly stupid. We are now quite unlikely to win this no matter what we do.

Lowe has been phenomenal so far.

He didn’t mean to do something that’s a red card offence, but he was out of control and did it. We look the considerably better side too and a fair bit to like.

Well that’s the cat among the pigeons. But the effort this requires, with no legs to come in to engine room for last 20, just can’t see it.

Maybe he could try not being a waste of a jersey for once. Doesn't look like we're missing him much

It was a red card all day long, so please don’t misrepresent my statement (not directed at you) but in real time it looked like the welsh player was turned to face him just prior to impact.
There was no intent in that clear out whatsoever.

Intent is irrelevant.

Up to the player coming in to measure his rucking action.

It's a stonewall red and a stupid/dirty thing to do, which POM has form for.

He has really let his side down.

Great shift from Robbie - and Porter carrying well.

I always wait eagerly for POM to prove me wrong but it just never happens. The luckiest player in the world to still get picked for his national side.

Take that point, and he had got low - so he’s probably thinking go in hard and low and it’s unlikely I’m illegal. But he’s made that decision a right distance out and you have to control your technique as the picture in front of you changes.

He has been charging into far too many rucks for a while now, he had been lucky. But he didn’t heed the warning when he was lucky.

Either he costs Ireland the game and possibly 6N and its bad for him. Or we win without him and we know we don’t need him. He gets a ban

A lot of people were worried about our BR.
Unfortunately they were right.

If Earls gets selected for Ireland again, it's impossible to be dropped.
