I think they need to look hard at what the centre partnership is bringing to the table. A possible option would be to move Bowe into 13, BOD at 12 and have Trimble and Earls on the wings. Not a great time to be messing with the backline like that, should be done immediately after the WC IMO.


Wouldnt mind seeing Earls at full back again. D'arcy could do with a good kick in the arse!

Every time I said how poor the team was looking after each of the four warm-up match losses, I heard various excuses.  Nobody ever wanted to own up to the fact that this just isn't a very good Ireland side.  Unless we pull a shocker against the Wallabies, I think that will have been confirmed.

Agree.... tactically terrible. Reddan and Murray were poor, as were both ROG and Sexton. The midfield is absolutely completely toothless.

There's nothing to be done for it now though so let's just hope that they can turn it around.

We were awful, poor tactically and made a hard working USA side look better than they are. God help us against the Aussies...

Not too convincing, Sexton had nightmare with the boot. Can only improve !! against Austrailia it's a must to improve.

hope they play well now. No stupid play would be nice. Just do simple things and move the ball. Should win 30+
