The quarter final thread

[Brenny]

A hiding may be a blessing in disguise. Serious changes in approach are required throughout Irish rugby.

We're kinda limited by who we play in the 6nations where everything is intense bashing within 15 metres right or left of the ruck followed by kicking. We rarely encounter anything like 2015 Argentina or 2019 Japan.

[In Joe we trust]

When in doubt, blame Stockdale

Came in offside to tackle smith and the let him through to score

To think Conway is sitting in the stand watching this ****e

If only Toner was on the pitch!

Joe not selecting form is the biggest mistake.

That’s up to us to change, Andy Farrell not the guy to do it either

I thought we did well to get nil in that half.

[The Last Stand]

I can’t even remember the first try, what was it?

2nd try was caused by a couple of things previous to the ruck

Said it was a side clearance. My reaction in real time was that there was a penalty.

Paulie has said that first try was a clear ref error + BOD has blamed stockdale for second try.

Blatant clear out from the side to create space for first try

The crossing of the desert has been completed

The unblinking eye is now almost complete

You all know what's coming next

[TomsOnTheRoof]

The danger is that Farrell retains Joe's approach. If so then it's more of the same ****e.

Blackrock U7s have a great off-loading game based on pace and vision..... :)

The Leinster media is already preparing the ground to attack Farrell.

Is anyone really surprised by this?
England showed in the 6N that aggressive line speed against us in defence results in us caving in, skillsets too crap to pass/offload under pressure.
We revert to static one off carrys and eventually cough up the ball.
NZ saw how the aggressive Farrell defence worked in the Lions tour and adapted their game to 2 10s on the field specifically to counter it.
Joe went 'la la la la la.... no problem here' and you see the results.
