God Murray is slow.

Not sure he is that fast to be honest... I was even calling for Gibson-park at the end. Unbelievable scenes....

Very frustrating tonight. Aki lost the plot in the second half. What on Earth was that kick that led to the third try. No wonder he was given the hook. Why he is in that team over McCloskey beats me (or even Farrell for that matter). It was the final straw in any resistance. But in reality France ea...

To be fair, on balance, I thought it was worse . Sexton was genuinely unlucky with the bounce but a big, fast, strong lad like Stockdale should have absolutely owned that situation. Hmm or a really experienced international including being a B&I lion should have owned the situation.... maybe???

I never judge wings for the try they score Stockdale got hustled off the ball for one try and the defeat is down to him come off it . The players who have been out of form for 18 months are Sexton and Murray two kicks to touch don't get there and the English back line gets the freedom of the park. ...

Same simple recipe as last season. Starve Ireland of time and space to play. Back 5 totally outclassed and overpowered. Backline never had a chance to play any rugby. Agree with that snipe, it’s a tad unbelievable at this level we didn’t think they would do the same again. They have worked us out. ...

Excellent performance tonight. Now need consistency
Dan really showing where he could take us!
Heading in the right direction

Recovering from the emotion of all of that. Left with a feeling of pride in our team. Who would have thought after the state of disarray of last year we would be talking about what might/should have been in a European QF. So many great performances, defence was awesome. Jacob is pure class, every ti...

Scotland are very poor losers. Every decision given against them was booed. They even booed during the Irish kicks. Laidlaw looked like he was sucking a lemon as he walked off. Miserable little man. As long as I am watching rugby Scotland have been like this. It is the reason I always love to see t...

Statistically, Ireland's worst winger of the professional era, by a looonnng way. Jacob Stockdale 15 games, 12 trys (1.25) Craig Gilroy 10 games, 5 trys (2) John Kelly 17 games, 8 trys (2.13) Dennis Hickie 62 games, 29 trys (2.14) Tyrone Howe 14 games, 6 trys (2.33) Tommy Bowe 74 games, 30 trys (2....

Go easy there now Shan that’s unfair on your average fool. Fitzgerald’s comments take being a complete and utter idiot to a new level.
Seems he is about as good at rugby punditary as he was a player

There really was one born every minute

Stockdale for me. Marcel and Jordi amazing in the backrow. Rory also had a great game. Addison and Baloucoune also standouts but Stockcube is a match winner when he gets the ball. Raw talent

We are in the Holland And Barret stand. Hope a few more ulstermen in there too. Surely it can’t be as bad as Wasps last year

Signed. Almost 13k now

Nearly freezed ourselves to death at that soulless hell pit today. For what. We didn't even play any rugby. No possession. No territory. Completely done over at the breakdown (men against boys in that department). Mistakes, penalties again and again, ffs clueless in all aspects. Listened to their (W...

That was fecking disgusting from our 2 nines Rum, I'm calling a chube a chube here. Modern rugby is run from 9 and tonight we had 2 clueless idiots up against 2 non clueless Scaaaaletts Saw enough of weeD to know that he's "rugby" smarter that weeP. He brought rhythm to our play P cannot....
