Agree with the comment above. I think some of these scores are way too high. This is an Ireland team that got smashed by over 20 points in a quarter-final, they only looked like they were in any way in control of the game for about ten minutes in the second half. Weak performance all round and so you simply can’t give 4 7+ scores and 2 8s. With a few minor exceptions they were all very much sub-par. (I think).

I like this Irish team and there are some fantastic players. But they were taken apart- scores much too high!

I feel like Rob Kearney deliberately targets the contact far too much when he could be looking for an off load, or drawing the man to make space. He’s an incredibly physical player and I do rate him, but I think he’d work better if he tried to bring other people into the line with him rather than just crashing in every single time.
