O’Mahony: “People don't understand some of the consequences"

He is considerate of his fellow players but clueless about how social media manifests itself. He needs to go out and chat with normal rugby supporters rather than gauge the mood by what he sees and hears online. The hyper phase of SM is here a decade now, people should really understand it better.

He also took some grudges a little personally. The RWC pool match against Scotland he used his 100th cap to get a big emotional rise against Scotland. No disrespect to Scotland but our full emotional resources better deployed in the QTR final for obvious reasons.

Where Irish rugby should actually look if they want to play blame game

It was an attempt at antagonism, show some honesty at least.

We will see a significantly improved defensive structure versus Italy which will not be as a result of Irish players just “grunting” harder. Farrell just on Irish radio. He played down the question around “application” saying that it may have been one of many things they were looking at. He got it badly wrong and has backtracked. Have a listen to Madigan on counter-rucking versus poach rucking. You’ll learn a thing or two about rugby from him.

Would have been fantastic to have seen PO’M on the panel for the match in Paris, I wonder why he wasn’t? Still, he clearly dodged a bullet there if the ashen look on BOD and Rory Best’s faces at full time were anything to go by!

And it will be interesting to hear his take on the ‘blame Nienaber’ school of thought the Irish pundits are promoting like there’s no tomorrow…

Townsend makes shock decision as Scotland make 4 changes for England

This could get ugly for Townsend, very ugly indeed. An underpowered pack with only a 5/3 bench likely to be overrun, and that’s before England roll their 6 replacements. Tom Jordan is a 10, who can cover 12 and do a job at 15 at club level. Hastings didn’t even get on the pitch last week and Kinghorn is a rolls Royce of a Swiss Army knife that can easily facilitate 6/2. This has all the hallmarks of a real statement victory for England…

But you have completely neglected to either substantiate or rectify your false statement about “the best fullback in the world”.

Your feeble attempts to call out other posters is laughable.

Huw Jones responds to concerns surrounding Scotland camp

He’s not from the 6N? Is that the same as “no Irish journalist would have called Mack Hansen the best fullback in the world?

Not exactly covering yourself in glory.

'Everyone is morphing into some sort of hybrid player': George Ford

Yeah some valid points about Lawrence being better at 6 rather than the more technical position at 8, and I agree Lawrence is better in space. Not so many backs can fill in in the back row but quite a few back row can fill in in the backs.

Pollock is good popping up in most places in the backline. I agree CCS would offer good speed and power in the centres and Ted Hill is another forward with out and out pace. Good points on Barbeary and all the positions he can play, he’s been in great form and has been unlucky to miss out.

I have substantiated my denial about the “intention” assertions and why the defensive statistics represent the systemic failure viewable for everyone. (Laughing emojis are generally accepted a spoor nails to hammer in arguments)

I loathed POM when he played against England - but I would have loved him on our team! He comes across now as intelligent and thoughtful, Ireland need to get him in the coaching set up in some capacity

Haskell is a blow hard.

The stats are stats and can have many causes. You attribute poor stats to intent without substantiation bar hearsay from Haskill.

Lazy comparison. South Africa was the 4th match in that series so more time (5 weeks) for the defense to gel and improve. It was also an outlier with ball in open play time at a close to record low, and attacks mainly in the tight which always garner higher tackle rates.

There was clear evidence of a systemic failure on Wednesday ably explained by an expert like Ian Madigan (if you don’t believe me) who dwarves you or I in rugby knowledge. Farrell was visibly angry. Blaming your own players is always a mistake.
