[QUOTE="munstermuffin, post: 842997, member: 39240"] Maybe your right but Scotland aren't a top 6 team are they? Schmidt's 6N record away is 1/2 vs France and Scotland 0/2 vs England and Wales. As I said that's not great. There may be excuses but look I'm not hammering anyone they're just facts. On point 1 if you think he trusted Marmion fair enough. I don't and majority it's fair to say don't think he did. Murray could clearly not pass. I said it here. He was left on 18mins before the sub occured. It nearly cost us a try too. On 2. The fact is alot changed from Autumn. Not just Schmidt but Ireland have to pick on the now and be brave. Maybe you don't agree fair enough just think form of some guys has been awful and changes can be made mid tournament. 3. We are in agreement but maybe this shows the negative side of central contracts I was informed. 4. We will disagree here. As I said it depands on braveness. 5. The regime comment. I can name check 5 players from 3 provinces who have said they're a tad uncomfortable in camp Ireland because of consequences of mistakes. Is that setting high standards or putting pressure on? I don't know everyone will have opinion different. On the little errors. Your right it is marginal but it's a game of fine lines. And look we can say what ifs. As for lineout and scrum when POM came on we caused 2 spillages to them and messy ball. That's an improvement. For scrum Ryan and Scannell came on and produced monster scrum with Healy. That's what a bench should do As a whole I'd say coaches are responsible for: Tactically being poor Poor backline and attack Poor defensive tactics Poor selections and creating competition Poor use of bench I accept some may not agree but we can't keep offering excuses. We simply aren't as good as we think. Not as bad either but the proof of a teams standard is results. We beat a terrible SA team away. Huge credit for it as it was 1st time but equally lost next 2. If we were that good we should've pounded them. NZ did we catch them on hop. Who care we got result. But other than that what gives us any right to think we are better when there's simply no back up. Yhe AIs are hard to judge as SH teams come here and experimentand are looking at longer view [/QUOTE]
