[QUOTE="Groundhog, post: 894636, member: 50079"] There is definitely room for improvement in terms of defensive communication. We played a ruthless game but let's not forget Scotland let our bad reads off the hook a few times. I think it's an area we'll continue to improve, but lack of width in defence continues to be the weakest part of our strong game. Would also like to see lineouts cleaned up in a big way and making the simple decisions in the opposition 22. Was slightly surprised Kearney got MOTM just because our pack were so good. He was at his best missed tackle as side though. Ryan, Leavy or POM would have been the pick of the bunch for me. I don't think Sexton was near his best, but still dominated most of the game and outplayed his opposite number by a mile. Bench added good impact (Cronin especially), but was worried to see McGrath outmuscled in a few scrums. He was the form loosehead in the world not long ago, and while the competition between him and Healy is great, I'd like to see him back at his best. Stockdale is an X Factor man. His intercept against Wales speaks for itself, but his one on Saturday happened against the run of play and seriously turned the tide of the game and ended Scotland's purple patch in a big way.
