Low key dude, you are. How else would you know who Shane Jennings is?
Was Polite particularly one sided? He didn't let POM away with his hackling by landing his hands on the deck beyond the ball and then going for it again, suggests he'd done his honework. He had a few howlers, what sticks out to me is missing Maitland dropping it into touch, followed by missing a crooked lineout, followed by missing a forward pass which granted Scotland 30m+ and possession, to do nothing with mind.
Ireland reverted back to what they did a couple years ago which was choking the life out of teams and Scotland weren't good enough to overcome that like them and Wales did two years ago. Does that mean Ireland won because Scotland played badly? Like Ireland last week, not really, it was helped through moments of bad execution and they definitely weren't at the top of their game, but mostly it was due to being under sustained pressure and being unable to find a spark to get them out of the hole.
It appears that Ireland are in a bit of a lull, injury is playing it's part, but it's mostly down to a few important guys not being quite at their dominant best, if Furlong, Healy, Stander, Murray and Sexton had played to their ability the last two weeks we might have 2 wins and a bonus point but it's nothing to worry about. There's a science to peaking so hopefully we're on track to do so in October!
