[2020 Six Nations] Ireland vs Italy (24/10/20)

Ruck was formed but 21 green was the only player in the ruck, 12 blue tried to counter ruck and got told no? Why? Wasnt using his hands? A rule im missing?
 
Impressed Ross Byrne for having the presence of mind to drop kick that.
 
Happy enough with that. No hope of winning on points difference but decent performance. Margins were close, intercept, disallowed try go differently maybe things work better. Played pretty well, wouldn't make many changes.
 
Good to get some lads in and the systems up and running but big improvement needed for Paris.
 
The only thing is Points difference hard to call as every team is unknoqn in this environment like its not like Ireland facing hostile crowd next week

Parisian crowds are more passive aggressive than hostile
 
Good bit was Farrell has awful selection headaches next week in the right way. Backrow today has to be same. Still unsure about Stockdale at 15.

Wouldn't be opposed to swapping Stockdale and Keenan. Hard to shake the feeling that Stockdale would struggle with the inevitable French line breaks. Equally a lot of responsibility to throw on Keenan at the same time.
