[2021 Six Nations] Ireland vs France (14/02/21)

[Reiser99]

That game over?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Beauty of a try

 

[Not Eddie Jones]

How bad was that defence? For every claim from the commentators that it's 'clinical', mon dieu, That was shockingly bad from Ireland.

 

[munstermuffin]

Can't say I'm not a bit ****** off at us being blown up for offside after them being on the borderline all game.

Edit: Who the f*** cares actually, we're not good enough.

Yhat is how you have to play
Borderline all day. Test refs to limit

 

[Gavin]

Lowe really is awful in defense when it comes to big moments

 

[ThebigARena]

Beautiful by France

 

[Groundhog]

This games over. Lowe can't play international with that sort of defending. Needs to go back to Leinster and learn to defend.

 

[MikeTheNative]

Not great from Lowe there, probably should be doing a bit better than that.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Lowe rarely makes the right decision to rush and when he does he rarely hits his man. Dulin should be somewhere in the middle of last week right now.

 

[Bluemoon]

France just keep finding another gear and scoring when they are in key positions.

Ireland really struggling to find any rhythm in attack. Other than their kicking out of hand and standers carrying, they aren't really offering much.

This games over. Lowe can't play international with that sort of defending. Needs to go back to Leinster and learn to defend.

If he was a younger player you could cut him a bit of slack but he's 28!

 

[big ginger 8]

BEAST

 

[Not Eddie Jones]

Kelleher!

 

[TheSaffycen]

Big moment there, game back on

 

[Groundhog]

Kelleher is a beasht

 

[Reiser99]

Talk about a lucky bounce...

 

[big ginger 8]

Glad he's getting good gametime.

 

[bushytop]

Kelleher doing his best Cowan-Dickie circa 2019 impression.

 

[munstermuffin]

This games over. Lowe can't play international with that sort of defending. Needs to go back to Leinster and learn to defend.

To be fair ROG made good case before. With Leinster he doesn't defend much. And seriously lacts top pace but also mentality and style of defence is different and well 6Nations isn't a place to learn.
But his defence has been poor this championship

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Would still have Lowe on a net positive contribution. His kicking and running should have brought us points.
