[QUOTE="Bruce_ma gooshvili, post: 1075639, member: 74121"] Everyone saying Ireland should take the lineout as if it is obvious. My interpretation is: - It was a sitter of a 3 points with 9 minutes plus stoppage left and Ireland with a bit of ascendancy. - the 4 try BP probably isn't crucial (although getting 1x BP is) - a maul try, almost by definition; brings a trickier conversion (in the 55-75% range probably). - a try with no conversion isn't all that more valuable than the 3 points - we had seen France steal a critical attacking lineout earlier. - with a draw I'd have kept Ireland as my tournament favourites. I completely sympathise with the opposing view but it's not like Ireland had a brain fart. [/QUOTE]
