[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 1179720, member: 73144"] Exactly. You had a bad day at the office and still could / should have won. Some players will learn a bit that will benefit you in the long run but no need to overthink it or knee jerk. Maybe your self inflicted wound was the 6:2 bench with Ringrose not involved. Other than that, stuff happens. Maybe your other issue is Father Time. Not really thought about it before, but 30’s well in the rearview mirror for Healy, POM, Murray and Aki. Bealham, JGP, Henderson and Beirne are 32, Conan and Lowe are 31 as is Furlong whose very best looks to be behind him. VdF’s 30. Of the rest of Saturday’s squad I think only Baird, Crowley and McCarthy are under 25. Not saying it’s a huge problem and you have plenty of talent coming through in many positions but some careful management will be needed. [/QUOTE]
