He&#039;s often the one blamed for your losses and it is true that he didn&#039;t play well yesterday but it&#039;s very difficult when you are on the back foot, and that was due to our forward domination. This btw is what allowed Trinh Duc to play his best international match. So I&#039;m not sure what you should do with ROG, what is for certain is that, when he is having an off day he should be replaced much much sooner than he was yesterday. Sexton as an impact sub can really be wonderful and change radically the face of the Irish team. Or maybe just make Sexton start.I think you need to beef up your pack a bit, find better scrummagers and know how to use your bench more efficiently. And you need to realize that such an impressive record had to come to an end but it does not mean much apart from the fact that on THAT day we were better prepared.</blockquote>
