[QUOTE="An Tarbh, post: 303404"] well there's plenty to take in, wasn't sure where to start until I saw that last post hoping that Duffy would start at full back against England, assuming Kearney is injured, well if Kidney does that I'll be calling for his head. Duffy isn't even good enough to play at Heineken Cup level let alone an international match. Thoughts on the match, Barnes you're an utter f***wit, he saw the Flannery incident and deemed that it was nothing, needed the intervention of the touch judge to reverse the penalty. Very lucky not to get a red card, should get 6 to 8 weeks though. Thankfully we have an adequate replacement in Best. The scrum wasn't as bad as I'd feared, lineout started brilliantly, handling was woeful, defensively we were very naive. O'Driscoll f***ed up on the first try, tried to drive the player back when he should have just made the hit, instead momentum was lost and the French gained ground and Servat then finished off. Anyone critcising Healy needs to realise we would have conceded a try so it had to be done. O'Connell was awful, even worse than his no show in 07 at Croker. Handling was abysmal and his ball carrying was far too laboured. Some positives though, backrow were fine and D'Arcy and Earls were the only backs who offered any threat. O'Leary though really needs a massive kick up the arse, too many Ellis like performances, nowhere near good enough at this level. France were superb though, very clinical and their half backs just had a dream game, not surprising considering what they did in Dunedin. My only worry for them now though is that they'll choke once again against England. [/QUOTE]
