[QUOTE="shtove, post: 750922, member: 13771"] :o Lesson learned. Rom did a good job in defence, especially at the maul. Bit disappointing from Ireland. Some nice tries out wide, but little penetration in midfield and in the first half 3 lineout mauls in a row were messed up. And the range of offence was limited. Under-commitment at the ruck was fixed in second half. Maybe the squad isn't all in step - today should have been a mini-me of the full strength team, with precision in the maul and a decent understanding between the inside backs. Again, Payne is a worry - although he had some good turnover in second half. Zebo's little dink was almost a carbon copy of a try he scored in the Heineken a few years ago, so huge attacking quality in the back three for the rest of the tournament. Overall, Ireland got what they needed, fixed a couple of misfiring cylinders, but failed to strike the fear of god. [/QUOTE]
