[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 990634, member: 73144"] Ire wasn’t a dominant win. We were well ahead at half time against a side on the wane whose half backs hadn’t played that badly since they were u12s, with a ball definitely bouncing in our favour. We lost the second half. We were at home. According to ESPN... We ran fewer metres - 206 v 235. We had less possession - 39% v 61% We had less territory - 41% v 59% We made, and missed, more tackles - 180/197 v 106/116. We conceded more penalties - 13 v 9 Of course stats lie. Ire was our best performance of the 6N so far, but in no way was it much above adequate. A decent first half on the scoreboard but not much more than that. Still look very clunky. And Ire will still be kicking themselves that they didn’t properly test our back 3. [/QUOTE]
