[QUOTE="Leinster Fan, post: 959906, member: 76349"] Hard not be happy with that for Ireland. Scotland were utter rubbish but you can only beat what's in front of you and we did in about as satisfying a way as you could imagine. Huge credit to Conway and Larmour for coming in and doing a great job. Both should be very happy with their performances. Farrell is the clear fourth favourite in the centre but did a lot to put himself into the mix today off the bench. Ringrose didn't do anything amazing but kept the Scottish centres very quiet, good game from him. It goes without saying but our props are class and deserve even more appreciation than they get (which is a lot). Best went the full 80 and did well the whole time, deserves a lot of credit. Wouldn't trade Ryan and Henderson for any other second row pairing in the tournament except maybe a fully fit Retallick and Whitelock (the English are stacked there as well tbf). Back row functioned well throughout, both before and after Conan came on. CJ was very good again, I think there's a strong argument he should stay at 6. Sexton could do with another game but the main takeaway is that Conor Murray is back. The imposter scuttling around in the Six Nations is gone and has been replaced by our best ever 9. He had an easier job than most behind an utterly dominant pack but for my money it was easily the best performance from any scrumhalf so far, he put in an absolute kicking masterclass. Hope Aki and POM are okay but other than that the game really couldn't have gone much better from an Ireland perspective. [/QUOTE]
