[QUOTE="OnTheBall, post: 428600, member: 40408"] Poor match. Good to see Kearney and Flannery back. The wings were quite good, hopefully Fitzgerald is on the up again, seemed to be one of the few to add a bit of spark when he got the ball. We did better up front than I thought we would, but seemed to go backwards an awful lot when the forwards took the ball on. Needed a Wallace or SOB to provide a bit of go forward. Scrum was poor. Line out could have been worse and got a few steals. The backs were pretty disappointing in how they went about things- kicking the ball away most of the time instead of having a go. O'Leary wasn't as bad as he can be but wasn't great either. He made a few decent kicks and got a turnover at one point I think, but once again his speed from the breakdown was poor. On the plus side, the defense was pretty good and we disrupted a lot of Scottish ball. At the end of the day, it was pretty much our second string against a near first choice Scotland team and we could have won, though Scotland deserved the win. Whatever about us, I don't think this game says much for Scotland. A lot of teams would have put that Irish team away comfortably today, with that amount of ball and territory. [/QUOTE]
