…Think a few alledged lions need some very big games rest of 6n. Warburton and obrien were pretty poor, gray not great either.
Couldn’t disagree more about Sean O’Brien.
Thought he had one of his better games for Ireland, and was by far the top 7 of the weekend, really put a shift in especially when they were playing with 14 men. Was everywhere, and did a real seven’s job. I’ve checked the stats this morning just to make sure I wasn’t watching it too one-eyed at the time, it’s easy to get caught up in the excitement.
12 carries and 24 tackles.
That’s double the tackle count of the best of any other team’s players.
Probably one of the main reasons Ireland held out in that second half.
Thought Peter O’Mahoney was excellent too, till he got undeservedly pulled . But Chris Henry did a fine job when he replaced him. Was interesting to see it was him that was roaring a “captain’s” speech at his forwards when they were all huddled together during breaks in play.
Think Declan Kidney’s got a big decision to make with his back row for next week, that could be made slightly easier by holding his hands up and giving BOD his rightful captaincy back.
For Wales, Faletau didn’t deserve to be on a losing side.
