Laidlaw has no running threat, we have no one who can break the gain line close to the ruck so Ireland can rush up at will. Laidlaw's box kick at the first try was diabolical. 

Gilchrist and McInally have been terrible. John Barclay looks extremely old and Duncan Taylor has played well in the tight but clearly has no running threat any more.

It never fails to amaze me how we almost always shit the bed against the Irish and Welsh. They had one huge piece of luck with the clearing kick that hit the post leading to their third try, but we have missed too many tackles, and wasted possession by forcing it too soon or leaving a player isolated.

Can only hope we have a Twickenham second half performance in us.

Games not done yet, but we need something special in the second half. Can't see Ireland imploding like England, so we need to keep the ball ourselves, not try and force things, not kick it away so much and build some pressure. We need to get more bodies to the break down as well.
