It's very difficult to get territory and possession if every penalty is against you, and the attacking team are allowed to get away with murder.

The referee isn't knocking on high balls or kicking the ball straight from touch. Hoggs break apart this first half has been atrocious we haven't been in it.

We've looked very good with the ball in hand so far, taking it to the gain-line aggressively and causing Ireland problems. Indiscipline at the breakdown ultimately costing us 12 points due to the correct sin bin of Barclay has cost us. Very impressive defence aside from the cock up between Hogg and Seymour. We only have ourselves to blame for being behind, but I'm happy to only be 8 points behind all things considered. Game on!

Well, pretty awful half but we are in touch.

If we can put some phases together in second half I don't rate the Irish defence.

Visser putting boot to ball with 3 minutes to go in then half there was the wrong call with a chance to build phases burnt worked out OK in then.

Cotter needs to get them to chill out and just play possession rugby. They know what the ref is like so play on it.
