what it is but it never sounds or looks that clean and look they got away with it tonight but leaving points behind you in international rugby particularly tight games is going to come back to bite you sooner or later and if Jack Crowley wants to be the Ireland number 10 going forward particularly with one eye on the next World Cup

He's got to nail his kicking because whatever about anything else in terms of the stuff you're talking about, that is the bread and butter.

And some of the kicks he missed tonight weren't exactly out in the touchdown either.

There were ones that he would have backed himself to make.

And I think he would hold himself to similar high standards as well.

Sorry, you know what?

It's actually a problem in Irish rugby.

It is.

It's not just... In terms of goal kicking.

Absolutely.

Nathan Doe came on and made his debut.

He's the best Irish qualified goal kicker because as I was saying to you, Sam Gilbert for Connacht is probably the best kicker in Irish rugby at the moment.

But it's a big issue.

Harry Byrne has had his issues.

Sam Prendergast off the tee has had his issues as well.

And they're working with Johnny Sexton now who was brought in to help improve kicking amongst many other things.

But...

Whatever they're doing is just not working, but they cannot afford to leave those kind of points behind them.

And he missed a couple against Toulon as well.

It's not like they're just drifting wide.
