I thought Geordie Barrett showed flashes of his brilliance.
Like, weirdly enough, Will Jordan was actually, like, relatively quiet, but he still got the handiest try that he'll ever score in his record breaker.
That was just such a killer moment for Ireland.
they're sort of adamant that the occasion didn't get the better of them.
I wonder, and it would be a concern, you think of the Champions Cup final, semi-final last year, that lots of these Leinster players have lost.
You've obviously outlined the big games that Ireland have lost against the likes of South Africa and France in recent years.
And to me, it is a concern as we obviously put the bow in this season and heading into a World Cup year next season, because this felt like such a...
It felt like a World Cup knockout game, for want of better terms.
I know it was a free shot, but everything about it just felt like high stakes, high pressure.
And I think, Will, and we said this in our preview, that if Ireland had lost and given a good account of themselves, there would have been no shame in that.
But to have just been so far off the standards that they set for themselves, and like we said, realistically...
never really being in the contest I think that will rankle with them for for quite a while obviously it's the end of the season now they're going to have a long time to stew over it before they get a chance to put it right in November but that inability to deliver your best performance when it matters most look it's an it's an age-old Irish thing isn't it but we're seeing it in the
in the clubs as well like even look at Ulster's performance in the Challenge Cup final like it is a problem for Irish teams to deliver when the pressure is really on and the pressure was on to a certain extent tonight obviously it wasn't a World Cup game in terms of being knocked out but if Ireland want to do something at the World Cup in Australia next year then delivering your best performances in these types of occasions is absolutely imperative or we're heading down the same old road again
Yeah, and I would agree.
I would agree with that, Will.
But again, like think back to, let's just take the big three, which are obviously the three defeats that Ireland have had this year.
So South Africa, France in the Six Nations, South Africa in November and New Zealand tonight.
Like,
Ireland just did not play well, though, in any of those games.
Like, you know, we've seen... Think back to the World Cup quarterfinal in Paris in 2023.
