But I think the fact that France and the amount of tries that they could have scored, and sure enough, they scored five.

But what he's bringing on the positive side of the game...

I don't think it's big enough to sacrifice the defensive issues that he has.

I think it has to, yeah.

Because you look down through the years at the best Ireland hens, Ronan O'Gara, Johnny Sexton, the confidence that they command.

And I would imagine that players around him feel 10 foot tall when they're on their game.

Now, it's not all on Sam Prendergast, but he needs to nail his part of the game, particularly in defence.

And he's not doing that.

He tried and he did make a couple of good tackles.

But I think of the Jalibert try off the scrum.

He's just not good enough.

Yeah, like they were dominated in collisions.

They were dominated on the ground at the breakdown and they were dominated in the air.

Yeah, and I thought Andy Farrell hit the nail on the head when he said, you make your own luck.

And I think we all know what he means in terms of, you know,

that's coming into the intense finish yeah exactly and Jolly Bear's little dink that he put over the top of the ball does bounce favourably the little volley that Thomas Ramos did like I mean what a player what a player he is in a team full of superstars he's just he's just amazing he doesn't always get the headlines but he's such a brilliant player but Andy Farrell is right like you do create your own luck and

like Ireland seemed to they seemed to like I haven't seen them kick like contestables as much as this it was clearly a defined game plan and you would have thought with the the back three in particular that they picked um that they would have had the height and they would have had the aerial prowess I thought Tommy O'Brien had a really difficult night um as well he's been brilliant for Leinster over the last couple of years and he's earned this opportunity on the right wing but he'd a really tough night I thought Jamie Osborne had a couple of

Good moments, brilliant 50-22.

But again, we didn't see it in the air.

Jacob Stockdale, we were just down chatting to him in the mix zone.
