I know they're on an 11-game winning run at the moment.
They're playing very good rugby.
The current laws really suit them.
But who's to say Ireland couldn't go to Twickenham and turn them over?
That's not a good combination.
Yeah, just like on Ringrose, I mean, he's turned into this sort of defensive outside centre and it doesn't always go well like it didn't tonight.
But he made a break in the second half and we both kind of turned and were like, God, I haven't seen Gary Ringrose do that.
And you need to have more from your centres.
I know I mentioned Stuart McCloskey and I think he was excellent, but imagine having a 13 who's willing to go on the outside of a man.
I'm not saying...
Jude Possilway, there's a lot of ground to make up.
Dan Kelly, the same.
I'm not saying there's necessarily a ready-made replacement, but Andy Farrell has to get more out of Gary Ringrose in attack.
It was so jarring to see him make that break.
It was a reminder.
He still has it in his game.
I know a lot of it is because of, sorry, I'll let you jump in then, but he is Leinster's defensive leader because he's the shooter in Jack Neenarber's blitz defense, but he has to bring more as an attacking threat.
He has to.
It's not his forte, though.
a completely legitimate concern I suppose like just to go back to the point I was making in regard to that is that when France went 29-0 up I genuinely thought that Ireland could concede 50 or 60 and they didn't so I guess that's where my positivity or if that's where you want to call it comes from which is like South Africa like you know South Africa I know they went scrum after scrum after scrum but like Farrell the reason Farrell was proud of that performance was because Ireland hung in that game
