Appearances
Like you look at the bench, Bondiaki was playing his 71st game for Ireland.
matched
He had 56 more international appearances than the other seven substitutes Ireland had out there combined.
matched
I think Tom Stewart was the most experienced sub aside from with five caps there.
matched
With 20 minutes to go, all but one of those players, Nathan Doak being the other one, was out on the pitch with a game that was down to, what, a one-score game?
matched
There were six points in it.
matched
And at that stage, sitting up in the stands, I think a lot of us were actually kind of going...
matched
Oh, geez, there's a lot of inexperience coming in here, getting significant minutes.
matched
This game is right in the mix.
matched
Eddie Jones, for example, had predicted Japan were going to dominate the Irish set piece in the second half.
matched
And it was starting to feel like things were getting on top of them.
matched
But in fairness to them, when it actually came down to it, the last 20 minutes ended up being a fairly uneventful quarter of the game.
matched
Ireland saw it relatively comfortable in the end.
matched
I think when you weigh up everything, the amount of changes he made, I think Andy Farrell ultimately was relatively pleased with what he got out of it.
matched
Yeah, and if you look at the last two games Ireland played against New Zealand, the line-out's been a major issue, particularly the one in Chicago in November.
matched
Ireland's numbers were way down there.
matched
And even if you just look at the game against Japan,
matched
If Ireland had a top-quality functioning line-out, I think it would have been... Ireland would have won at a canter, I would say.
matched
Because Japan's two tries directly come off Ireland line-out mistakes.
matched
As Birch mentioned, the first one where there's obviously a trigger miss somewhere and either the throw goes too early or the jump is too late.
matched
It lands into the hands of the Japanese winger and he's away for the try.
