Sinead Kissane

I was surprised that he only got on for 10 minutes at the end because I think you could see the power in the scrum, particularly under the post that he helped provide on the tight head side of the second row behind Tyke Furlong.

So I was a bit surprised maybe he didn't come on for longer.

I know he gave away a penalty.

yeah I'm not sure about that penalty anyway yeah but I thought sorry just to round off I thought the bench was very good Tim Nick Timoney again was excellent made a crunching tackle in the corner and that big defensive stand that Ireland have so when I come away from Sinead I'm kind of thinking like how much of Ireland actually moved on from last week in terms of Paris yes they got the win but I still think there's an awful lot of questions hanging over this team

Yeah, but I wasn't asking him necessarily about Jack Crowley's missed kick.

And I thought, actually, I know you'll have a bit more on this in the Monday embargoed quotes, but I thought...

I'll give listeners the question I asked was to Andy Farrell was he more was his overriding feeling relief that Ireland came away with the win or frustrated that they actually didn't get the bonus point at the end but before I could finish the question Andy Farrell kind of jumped down my throat which I think gives you a slight indication I don't think he necessarily jumped down I don't think so just to

I think he got very defensive.

I think he got very defensive.

And from what he continued saying in the embargoed section, I think gives you a real insight into probably how difficult he's finding the tense situation as well for the reasons that you've outlined.

Because I think at the end of it, he will be frustrated that Ireland didn't get a bonus point.

Of course he will.

As crazy as that sounds.

And obviously, we're watching England at the moment losing to Scotland.

And that probably sums up the game.

But I thought like the ovation that Jack Crowley got when he came on was unbelievable.

And I think he fed off off the crowd a little bit.

And I thought like instantly the difference that he made to the shape of Ireland's attack.

In the build-up to Robert Ballacoon's try, who Andy Farrell said was one of the best tries that Ireland have scored in his tenure, Crowley was central to that in terms of taking the ball to the line, playing it flat, asking different kinds of questions.

He nailed the conversion.
