Helped by Ntamack walking across the backfield he was meant to be covering.

Yeah, it’s not about how good Lowe is, it’s about how good the AB selectors thought the other dozen wings and fullbacks on that level were.

The slow ambling run to the left and then flopping weakly into contact by Hansen is starting to grate.

Irish forwards convinced that if they keep doing the same thing over again near the try line it will work.

Ireland not being clinical enough in the 22 - could come back to haunt them.

Ireland leaving 3 tries over the line so far.

Hope it won't cost the match.

At least Casey is quicker.

Keenan probably motm again.
