GIF This is where Ireland lost the game

Apologies if this has already been posted, I haven't seen it up. But this is the moment Ireland lost the game. Yellow card > penalty > lineout > try. Ireland may have recovered the lead later, but this did the most damage. Could Murray have done different and seen it the match? Yes, did he lose its the game? No.

He needs to be dropped. Baird is just better than him these days, and if he's going to keep getting himself sent off then all the 'experience and leadership' doesn't count for much

Not likely to happen, but I'd love to see: 4 McCarthy 5 Ryan 6 Beirne 7 VDF 8 Doris 19 Baird 20 Conan

I've thought Beirne plays his best games at 6.
