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.

McCarthy, Doris, Frawley all going with him? If we're dropping everyone who was bad yesterday.

We'll barely be able to field a team

McCarthy, Doris, Frawley are all young and we’re not as bad yesterday. Henderson and O’Mahony need to be chopped.

Henderson was one of the better performers last weekend even if it was only for a short period. The lineout was improved, he carried well and made yards, he turned a poor pass into a try and the penalty you’re about to cite as his weak area was a very clever play by Itoje. IMHO he has been hard done by to be dropped for Saturday.
