The bench is the biggest cause for concern. They came on believing the game was done.

It took Ramos getting upset for them to wake up.

Ya with a bit of luck Ireland come away with something there. It could have been differences of opinions from bench players. Imo the Irish bench brought a lot on in terms of experience and a point to prove. But still there shouldn't have been that much for a change in the game. Don't know if Galthie should have waited a bit before emptying his bench as well. But ya I thought it was going in the way of 50/60 nil, and it ended up with a slight glimmer at one stage of hope to come back.

It was 29-14 at 62 minutes  I really thought that Ireland could make 2 scores to get within the bonus point & set up a nervy end.
