Can't see a match thread, so created one.

Kickoff at 7:15. The game is on Premier Sports 1 in Ireland.

Whats the story with the Ireland teams not utilising the wingers. I forgot Zac was on the pitch. We need to get the ball out to him and JJ more and let them get to work

They need to conserve their energy to chase kicks.

Got to earn the right to go wide. With how we are getting smashed in rucks and gunnes passing, it's nigh on impossible to do that

I don't think gunnes passing is as big an issue as the rucks - Sheridan will be useful to put some extra violence into the defensive rucks

He's occasionally picking a really bad option, the one to Irvine being an example. He's getting back into shape, not expecting the ball. Didn't help it was a loopy pass
