Rugby November Tests

Has Farrell took his eye off the ball with the Lions stuff? Or just a little transitional period for Ireland

Wouldn't lay it at Farrell's door person. Ireland attack has been pretty poor since Mike Catt left. Set pieces, particularly the lineout, have really regressed in the last 2-3 years. Paul O'Connell should be under pressure but seems to get a free pass, despite the line out troubles.

There's still a very good side there but not having Tadgh Furlong available for any of the November series has been a big big loss.

All that said, it doesn't help that everyone knew Farrell was off to the lions so there is probably a few % easing off from the players.

Yeah they really need to work with the attack coach. Think teams have worked us out a bit.
 

Either code, a player throws an elbow to the head like joao pedro did Friday night and the referee is involved instantly. Because otherwise there's a punch up for the ages.

Someone should ask a rugby referee what decision that gets on a rugby field and share it on youtube or whatever.
