They must have practised their kicking have they even changed the ball anyway ?

Need BOD and POC to get us on the front foot. LEAD!

Argentina missed 18 points and England missed 15 [NB if both sides had made their kicks England still would have won].

Not sure about the others

A bit. I have lots of family in America and I tend to go for the underdog.

by **Ozzy3213** Sun 11 Sep 2011, 8:17 am

If ROG keeps on putting Ireland into the right areas they could rack up a decent score here now.

New balls please!

by Guest Sun 11 Sep 2011, 8:19 am

If this has happened to Paterson, Sexton etc, then I'mr eally worried for Priestland in the SA game.He's a confidence kicker anyway!

Right, Wales panic over for now, got to focus back on the men in green!

Best been my standout Irish palyer so far.
