Yep agree. Just had a look and assuming we come 4th and get a home round of 16 and mange to win that - the quarter final would be away at Leinster…Scott1 wrote: ↑Sat Jan 21, 2023 8:28 pmYes,maybe that's the case with 1st and 2nd then. Either way it doesn't excuse the loss (not saying that's your angle btw)SthrnTiger wrote: ↑Sat Jan 21, 2023 8:23 pmYou sure? We’re likely to come 4th and would have likely come 3rd if we had won. Surely need to be top 2 to get home QF.

Sorry, my bad. I thought it was Kelleher,Furlong and Porter. Either way Leinster provide 2/3 of Irelands front row and that never struggles so it was obviously just a bad day at scrum time. Congratulations on your online winwigworth wrote: ↑Sat Jan 21, 2023 9:14 pmLol that wasn't their second choice front row, Porter, Sheehan and Alaalatoa are all their current first choice players, only Furlong would be ahead of Alaalatoa if fit. Unless they are hiding some real unknown gems I fail to see how 2/3 of the Ireland front row wouldn't be considered their first choice.Scott1 wrote: ↑Sat Jan 21, 2023 8:29 pmThat was their second choice front row v Gloc last week if you are referencing that game,or certainly not their best 3 combinationwigworth wrote: ↑Sat Jan 21, 2023 8:25 pm
They can be beaten, although most likely not by us. Their scrum is extremely suspect so it wouldn't surprise me if a SA team was able to knock them off if they play super physical, the other aspect will be how healthy Ireland stay in the 6 nations if they pick up a few injuries the task becomes less daunting.

We really should have been out of site so it is only our own fault, but awarding that final try by saying you can see it over the line is an utter disgrace, our disallowed try should have stood (even though it clearly wasn't) because the ref said I saw it grounded (He really needs to go to Specsavers)

He also missed at least one penalty infringement by the Osprey's tight head in the series of scrums they had near our line in the closing minutes. However 3 things killed us before that:Chobbsy wrote: ↑Mon Jan 23, 2023 10:50 am We really should have been out of site so it is only our own fault, but awarding that final try by saying you can see it over the line is an utter disgrace, our disallowed try should have stood (even though it clearly wasn't) because the ref said I saw it grounded (He really needs to go to Specsavers)
Poor line out while Clare was on
Inability to make the most of our attacking chances
The poor pass that led to their breakaway try
Cut those out and we would have been comfortably ahead by the last ten minutes.
Tigers for the premiership and European Cup. Get behind the team and make some noise!!

We just looked bereft of ideas in their 22 for the most part bar the tries - which led directly to their breakaway try. How many times was a grubber charged down too? A least 3 or 4.

True.

Sir also wrongly did not deem the ball to be held up over the line. I think this was over the 80 mins, so that would have won us the game.
