No obvious candidates. Hendy would seem to be most suited to the leadership role but he's not an automatic starter

Agreed. McCloskey on the bench would have provided a more dynamic impact than Jimmy O'Brien. Just providing cover isn't always necessary when other players can effectively reposition. NZ hadn't huge physicality from 9-13. They struggled with Aki. Aki and Stu had a good cameo at 12 and 13 against the scotch. Ireland needed something dynamic at the end. Perhaps a big carry drawing in defenders. With two physical threats, either potentially being the decoy. I think Joe Schmidt had Ireland worked out.

Not a word from the Dublin scribes of the atrocious throwing of Sheehan and Kelleher in the S. African and NZ matches
POC is supposed to be the lineout guru. Not much evidence of his input

The biggest mistake was facing the Haka in the formation of a pair of mammaries.

Sorry Justin you are wrong.
It was the figure 8 in memory of Anthony Foley who died on 16 Oct. 2016
The Irish team has done this before.

England now world beaters. If the Fijians hadn't thrown the ball away so often, it could well have been a different result.
