The worst part is that these tactics are flowing down to junior ranks so no after all the blood sweat and tears of the junior program of coaching baal in hane, flyhalves and fullbacks now think it first choice option to kick -
I would live to se spme states on Bernies/Ella/ kick/pass/run and also the relative success rate of those mid field kicks that are just damned frustrating to comprehend.
but seriously, between scotty's analysis and dwyer's points about ireland being set up to return before we even kicked the damn thing, it makes you wonder how they were so thick to continue with shit kicking tactics all through the first half. at least there was some improvement after the half. "playing what's in front of you" should have caused a shift in tactics as it was obvious the paddy's were covering kicks easily.
