    Had to scramble to get this one out, so apologies if there are any mistakes/things that I missed. Editing the audio was also a bit tough given the length of the video. Please let me know what you think!
    Also would you like me to analyze Scotland vs Wales or England vs Italy for the next vid?

    Tadhg Byrnes try, the delayed disguised short pass by Crowley was brilliant. At the time i thought it was just awful defending because i didnt actually see the pass live, i think everyones eyes (including mine) had moved away from Byrne thinking he had overrun and would not receive the ball, also Byrnes inward running angle opened a massive gap outside him where Lowe and Henshaw had looped around and looked like the main attacking threat, that half second pass delay and the widening gap outside forced Danty to take a half step out, Crowleys quick look back to James Lowe, it looked like Byrne had already run ahead of Crowley and the defenders were just shifting their focus across to the second line when the almost sleight-of-hand pass was suddenly in Byrnes hands and he has was galloping free. Worth re-watching the subtle elements of that pass again. That try involved so much more than what i saw live. Kind of sums up Irelands attack, never quite sure where the ball is going, options all over the place and defenders end up slightly out of position, attackers tend to get hit with soft shoulders allowing them to get over the gain line nearly every time.

    The brawn over brains tactic no longer works to beat Ireland/Leinster. This textbook La Rochelle/Bok style has proved effective at beating Leinster in the past. Unfortunately that's no longer the case. Ireland/Leinster management and players are wise to the ways and are now exposing the heavier French players around the park. On defense they have focused on chop tables and taking big men down at the gain line as soon as they get the ball. On attack they are exposing the gaps and making the heavier players move around the park more. Ireland have exploited Frances decision to go for bulk over fitness. They went for weight in the forwards which is going to cost you playing against a team as quick as Ireland. For example playing Antonio is a trade off. You will win scrum penalties but concede more tries as he's so slow around the park. The most blatant exposure of Antonio being Keenans try in last years 6 nations. Ireland are evolving their tactics and are neutralizing bigger teams. The addition of Joe McCarthy has also given them a greater edge at the breakdown and gain line.

    Great analysis thank you. There’s been quite some analysis of the scrums Ireland lost and the view is that two of those scrums should have been Irish penalties. But unfortunately Porter (who actually scrummed well) has developed a reputation for not scrummaging straight and it seems that refs are now penalising Ireland even when the penalty should go the other way. So a bit of work to be done here.

    Something people overlook is that Ireland ruck speed is largely made possible by the short passing tactics meaning the halfback is at the ruck as soon as it’s formed, nearly to the point JGP sometimes has to stop to let clearers in first

      How come Ireland almost never gets a red card?
      Cards often come from teams under pressure resulting in one of them getting a rush of blood to the head and lashing out.
      The first card France got was a clear red and they were let off lightly with a yellow.
      Imagine, tackling properly being part of the modern game, crazy stuff altogether.😂😂
