  • Bring back ROG to starting 15! He is clearly the better player. Sexton needs to take a back seat for a while, at least until he learns how to kick. We can’t afford to be missing so many kicks, and ROG’s confidence and dependability will be vital against Italy to get ahead and stay ahead. Johnny is a great half, but his poor kicking performance over shadows his contribution in play, in my opinion.

  • It won’t be too long until a poor kicking performance will prove costly. If we beat Italy next week, if! Then it’s knock-out rugby, do the "golden generation deserve to lose out due an inept goalkicker? I think not. Sexton to inside centre & ROG to half-back, normal service resumed. I thank you.
    Before I’m slated for being anti-Johnny, I’m not, I prefer him at 10, but I would also like the team to progress as far as possible and this can only be done IMO with ROG at half-back

    They scored the 2 best tries of the game in my opinion. Really nice. Fair play to them.
