Game at Thomond Park took over 2 hours to play today. Appreciate need to get calls right, but it's still too long. Supporters at venue & watching on TV frustrated with all the stoppages. Some refs need to trust their eyes & instinct more & not always go to TMO

A 73-cap 'stopgap' - seriously? Victim of 2 illegal hits from English players in first quarter both of which warranted yellow cards & not just one. And yes defensively he could have been better for first try
