O'Brien for me was absolutely pivotal today.
A sub that took it to another level. No self doubt, just performance.
Indeed. And today was very much one of those days

Genuinely thought he'd be a nightmare for us.
He did too.
He won't sleep well tonight

Feels like the greatest win against England EVER!
Actually crying
And all the teams target that. Easiest yards they'll make all competition

Indeed.
And it tells us that the 69% tackle success would be a LOT lower if he committed to as many tackles, but the lad is petrified of contact so avoids as much as he can.
Including hospital passes in his own try area.
I also feel like the stats miss some of the obvious too

I've had such an incredibly busy and stressful week in work. And it looks like I have months of high stress stuff ahead.
The weekend can't come soon enough.
And all I need, apart from sleep, is for Ireland to somehow hop off the English.
Please. Pretty please.
It's arrogance. The belief you're one of the powerful, not one of the powerless. They seek to align themselves with who they think are their peers, the angry controlling power. Then the leopards eat their face too.
