[the truth]

No rugby fans here?

anyways game 2 Versus western force

If game 1 was welsh dominated, game 2 was more Irish dominated with some expert kicking from welsh 15 halfpenny and some good outings from England tuilagi , vinipola and parling and Farrell off the bench

generally a tidy display.....solid in many areas.

ratings halfpenny 7.5 kicked an amazing 12 from 12 kicks and covered everything
14 bowe 8 the man is class
13 BOD. 8.5 written off more times than ali but again he looked awesome
12 tuilagi.7 big game. carried well and put in nice offloads
11 north 7 carried well made a lot of yards nice offload to BOD
10 sexton. 8 class in a glass
9 murray. 6.5 solid
8 heaslip 8. looks to have slight edge over faletau in ball carrying
7 Obrien. 7.5 big game. though I prefer him at 6
6 croft 7 industrious round the park.
5 awj 7.5 huge workload again
5 evans 6.5. didn't notice him much but solid tackles all day too
3 cole. 6. lost a few scrums and didn't pop up much around the field.
2 best 5.5 great player but way too many overthrows and lost scrums
1 vinipola. 8. massive game

healy taken to hospital with suspected sprained ankle
