Ringrose and Henderson out, Doris, Sheehan and Kelleher to be monitored
This third quarter factor was discussed at half time, prompting Andy Farrell to note sardonically: “Obviously, it’s very good coaching because Johnny couldn’t remember, but actually the third quarter of the game has been our worst quarter so far, and it was mentioned at half time about us being better in that regard.
Although Van der Flier, true to type, has occasionally practised his throwing not even Farrell could have planned for a rejigged Irish scrum, with Healy at hooker, winning the 54th-minute penalty from which Van der Flier’s throw would hit Peter O’Mahony in the build-up to James Lowe’s match-turning try.Ireland’s Cian Healy with Jack Dempsey and Jonny Gray of Scotland during the Six Nations game at Murrayfield.
“So, it was making a plan, and then Ronan came back out and we didn’t know whether he was doing the plan or not. So, ‘organised chaos’ is the right word but how we went about our business. Do you know what? Honestly, I said: ‘Embrace it lads. This is great; exactly what we want.’ Everyone was smiling and up for it. It says a lot.”
Alas, Ringrose’s head knock, which required a 7½-minute stoppage, and Iain Henderson’s wrist surgery mean both will cruelly miss a once-in-a-career game when Ireland seek to seal a fourth Grand Slam next Saturday at the Aviva Stadium . The IRFU have confirmed that Dan Sheehan , Kelleher and Caelan Doris will be managed in camp this week. The six-day turnaround is unhelpful.
