Hands on hips, the Ireland players stood dazed and confused as they looked around at each other in utter bewilderment. Georgia deserve credit, but at times Ireland made them look like a ferocious powerhouse that they most certainly are not. Eight games into Farrell's reign, we are still none the wiser as to what exactly the identity of this Ireland team is, or how the Englishman wants them to play. The framework around the attack continues to be totally muddled, as players don't look sure of what they are being asked to do, or how best to go about implementing it. For all the talk of 'heads-up' rugby under Farrell, Ireland rarely seem to look around and scan the options.
