All fair points. It is the nature of things that the last man to screw up gets most of the criticism. Moyne is also deserving of a good deal of flak.
Criticising him for this mistake is not begrudgery or forgetting all he has done on other days, it's simply dealing with the facts. Professional sport is ruthless, you're only as good as your last game
O'Gara has been a great servant to Munster and Ireland, however the reality is that this season he has been inconsistant and he looks to me like a player lacking in confidence.

Professional sport is ruthless, but fans are meant to be loyal.

You can be loyal but still criticise players on their bad days.
Loyal yes, blind, no
I guess it depends on ones outlook.
Yep and yours is red tinted!! I don't really give a toss if he is from munster/Ireland etc He Fecked up - someone mentioned above it was a fast game he was only on a few minutes!! he got up off the ground from missing another tackle on Spies. He is a pro rugby player nearly 10 years yet his defence is still woeful - this is down to technique- there are plenty of smaller players who could tackle- look at George Gregan over the years. If someone on my team including myself gave away that stupid 2nd penalty then yes they would get critcised- even people who only have a passing interest rugby (is that you Mr man) know you do not touch anyone in the air!!!
First test I blame Vickery plus coaching staff for not taking him off earlier, Moyne should have finished the 2nd chance as well.
They are professional athletes this is their job, is a builder/estate agent does a half This post will be deleted if not edited to remove bad language job for you - I guess you would not complain anyway. Maybe Munsterfans or the Leinsterfans websites are for you- where their rep players can simply do no wrong
I see ROG has been dropped from the squad for the 3rd test so his contributions to 3 lions tours has been to get beaten up and lose us a test a series
I forgive players making mistakes because that makes sport so great, if players were faultless there would be no drama. John Leahy missed an easy chance to score a goal against Clare in '97 and fluffed it, but I would never say he lost us an All Ireland. Roberto Baggio missed a penalty (strikers should not miss from the spot) in the world cup final defeat, but I only felt sorry for him, Ivan Lendl time and time again faultered at Wimbeldon when it looked like he could/should progress and I just wanted him to come back and try again ... I see the sport and enjoy the feeling that anything can happen.
