James Ryan would want to smarten up.

Ryan fast becoming the most unlikeable player in world rugby, and not in the good way you’d like to have him on your team.
nothing like a good irish man trying to get a Irish played banned and Jim are you really that bitterIt’s really very very stupid. That attitude will cost Ireland big time in a game they very dearly would want to win.Absolute waste of space. Reason Furlong arse went flying up in the air at 2 scrums because Ryan has no power coming through from the second row
He has become a dirty player or has he always been? The last few matches he is always involved in something
I’ll be honest the referee didn’t do anything to manage this ill discipline. How many incidents were there? Maybe two or three like this?

James Ryan is a yellow card magnet.
Ryan the poor man’s Etzebeth
But every team needs a villain don’t they?
