Poor form of Murray and Sexton continues to be a worry for Ireland

It's no coincedence that Ireland's poor form this Six Nations coincides with the poor form of Conor Murray and Jonathan Sexton.

It's been clear to see since the Six Nations opener against England that something isn't clicking with Ireland's influential half-back pairing. 

Murray, who is making his return to rugby after a bulging disk in his neck kept him out for a period of time, seems to be really struggling to re-gather his form which seen him awarded as World Player of the Year by Midi Olympique readers. With many picking up on his poor kicking game, which is usually Murray's strength, and the errors the scrum-half is making in his passing game.

Sexton on the other hand is struggling to find his form which seemed him names as World Rugby Player of the Year last year, looking a mile off the player he was last year. The Leinster flyhalf cuts a frustreated figure on the pitch and tht frustration was revident to see as he couldn't grasp full control of today's game. Was replaced on the 78th minute and his displeasure was clear to see.
