The IRISH RUGBY thread

[Rois]

The later trains are sold out.  I'm bringing a client and have booked the first plus on this train, so would really like to get it.
There's a DART at Lansdowne Rd that gets to Connolly in 12 mins or so.  But I think I'd have to factor in the risk that I don't get near the DART platform.  I could also walk to the Point and get the Luas.

Aviva to the Point walking is a solid half hour. Dart platform should be ok if you don't leave too close to the end. All the goys will be getting their final pints in.

Couple of big calls already on this game

Very exciting player back in the day. A fall from grace that. Sad to see albeit you do the crime etc..

Did everyone manage to get the train ok after the match?

You'll need to assume you walk as the dart on match days is challenging ( the dart at the best of times is random)

this is 1 hr walk including time to get out of the stadium so you'd need to leave just after half way through second half which is a bit pointless.

The 5:50 may not have first class if it is  a non enterprise class - personally I'd enjoy the occasion and book a Dublin express bus (with a toilet)around 7 or  8pm and go for a pint after the game.

Leinster must be throwing round the money, see Jordie Barrett doing waterboy there. Take it he signed up for NZ off season.

Aye picked him up about 6 months ago. Using a sabbatical option for overseas play and will presumably return for the next WC cycle. I reckon they'll pull that rule soon as SA seem to be able to make it work.

Looking mediocre so far

[gawa316]

Just too many handling errors

[Tony Baloney]

One of the lads called on here a while ago that Ireland's lineout was in poor shape. More here in the second half.

Australia'sdefenisve line have been tight despite Ireland not being great.

Just enough

Been a hard worked series
