The IRISH RUGBY thread

If Ferris could have held onto that ball, it would be all square.

Now the south african rookie misses a bad kick.

[Capt Pat]

Aplon did well there but I think Kearney sold himself out there. 14 points in it now.

[Celt_Man]

At last something to cheer about

[Capt Pat]

A good try by Bowe makes Aplon look bad. 7 points in it.

Ronan O'Gara showed his class with that pass.

[Declan]

Hope it's only because it's the first game but we are brutal and that is the worst south African side I have seen

[orangeman]

Aplon is rubbish.

[ross4life]

Lucky try but who cares? difficult kick here now

[Croí na hÉireann]

Brutal game, set up for a good finish now though

[Capt Pat]

We should have kicked the peno, but now we have a try.  Aplon is falling apart.

[orangeman]

Some 2nd half.


S Africa have conspired to make a game of it by making fundamental errors and giving Ireland easy points.

[orangeman]

We should have kicked the peno, but now we have a try. Aplon is falling apart.

New Zealand will love him.

[Capt Pat]

Don't contest the rolling mauls. There is no need.

[orangeman]

Better 2nd half.

S Africa were going through the motions.


Poor crowd for the opening game.

[ross4life]

Deserved win for SA but with O' Driscoll, O'Gara,Stringer, O' Connell all around 32/33 how are these guys going to be replaced?
