Rodge will have bother getting the 10 shirt back off Sexton - Flawless so far with the boot.

And he can recycle in contact which O'Gara can't.

Aye. About time Ireland had a no 10 that can take the ball into contact.

Dead eye dick - good player - O'Gara will be very worried.

We're suffering at the scrum and we can't really get any momentum going at the moment.

South African defence is very solid and the second half will be a real scrap.

Johnny Sexton's kicking out of hand has been a bit patchy but that is understandable given that its really his first competitive international. Apart from that he has been quite accomplished. O'Leary has been poor enough again. His box-kicking has cost us a few times. I'd like to see Stringer given a go in the second half to mix things up a bit.
There's Seán Brady going in, what dya think Seán?

O'Leary has made a couple of good breaks but takes the wrong option too often and the box kicking is terrible.

Anyone noticed SA lying all over the ball constantly, especially Morne Steyn which Owens is ignoring. All in all not bad Sexton has been solid.
Do you think Usain Bolt could replace Thomas Walsh?

He has made two or three good snipes around the fringes but he has been getting isolated far too often.

Seán O'Brien called up onto the bench for Leamy. Hope he gets some time against the SA back-row. Class act this lad.


O'Brien on now for the injured Ferris.

Some woeful SA penalty kicks at goal - me hopes they'll regret them.

9 - 10 officials helping us out a bit. Another good kick from Jonny.

SA not liking the reffing -


Immaculate is pretty apt alright.



Rob Kearney is some player.
