From BBC:

This will require the greatest ever fightback in rugby league history if Ireland are gonna nab this. Half of Ireland's players have blood spurting from various parts of their bodies or on the end of a bone-crunching Fijian tackle.

[stephenite]

Yep - at least 4 players went off with blood streaming from their heads.

Firstly - these lads weren't Irish enough - now it's a shite sport?
