The IRISH RUGBY thread

Look at the atmosphere in the Aviva today for the cup final compared to the same stadium on Friday night. Its like night and day.

I thought the Bealham yellow card was harsh. It is a long time since I played but I thought he did nothing wrong.

Wasn't as harsh as calling play back by 3 mins after Argie's try.

All the one play?

Yep all the one play.

It kind of makes chaos theory seem like a straightforward calculation when a team sport is allowed to pulled back by 3 minutes.

No question it was a foul. It was 95% a yellow. No issues with either call there.

But these refs are miced up the point they can't breathe without some spectator looking over the shoulder.


No need to allow a contact sport to run on like that.

Not harsh - croc roll, player in low tackle/jackal position being rolled sideways by Bealham, high risk of popping a knee and dangerous play.

And now to make the aviva atmosphere worse than it already is, a bloody trumpet?

Have to admire Argentina.

Geographically where they're at, it's hardly surrounded by big rugby nations.

[Blowitupref]

Argentina messed up there at the end could easily have been a first ever home defeat against them.

Ireland's form is worrying

World #1... Ha

Poor bench. Still replying on 40+ yr old subs.

No excitement in that backline. Pumas blew it

What happened at the end?

What happened at the end?

knock on at a ruck about 10 meters out after Argentina had gone 80 yards over multiple phases.

Lads only thought Ireland were bad in the past few World Cups I think we're going to struggle over the next few years!
