The IRISH RUGBY thread

[BigGreenField]

Looked like an Irish side fulfilling a contractual committment of a match. Like when Oasis did TOTP.

I'd be willing to give the team a free hit with that one I think Australia and South Africa will tell a tale although I'm not sure we can beat either!

Sexton been big boots to replace.We looked at 2 options now, neither look good enough.

Aw guys a bit harsh there. Not a bad performance in three quarters pace match Different ref maybe Different outcome

[Genocide Organ]

Just thought the ref. was very fussy for both sides. As for the sending off - that was hardly his doing was it? Wasn't it reviewed by an off-field committee?

[David McKeown]

I see the red card was rescinded as whilst there was foul play it fell well short of the criteria for a red card.

The Irish rugby team are dung at the moment

Couple of well converted tries at the end put a gloss on the score. However I hope Ireland are not looking for a try in some game with clock winding down and Pendergast gives the ball away with an unnecessary chip like that. However his back flick pass for final try was a lovely move.

[BigGreenField]

My fear for some time has been Ireland are heading down the over coached player route for young lads coming through who can't then think for themselves.

The Leinster schools system is producing physical behemoth's however very little in the way of footballers.

Part of the reason the pipeline of players for the national side is struggling with pretty much all the creativity coming from overseas project players.

The Scot's are giving a good rattle against a poor New Zealand side (who have gotten away with all sorts of shenanigans on the deck)

The Jocks have had so many chances to be out of sight. Great attacking team but have definitely left a few tries behind.

Hard to underestimate the Celtic mindset need for a moral defeat, fuels the sense of injustice and grievance for another year.

Ridiculous challenge from Lood de Jager.

Ballsy from Gardner to give a straight red. You don't usually see it any more.

Aye it sounded initially like he was going to bottle it.

Scary stuff from the Boks after going down to 14.
