Ireland v Wallabies

[Dodge]

Ireland get home, fair play. But Australia are back. Why can’t we have Schmidt

[sparky]

Irish defence holds and they win a penalty.

[sparky]

All over. Ireland 22 Australia 19.

Australia won't able to secure enough of the ball in the last 15 minutes of that match. All of Ireland's bench did their jobs well there.

[sparky]

Ireland will keep second place in the world ranking.

Ireland are favorably refereed in the rucks. How many times did they contest the ball without being on their feet ? That was already the case against the All Blacks.

[Bones]

Fucking hell Aussie you had that, useless fluffybunnies.

[Dodge]

I swear I’m blind to the Dorris thing, don’t rate him and don’t understand how he just won man of the match

Tbf, his try reminded me of Read. Wasn't really watching close enough to comment on the rest of the game.

Ref is good. He’s not bending to the Irish looking for foul play everywhere.

Biggest whingers in world rugby the last ten years.

@antipodean green is the new black.

I would love to have clarity why some teams are coached at the breakdown and others are just penalised without warning .
For me the Australians were given no favours by the official

[Bovidae]

I've just watched this game. Aust unlucky but Wright gave them a chance by taking the ball over the line. Shield the ball and have a lineout throw.

The best I've seen Lolesio play in a long time. The French TMO was a joke by not making calls over obvious missed knock-ons, yet happy to interject when there might have been foul play. More evidence that the high tackle laws don't apply to the Irish.

[NTA]

Watching back now.

Just got to McCarthy v Valetini skull Off

How - the fuck - is that not a card?

[NTA]

Tupou's break: should have given it to Williams straight away, running out to JAS and Jorgensen on the wing.

[NTA]

Sua'ali'i still has the league habit of turning a shoulder into an opponent after the ball has gone. Surprised he wasn't pinged

[NTA]

OMFG the clear knock on before Doris' try.

Fuck. Me. Dead.

[NTA]

53:00 Aki living his Kiwi roots - straight in at the side, followed at the turned over ruck by Kellaway straight off his feet but... winning... the penalty??

[NTA]

And then we are gifted three points after the referee shows no advantage but penalises ireland anyway. This is a farce

[Nepia]

Well that was a weird match for me to watch, I never cheer for Oz but I was clearly cheering for them in this match.

I really dislike Ireland. I hate their smugness over not booing the kicker, of course they don't boo the kicker, they're too tired from booing and whistling everything else throughout the rest of the match.

Ref decisions in rugby are still a lottery. There was one TMO review when I had the sound off where I genuinely didn't know if it was the attacker or defender they were reviewing.
