Crash

@chimoaus
About 3 time now he's taken that hard straight line through the middle and managed to fracture our defence

@Tordah what happened?

After Fekitoa scored and Barrett was lining up the conversion, the usual TV director shit comes up and he shows the last pass which was flat, a few in the stadium start to boo, Rory Best comes running from behind the posts up to Barrett who was preparing the kick and PEyper and wnats them to check

Whats wrong with checking something having the correct call? The TMO has already fucked up once in this game. It should be 9-7 to Irish.

Lol

@JustAnotherFan

Agree on Barrett try - but not sure on your maths. Generally after a penalty try 5 points are awarded and then a kick from in front takes place - we have to believe even despite his issues Barrett would have kicked that.

So even if that was forward (which it clearly wasn't) still 14-9.

@JustAnotherFan Don't stop there, Go full retard and suggest the All Blacks should be down to 7 players

This has been a bloody good game, despite the reffing and the whinging. Good hard rugby, generally high skill, good coaching (from one side) and a pleasure to watch

All the whinging bullshit Irish window dressing aside Ireland have came to play today - they still don't have much on attack unless they catch you on a bad day - but absolutely full credit for actually fronting and giving a good tight test.

Schmidt has Ireland playing the type of rugby Gatland has spent 10 years trying to get Wales to play.

These Irish coms go to the same school as Phil Kearns.

Yeah, 9 points is poor considering they had 20 minutes against 14, at home, with a crowd influencing a ref

@chimoaus all comms are blinkered twats - it's a fact.

Need to hold on to this margin. No doubt the Irish will claim they won the series if they get within 10

unlike most of our opponents this year

Fekitoa kills the counter attack dead...

Yes but some are worse than others - Kearns and this mob - I actually don't mind Barnes, et al they at least recongnise good play rather than make excuses

Have you ever heard Justin Marshall call a game?

SynicBast

I hope Crotty comes back soon, Fekitoa gives me the shits with his lack of discipline and decision making - he';s a good runner but that's about all he really offers

Luigi

@jegga I have had that displeasure, yes.
