Ire v Aus
-
great game this one , could go down to the wire
-
Ireland get out of jail on the back of a penalty, thought he would blow in Aus favour there for both hands in the ruck and coming in from the side.
-
Aus are blowing this big time.
-
Something which bugs me about this 'choke' tackle. If it's a maul, why aren't the 'chokers' penalised for collapsing it?
@Bones also last week in the AB-Ire game, you cold see the Irish ball carrier in one of the mauls, lifted his feet off the ground, about 5 sec later maul collapsed and we got pinged.
Maul penalties quite often are just given to the attacking team, almost regardless of how it went down despite the attacking team either not being bound properly or playing thier part in bringing it down, which begs the question why dont we use it more?
-
Aus win a scrum and one last chance to score and length of the field try.
-
well done ireland , thought they may get blown away at one stage , one thing they are not lacking is grit
-
All over as Aus fail to even get the ball out of the scrum.
Good game, Aus will feel they should have won given their domination in the 2nd half, but Ireland will be pleased with the way they kept their heads and managed to get the job done, winning ugly is what the good teams do.
-
Irish pack is just excellent. Their TH furlong is a beast and surprise surprise VDF got man of the match.
-
Rory Best looks like a player's Dad
-
That went well.
Commiserations to Australia. Great test match.
