    Something which bugs me about this 'choke' tackle. If it's a maul, why aren't the 'chokers' penalised for collapsing it?

      Irish very lucky at breakdown not to get pinged for coming in from the side. Instead Aus penalised for not releasing. Big call.

        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 have lost the plot. Why kick it away?

              Yep bad call but the return kick was worse, now Aus throw a stupid pass into touch. Composure lads. Easy for me to say siting on my fat arse lol.

                2 minutes to go, reminds me of WC final in 11. Can Ireland hold 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?

                    Advantage Ireland for horizontal tackle. Foley in the bin. Looks like Ireland have it. Great game.

                        Aus win a scrum and one last chance to score and length of the field try.

                          And discipline, I'm glad they are playing so well, only good for world rugby.

                            Ireland wins it, man of match goes to the entire pack.

                              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.

                                    That went well.

                                    Commiserations to Australia. Great test match.

                                      Fark me. I don't even want to think about how good Ireland would be with BB at 10. That pack is astonishing.

                                        Why does Mumm keep getting selected? Is it a special needs quota thing?

                                          Exactly who is the Aus captain? Bonocock speaks to the ref more than Moore.
