Ire v Aus
-
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.
-
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.

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

Yeah they are a bunch of hard bastards that do the basics really well. If they can develop some more depth in the backs they'll be a real force. Love Tahd Furlong, redefines the term built like a brick shithouse.

Yeah he's awesome. That one with the Dutch name is a hell of a player as well.

What a great game, congratulations to Ireland and all the Paddies on here.
At 17-0 down I thought it would be a space job, but then we got back into the game and looked like we could run away with it ourselves.
In the end the Irish side just finished better, and the composure and execution that won us matches against the Scots and Frogs deserted us when we needed it. Can't be too disappointed in the Wallaby effort, and the game really could have gone either way.

Cheers Barbarian. I thought Australia had it in the bag in the second half, particularly after the Ireland backline replacements. But the comeback was good to see with the final try.
How good is that Australian backline when it gets purring? Jeez.
Josh van der Flier and Tadgh Furlong the Ireland players of the November internationals for me. The Six Nations should be good.
