RWC: Ireland v Samoa (Pool A)

[gt12]

Nice kick Sexton.

[ACT Crusader]

Justice that kick going dead.

[gt12]

Are those Irish chasers onside?

He takes two steps back and kicks it and I’d swear their chasers are in front...

[Bones]

He blew that knock on bloody quick, Samoa had a turnover there and broken field.

Fuck off TMO there was nothing there. You suck

I have a lot of sympathy for the samoan player - he got low early and it was Stockdale who made it dangerous for himself. If Stockdale keeps his normal body height, you've got a fair (and probably punishing) tackle.

Also, no HIA? That looked like it hurt and he went straight down after.

Lam : "What do you want us to do?" Berry: "Tackle lower"

Jesus, he was a foot off the ground! It's not his fault Stockdale thought it would be a good idea to headbutt his shoulder!

[akan004]

Larmour is a big improvement on the ageing Kearney.

[Bovidae]

No need to watch the 2nd half.

[MrDenmore]

It must be getting to the point where players on offence deliberately drop into the tackle to elicit a card. An utter farce.

[antipodean]

Do another of those wrap arounds Sexton.

[Derm McCrum]

Now that Ireland have built another lead, they will kindly let the opposition score

[African Monkey]

Kane Leaupepe continues to impress.

[Derm McCrum]

Yep. There it is.

Good score Lam.

[African Monkey]

Go the Manu!!!

[antipodean]

"Tackler release" cries the spastic with the whistle ignoring the fact that the player isn't tackled.

[Bones]

How many Irish tackled Lam around the head there?

[Bones]

Red card for Aki...

[African Monkey]

@Bones Absoutlely!!! Send the traitor off!!!

Red card for Aki...

Has to be, doesn't it? Forceful contact to the head. He wasn't falling. Straight red.

[antipodean]

No mitigation here. That should be red.
