<p>Congrats Ireland, made history today, and I'm sure many more teams will continue to do so for a while.</p> -
Oh yes. <br><br>
That'll do nicely. <br><br>
14 men. Outstanding. <br><br>
Commiserations South Africa. -
Oh and I love the bookies<br><br>
Wales win on the handicap. <br><br>
England win. <br><br>
Ireland win. <br><br>
Treble handicap on Wales, England and Ireland win. <br><br>
Woo hoo! -
<p>great win for Ireland. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Man, the boks were dire. and that is being kind to them</p> -

<p>U20 quotas just lost to Argentina as well. And the sports minister has the nerve to say that it's teething problems and that we need to pray for the racists. If that's the case then I pray for you Mr. Mbalula</p>

<p>Nothing like a bok team today. no pride, urgency or ferocity. </p> -
Fairplay to Ireland. They played with heart and courage.<br><br>
SA strike me as finished (at least in the short term) as a world power. Imagine if the ABs had their record in recent times! -
<p>Only game I didn't get to watch. 14 men v SA in SA. A great win. Congrats to PH and the rest of the Irish Ferners. Great day, enjoy it. :drinks:</p>

<p>Well, I looked up the red card. My first reaction was yellow not red, but then I watched a second time. I think the green 6 takes off far too late to seriously charge the kick. That, combined with the contact to the head means I can see why the ref went red.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Still feels a bit weird for something that clearly doesn't have intent, but I can see why they got to where they got to. </p> -
<p>SA clearly in trouble as a rugby power. Ireland with its full squad and 15 men on the field you would expect to have an even chance of beating South Africa if the game was played in Dublin.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>14 men and away from home was something that was pretty much unthinkable. Not now.</p> -
<p>Stander turned his body because he didn't want a front on collision. If there was a front on collision it would have been far more dangerous for both players but he probably wouldn't have been penalised. I think it was a red card by the regulations but it shows how silly those regulations are.</p>

<p>Is SA really in that much trouble? It's not like they beat Ireland every time they play them. It's now 3-3 in their last 6 matches. </p>

<p>In Dublin it has always been a fair fight granted,, but the Irish haven't even come close on South African soil.</p> -

<p>It was only their 8th test in South Africa. Before Ireland's injury crisis I thought they would nick one test. It was more the circumstances of the win which surprised me.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I reckon South Africa are still a good team though.</p> -

<p>TBF, this was the first match on South African soil since 2004 so these games are really the first since Ireland have become a reasonably big boy ;).</p> -

<p>Agree, and they appear to be a much fresher team than either Oz or the ABs are - from coach through to players.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>With all the whining about transformation how on earth did Lambie get a start in this match? </p> -

<p>Jantjies and April seem to be his main competition. I just don't know why they don't make sure Kriel is starting.</p>
