Half Time Score: Leb 4 Ire 12

Good display from ireland, squandering possession tho, too many turnovers. Neat forward display, but the Leb look dangerous on the break.All getting a bit tasty too, v. physical

Is E Griffith playing? My sister wont let me watch!

toomevara

Dont know jeapy, will keep me eyes peeled. 10-12 to Ireland, under huge pressure at the moment

Jeapy

Thanks! Ive been looking up the net for a list of the team but no good! He played in New Zealand in May and against England in June so it'd be nice to see him on tv...if she'd ever turn the channel! :mad:

toomevara

No sign of him I'm afraid, bloody hell its a close affair. ireland just levelled at 16 all. If it stays this way we'll qualify...

Ireland through to the WC in Oz! Fair play, a filthy dirty game, bloody lebanese, honestly, we spend twenty years over there stopping 'em murderin the bejaysus out of each other an how do they repay us? By trying to decapitate any Wolfhound who came near em...

Too much turnover ball, and poor discipline nearly cost us dear, but good to see the homegrown lads having a good game..

Well all we've got to do is get out of our group and we'll top the union boys....

Jeapy

yay brill! Thanks for the update!

Twas a close call - I thought that decision to take the penalty to go 14-10 up was going to cost us dearly..

Paul Tergat

great stuff, nice to see them in the WC.

Aussies will win it comfortably IMO.

Hard to see beyond them alright specially with home advantage, wouldn't write England off though, think the standard of the super league game has risen considerably over the past couple of years, and key playmakers like McGuire and Burrow are, imo, as good a anything the aussies got...

Three horse race at best, p'haps the kiwis can pull off a tri-nations style shock. Reckon tomorrow's game in Hull could be good one...

Mweelrea

speaking of england have you seen the group they've been drawn into??

tough stuff

ours ain't too bad

toomevara

Yep, think we could trump the union boys and qualify out of our group!
