IRB TOSHIBA Junior World Championship 2009 - Live

U20's doing well.

Crhist the Kiwi's are touchy about their damn Haka.

The commentators are going off that it was insulting, blah, blah

The haka is a f*****g challenge. Whats wrong with standing up to that challenge??

Crash

The Kiwi doesn't seem to give much of a ****, its the english fella who was having a hissy fit.

Crash

Yellow card for the kiwi 15, took Madigan in the air. In fairness realised his mistake straight away and tried to catch him but still awful move.

Amabokke

Ireland playing well except their players getting a bit isolated.

Commentator is a bit idiotic.

should be a yellow.

Rattlehead_ie

IRB commentators, terrible!!! When you look at a man and tackle him in the air its not trying to save him!!
Otherwise they are doing very well. COME ON IRELAND!!!

Amabokke

Ireland def not scared to go into the breakdown and win the ball...maybe Lions need a few tips from the youngsters

Missed last 10mins, Kiwi just got binned for something and our lads are only 0-3 down.

I've watched a bit of these lads, and Madigan, Kearney and McKinley have always stood out, as well as Ulsters Nevin Spence at 13

Crash

Backrow playing exceptionally. Looks like it'll be a fair few years before we're running out of talent there.

Rattlehead_ie

Back row are serious for a group of young lads! Young Ryan is exceptional tackler!

Amabokke

Ireland needs to revert to 10 man game and hit the ABs 10 channel. Irish backline is a bit shaky. ABs 10 a bit nervous.

Crash

...so everyone else getting loads of work done then yeah?

funky penguin

So what did the irish lads do when the haka was going on, one of these jobbies?

I got told by my manager to calm down when I called the referee a dick in the middle of the office, ooooops!!

For sure, deadlines being met left right and center :pac:

Good performance so far, too many errors from both sides really but encouraging that we are able to hold these so called "invincibles" according to that muck commentator. Backrow are playing superbly, O'Hara especially and the backs are doing the best they can with the ball they are given. Nice breaks from Nevin Spence, Ian Madigan and McKinley. So far so good, we have them worried.

ALH-06

Fair play to the lads who are playing the Irish music at half-time! Really getting the Japanese crows going!

Crash

I'd include Sheridan in there as well - made a couple of thundering runs straight into the AB's and somehow come out the better each time. Beast of a young fella.

Amabokke

Irish 10 playing with good confidence, he should do more breaks and chips..

All I'm getting is the referee, no commentary, are you going through the irb website?

It's working fine for me using the link for the IRB website that was given earlier in this thread.

EDIT: http://www.irb.com/jwc/video/index.html

It's a good job they can't kick or we could be 12 or so points down.

chupacabra

The chants of "NEH SHAI LAN" from the japanese supporters are hilarious.

coylerwhaa

dunno why you youngsters dislike Nigel Starmer Smith(the commentator), his voice makes me all nostalgic. Rugby special on sunday evenings etc
co-commentator bit of a dick tho

You should probably count yourself lucky! :pac:

Spence (13) is having a great game.

RuggieBear

score? (firewalled here)

Amabokke

Ireland their own worst enemy. They have the ABs rattled yet don't capitalised on that. Back to the basics with fewer penalties and they can take it...
