AI: Ireland v South Africa; Aviva Stadium, Sat 10 Nov [MOD WARNING POST #1160]

Didn't wrap, should be red, probably will be yellow

Burgo

Not even tried to tackle him, straight up shoulder charge.

I really wish the Irish players would step-up. Same problem as always, do silly things but let the opposition away with much more serious stuff and get the same punishment. Stand up for yourselves for ****sake.

Ridiculous to call that a red Lenihan. .5 seconds later and it's a monster hit, like Ashton's on Aplon.

Christ that was dangerous - Henry got smashed by JP Pieterson on the restart and he gets a yellow card.

Sexton is being targeted with cheap shots when on the deck. I'm not happy, the officials need to watch that.

That wasn't a monster hit...that was a shoulder charge, illegal even if he had the ball.

I didn't realise they'd made shoulders legal.

Have to make an effort to wrap, he had both arms down low to one side

Agree with everything bar your assessment of POM, he's been solid so far. Backrow as a unit are going great, we're the better team at the breakdown

Murray is having a great game so far too, snappy delivery

Yeah but thats as much Ryan McCarthy and Strauss as the backrow

d-gal

God Ryan and POM love a scrap, reminds me of the old Munster.

Nice to see Strauss getting involved, I'm sure he is getting some sly digs

steve walsh is a touch judge you would need to get shot for that guy to do anything

Blackheath

The scrum has been very good

matthew8

Look at the replay guys, he was in the process of wrapping as he made the hit.

valerie

Ryle getting a little confused - "CJ Van de Merwe of Leinster"

errlloyd

Ill give him the benefit of the doubt and say he realised he had over run it and was trying to back out hence lack of wrap.

gally74

Scrum v solid with Ryan and McCarthy, Henry

Looks like him and Adriaan were having a few words after the henry hit!

ScissorPaperRock

We need to sort out the lineout. Better this time

lol was he ****.

flyswatter

Good to see Ireland standing up to their shit, getting involved in scraps. I'd usually be against that but it's good psychologically here.

durkadurka

This is very winnable

CIARAN_BOYLE

I thought Murray was going well but he has done a couple of bad passes in the last minute, balls to the head or the toes

Ref not listening to Heaslip is an issue too

leakyboots

Lambie is brutal at kicking a rugby ball

irishbucsfan

Clearly taken back in!

errlloyd

Carried back surely.

Blackheath

Lineout looks sorted

leakyboots

Mauling Saffers off the park, great to see

Fireball07

Aw Earlsy, disappointing pass.

goreyguy

poor poor pass by earls, poor ball to sexton by murray aswell

Max Power

Keith Earls has been shocking. Take him off FFS.

You'd imagine they want to get under Richardt's skin. He's a strong character though.... and a runner too it seems, sorry Lambie!

Banbridgeman2

3 poor mistakes from earls now he needs to settle in

[Jackass]

Jayzus Earls...

Lovely maul though.

Think it was meant for Zebo, but he left it. Poor pass and we're lucky the penalty was coming.

Max Power

Poor kick, no atmosphere at all.

.ak

Tight miss off Sexton's worst side.

I'm not sure he knew who it was going to

Was a bit wayward, still he's been lively enough and good in defence.


Hard luck Sexton

leakyboots

Some steal by the Saffer there on Jamie

On the replay it looked like it was meant for Bowe and zebo got a small touch on it , could be wrong tho

matthew8

This game reminds me of 15-10 in Croke Park, also against SA.

irishbucsfan

Great play Murray. Hard luck with the pass

Ah here, he's been poor enough but he's made one of the few genuine breaks. Just back from injury too remember

Lelantos

Great steal by Murray, pity it didn't work out

CIARAN_BOYLE

Pienaar going for a very long one

bossa_nova

It'll be some kick if he makes it

Fireball07

Superb from Murray, pity the pop pass didn't come off.


Hope Pienaar doesn't get this.
