AI: Ireland vs Argentina, 24th November K.O 2PM, RTE2/BBC [MOD WARNING POST #1]

Swiwi

Nice work Ireland! But Argentinian "tackling".

Aidric

Good man Sexton.

Poor tackling from Argentina - but we'll take it

Great work from Gilroy to get over the gameline, well worked again - three big holes in the Argentina defense in the space of a few minutes

Awful defending

You can only play what is in front of you.

Great finish by Sexton. Had a lot of work to do when he got the ball.

Murray is playing top class rugby, shows how silly his detractors are.

So are his 'detractors' supposed to predict the future or something? :pac:

Sloppy sloppy sloppy Argentina - hand back 5 straight after scoring 3 :P

You sound like George Hook;)

Best start from an Irish team in quite a while.

Lions 10 in the bag IMO maybe Gilroy too! (sorry getting ahead of myself)

ScummyMan

Arghhh another penalty!

rebel girl 15

ARGHHH!! FFS! Another penalty! Stupid! BBC commentator complaining that ref is calling release way too early - Earls should have the opportunity to challenge for the ball

Oh I am . Just commenting in their defence. Just I should just have said it was great defending

A-Train

Stupid giving away another easy peno straight away!

SoulRock

brilliant inside pass by Darce to sexton, great awareness.. excellent finish..

WTF is the Admiral William Brown Cup??

Poor restarts so far.

Laughable that some people are already acting like all the problems of the Kidney era are fixed after 20 minutes in this game.

Give him credit where it's due, he's already been directly responsible for both tries. Top notch stuff so far from him.

They should keep their mouths shut when they clearly don't know what they're talking about. QED.

POM been good in the lineout, credit him.

Argentina

FFS ref!!

No contest on the ground. Gonna have to change our tactics when we don't have the ball

Agreed he is playing brilliant but he is no Carter. That's what I meant

What on earth?

That restart was excellent. Look where we have the ball. You must be watching a different match to me!

Fantastic. Maybe The addition of Foley and the movement of Kiss really has made a big difference? Attack seems to be working

Our backs were against the wall coming into this. We seem to be able to pull out a performance in those situations (2nd Test in NZ, Australia in the RWC, England in the 2011 6Ns). I'm very happy with what I'm seeing so far, but it's only 1 game. Our problem has been consistency and it's going to take a few games before we can say anything has changed.

Can you give it a rest for the duration of the match at least? cheers.

Sanchez looks pretty concussed

jesus that poor lad looks all over the shop. He'd best not come back on.

Clareman

I wouldn't be D'Arcy's biggest fan but he's having a great game so far

The majority of the games he has played he has been poor and slow with his opass and usually at the bottom of rucks.

Today is having a good game and providing good quick service

molloyjh

GO ON STRAUSSY!!!!

Someone said his play so far was carter-esque. Reign your neck in and support your team

Just enjoy the game. The Kidney bashing can be left alone for now.

We can never enjoy a bit of bloody success.

Clareman

That'll do, great performance so far, cmon lads keep it up

Strauss you hero.

Yea he aint coming back. And if he does the doctor should be fired.

A-Train

Great from the Mighty Strauss!

molloyjh

Argentinian defence has been very poor though....

yeraulone

yay!

rebel girl 15

Bye bye Sanchez

Try Ireland again - three attacks, three tries - no matter what way you look at that, its a fantastic stat so far in the game

goreyguy

WTF is the Admiral William Brown Cup??

Argentina have been poor but we are punishing them, good to see. Lets keep it up.

Now lets not give away a stupid penalty here like we have the last two times arg restarted

.ak

Earls almost try would've been something. Delighted for Strauss tho!

Swiwi

Great start for Ireland. Argentina terrible so far, but fairplay to Ireland for taking their opportunities!

Clareman

3 tries in 20 minutes, from a winger, 10 and hooker, total rugby, lets keep it up lads

touts

Strauss and Gilroy are having a hell of a debut series.

RuggieBear

folks, can the usual suspects please stop with their usual criticisms of players from other provinces/coaches. it's tiresome

rebel girl 15

Definite improvement there, not conceding a penalty straight from the restart

molloyjh

Need to be better at the breakdown....

rebel girl 15

Sanchez looks like he is coming back on

One of the best you will read. But take in what you read.

Game over, some 'star' players should now struggle to get back into this team.

goreyguy

WTF is the Admiral William Brown Cup??

three restarts after tries have been poor.. only real criticism so far.

whats that doctor at?
