Why post something that's completley false?

I suspect it hadn't become clear at that point what provoked it. I certainly didn't see the stamp until the replay several minutes later.

I feel that forward pass call is harsh. It is nearly impossible to throw a ball backwards when running at full tilt.

Tom Court is pretty rubbish at the aul scrummaging

This isn't JCT though, it's professional sport. If the opposition notice they're getting under your skin they'll try to take advantage of it, there were many sarcastic pats on the back for POM after conceding that pen for instance

When has POM ever been penalised for habdbags though?

Nothing focuses a pack of forwards better either.

some kick

Savage touchfinder from Madigan there.

Madigan's certainly on form.

Shut up TG4 commentators, talking over the ref ffs

its_phil

Commentator needs to shut up when the ref is talking!

Taco Corp

Commentators: shut the fcuk up when the ref is talking

Chabals Beard

I hate it when the commentator talks over the ref

Swan Curry

O'Donnell's been pretty quiet so far,hope he grows into the match.

Nah, the 9 has some right to use his boot. He was just a little bit too aggressive.

I only saw one replay, but it was a stamp. Thats illegal. Deserving of a yellow.

Micky Dolenz

My Irish is better then I thought \0/

Watching it on a Canadian stream.. Peter O' Mah-hoe-ney

Watch him turn in against a poor tighthead. Lazy.

I thought he was excellent in that last passage of play. Always on the shoulder of the ball-carrier, like a proper 7.

Tox56

An inauspicious start but that's far more Schmidt-esque

Our observer has obviously been observing with gusto by the looks of things. Off loading in the tackle, movement in the backline. I could cry with joy right now.

Chabals Beard

POM is running hard, nice little bounce on the hooker

I posted that about 30 seconds before those two carries Glad to see him carrying,he offloads fantastically well.

Buer

That's a yellow for stupidity.

Chabals Beard

What is that hooker at?

This is a really poor argument ibf.

When has Ashton ever dropped a ball over the line while doing a swan dive?

He hasn't, it still doesn't mean that he should be doing the swan bull****, he should just get over the line and score. Likewise the fact that POM hasn't been penalised for it yet does not mean that he should continue it.

Big_G

Little baldy hooker lucky not to be killed there.

The naivety/outright stupidity of some of the North American players on this tour has been staggering, the US more so

Buer

Line out has been much, much better today.

Fully expect us to miss this one now....

its_phil

That should be yellow for what was clearly slowing Ireland at breakdown

If he wasnt the half back it probably would have been

LeeroyJones

That hooker has to be binned

HigginsJ

An aul yellow wouldn't go astray

Buer

Gotta be a yellow against hooker!

Boss doing a great job of barking the foul play to officials. One more and someone absolutely has to go.

Hanging out on the wing though, he'll be wearing headphones to the toin coss next :P

wow, criminal not to score there!

Buer

Jesus, was harder not to score a try there.

Piliger

Good retention by Ireland .. we need more of this. Frustrating the Canadians now and they are just doing idiotic fouling. All good signs.

HigginsJ

Poor from O'Donnell. Should have finished that

Fireball07

Ah lads, can't be not scoring in that position.

Big_G

Someone needs to get a big stick and talk to the Irish pack about body positions in the maul. Canadians have countered well several times.

Clegg

We're butchering these chances.

grand half of rugby.

Canadians look pretty decent with ball in hand. Just can't compete (legally) at the breakdown though.

Tox56

This has shades of the Scotland match. Clearly the better team, countless opportunities, most of the possession, some build up play but letting chances slip

Tomtom364

Lads the difference an alright ref makes to the enjoyment of watching a game is never to be underestimated again...

He's nothing special, but compared to last week is he near perfection

Headin into the kitchen, anyone want some tea?? Last chance

Fireball07

12-9...could be more, few silly penalties conceded, couple of chances wasted. Canada aren't bad though, they look lively enough.


Madigan has been excellent, Boss has done well.... McFadden's looked very dangerous in attack, but that missed tackle was embarrassing tbqh. Jones started very well but since he got smashed a few times he's been quieter.

Lineout solid. Scrum good. Back row have all made their mark carrying,

Deliverance XXV

Canada slowing everything down. Game is absolutely made for Downey - give him a running ball and let him punch a few holes.
