The Third Test Thread.

Ah Ruddock.

Sean Kinsella

Thought that was a KO, TBH

It matters not, we bash from side to side; go absolutely nowhere and surrender a relieving penalty.....sigh...

WTF was that for?

Something that wasn't pinged earlier in the match when SA did it

We dont deserve to win this game. Very disappointing, we've gone backwards.

Olding hasn't worked today.

Awful Ruddock

A-Train

Glen Jackson you do know there is such a line as the offside? Farce

Straight off feet. Patently obvious

Utopia Parkway

Jackson (the ref) is ridiculously inconsistent.

Kobe248

We really werent at the ballpark at all today

Still more disappointed in last weeks result

This is a series we should have won

vienne86

Last chance saloon.

Sean Kinsella

One last chance....

DDC1990

Idiotic from Ruddock.

Moronic.

Nift

Glen Jackson has let SA away with murder. He is a joke of a ref.

A bit of consistency ffs!! SA diving off their feet at almost every ruck and we get pinged first time Ruddock does it???

vienne86

Ah Jazuz!

gazump123

No release are you f***** blind.

Clegg

Bull****.

Gaf de Klerk never rolled away but Earls is penalised for holding on?

Do one ref.

nehe milner skudder

Amazing by faf.


Get up springboks!!!!!!!!!

Swan Curry

faf de klerk literally wrapped around him, come on

captbarnacles

Don't think we deserved it but SA making no effort to roll away at any ruck and then blatant hands in the ruck right in front of the ref.

ThisRegard

'sake.

Diabhal Beag

Great tackle but Earls was given a tired pass that caught him out

A-Train

Where was the release on Earls there! Farce joke of a ref!

vienne86

Sickened for the lads.

Stheno

Feck it anyway

TeoReid

Did the tackler release? Don't think so

Jacovs

Faf man of the match?

Adbrowne

thats a terrible way to end it, pen ireland all day

Dave_The_Sheep

Two tries saved from that SA 9. Fair play to him.

Nift

3 penalties there....Jackson is a joke

DDC1990

Sick.

Swan Curry

another winnable game thrown away with wasted chances

Just couldn't believe that greatest riding we've gotten in a while imo

wp_rathead

Should be our penalty
Klerk never released after the tackle

Didn't deserve to win mind

awec

Ah unlucky in the end. We ran out of ideas a bit, a lot of crabbing from side to side. Overall pretty positive though, the series in general has been a big positive for Ireland.

Kobe248

I know hes been a good servant

But Im happy thats the end of Reddan

Showed with that stupid pass the type of player he is

Supposed to be our most experienced player and lobbed suicidal passes out like that

Del.Monte

A dismal referring performance worthy of the Pro 12.

Rigor Mortis

got to feel we came out the worst on most of the reffing calls there

South Africa are pure rubbish and they still beat us over the three.

Sooner we get rid of Joe the better.

Won't win any GS or WC with him in charge.

Sean Kinsella

That's 3 tries we butchered and just one plus conversion, would have won it for us.

So it's the land of 'plucky defeat' for us once again.

Tigerandahalf

Schimdt at fault today. Too slow to bring on the bench.

As I said last week we still lack creativity in backkine.

Jack McGrath was out on his feet. Why was Bealham not brought on.

twinytwo

i often wonder do refs have to pass a medical? i can only assume that their vision isnt checked?

The Specialist

If I never see that ref again it will be too soon, would be giving him too much credit to even call his performance amateur.

dub_skav

Glen Jackson was absolutely dreadful. He's a young ex player though so that's good enough apparently

leakyboots

Harsh on Earls. Deep down, we didn't deserve it.

Leaving everything else aside, they blew that series... very dissapointing

LuckyLloyd

Opportunity missed. They were there for the taking the last two weeks. We blew it.

yosser hughes

That's a shame. Great tour performance. I'm delighted with it. So many positives. Jackson, Marshall,etc. showing they can cut it at this level.So many great performances.
Lots to be optimistic about.

I wonder if he's taken us, as far as he can TBH.
