    Not sure how Reece didn't get a penalty for Furbank holding on after that big hit. Looked Ike the linesman was calling in but nothing given

    Yeah, bizarre. He was being lifted off the ground, and wouldn't let go.

    the disco at every break in play does my head in (maybe I’m just a old traditionalist!)



  • Registered Users Posts: 2,094 ✭✭✭testtech05


    Has the time too the shot been changed for a penalty? Didn't seem like McKenzie took overly long there but the ref told him to kick twice

    Madness from Mackenzie



  • Registered Users Posts: 2,248 ✭✭✭theVersatile


    60 seconds always for a penalty. Ref counted 20 and 10 seconds left. DM has no excuse



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,728 ✭✭✭CMcsporty


    no no it is ridiculous

    Get a load of the SA match later

    Ear bleed

    For all the clamouring to get Razor into the top job, that was a pretty mediocre start. Aside from a couple of moments, NZ looked pretty ordinary, and England's defense dealt with them fairly handy. I know it's early days, but I've always thought the expectation of what he'll be able to do as head coach could be unrealistic.



  • Hosted Moderators Posts: 8,081 ✭✭✭fitz


    Was mental hearing the commentary saying how great it was that the ref didn't count it down cause it wasn't his job... throughout the game he'd been giving 10 or 20 second warnings, and he did so again there. McKenzie either didn't hear him or thought he'd be let off with it. Either way, inexcusable from him, needs to be more aware of the clock.

    Fair enough maybe ot having the time on screen threw me off a bit. Agreed on DM he had no excuse

    Im not liking the articles the last day or 2 in SA news. You would wonder whose side they are on, getting into the SA team's heads more than anything I would imagine.

    "World champs out to beat the one team in whose head they've never been"

    "Loftus Test flyhalf duel: Be wary, the stats tease and deceive"

    "Bok skipper Kolisi back in Test cauldron with Irish showdown: 'The only team we havent beaten'"

    "An Irish monkey on his back: Double World Cup winner Erasmus seeks first triumph over Ireland"

    "Boks vs Ireland: Battle between number one and two feels like an ambush waiting to happen"

    Win or lose, brandy and coke will flow and im lighting the braai at half time and throwing some rump steaks on when the game is done.

    To be fair though, that all black squad only been together for 10 days. Great test though, looking forward to SA and the Irish next

    The aussie no7 santa hat is very distracting.

    Is the Ireland game on any free to air channel?

    Wales' discipline is crap. Think they're up to 7 conceded in 19 minutes? All for not rolling away and offside.



  • Hosted Moderators Posts: 8,081 ✭✭✭fitz


    There's a yellow on the way, and it looks like Australia will punish them when it comes.



  • Hosted Moderators Posts: 8,081 ✭✭✭fitz


    Love seeing the yellow given despite the try being scored. Too often the try means cynical play/card warnings get a pass.



  • Registered Users Posts: 12,586 ✭✭✭✭AdamD


    Have the commentators completely missed the yellow card?



  • Registered Users Posts: 17,140 ✭✭✭✭Clegg


    Now Australia have decided that their national pasttime is conceding penalties.



  • Registered Users Posts: 3,095 ✭✭✭Brief_Lives


    i don't think so..

    Sat Jul 6 4pm South Africa v Ireland Sky Sports Main Event & Action / Super Sport



  • Registered Users Posts: 17,140 ✭✭✭✭Clegg


    Australian commentator hyping up the SA/Ireland match by referencing all the talk coming from both camps.

    It's genuinely coming from just one camp.



  • Hosted Moderators Posts: 8,081 ✭✭✭fitz


    Yeah, daft. I don't think I've heard our camp as quiet in a long time, tbh. It's bizarre that people are buying into Rassie's bullsh*t.
