I've a feeling we're just pissing them off and they're going to shortly tear us to sheds but I'm enjoying this so far.

Owens can see through the invisibility cloaks

whiny cheat

Franks was in front of the hindmost foot, blocking Irish defenders from charging the scrummie's kick.

well done Sexton...awesome half back pairing

Get those pricks up off the ground to stop our quick ...

thank you.

hes not part of the ruck, therefore offside and interfering with play. penalty

But as I said above, how were the offside? They were clearly a foot or so behind the ruck.

ahhhh balls

Smith delivering like Karl Malone.

Go Thomson. Quick ball and drive between the defenders before they are set

Jesus, can you imagine the black eyes kiwi wives are going to be given after this one

Need Shaggy for those defensive kickoffs.

For fuck sake put Kearney up against Read at those kick offs.

Why all the ref whinging already, he's doing fine

dumb by Best - he couldn't help it though. Fair penalty.

Suckening.

The last 20 mins will see at lest 2 NZ tries.
They won't panic and will win by a couple of tries at least

Enz,, you too old to watch rugby, the game is being too fast and complicated these days for your glasses. Maybe having a walk on the sea front would be better.

The ruck had finished the instant the scrumhalf took it out, at which point the player who were all onside at all times, don't have any obligation to get out of the way. Pillars are players who are right on, if not past the hindmost foot of the ruck, stopping defenders coming around...this was not the same.

Will the bottles start flying before half time?

You actually think Ireland are going to win?

didnt think that was knocked on

Kearney doesn't like that knock-on call. I don't like it either.

Ireland #8 stayed beside OUR last foot as a pillar there.

Where is the consistency Nige?

whinge whinge whinge

Ferg

The handling tonight has been appalling from both sides...

Jeff

Be careful or Insane_Homer will flood the thread with video and stills in sequence to prove he was correct

Jesus Christ McFadden was shitting himself there

Enz

Smith was playing the ball on the ground earlier. The crowd is getting to the ref now.

Fergus you lucky lucky boy

Fuck off - Ireland?? Quick??

They have a funny ref is all

+1 Doing a fine job!

penalty surely

DC looks pretty calm

Well if they get within 15 points, I'm still getting my punch on.

THat's just a Welsh accent.
