Serenity Now!

The centres are going to be in for a busy time.
I think Samoa are a step too far to wish for.

A 6pm kickoff is bloody ridiculous. I don't know how they expect people to be able to get out of work and out to Paramatta for 6, without taking time off.

Think the timing of the games involving many of the so-called 'lesser' teams is an issue. As this competition has proved many of the most competitive and enjoyable games have involved teams outside the 'big three'...not least our own clash against Tonga. Poor on the part of the RLWC organisers...

amacachi

Any chance of adding spoilers to the title?

Video ref got the first two decisions right, dunno what the sky commentators are on about.

amacachi

Get in! Come on lads!

amacachi

**** me, this is gettin scary!

Xavi6

:eek:

Come on the boys! Superb stuff

amacachi

Really hope I'm not settin meself up for a big disappointment. I'm ****in buzzin right now.

One Cold Hand

Why the need for spoilers? is this not a match thread?

14-0 ireland. Seem to be doing well from the terrible stream I'm watching

Xavi6

FFS that was ridiculous. You could see it happening as soon as the Garryowen went up

Xavi6

I don't see the need for spoilers btw. Anyone not watching live shouldn't be looking in here anyway if they don't want to see the score.

One Cold Hand

Yup disappointing

amacachi

Grand so.

FFS, will someone tell the irish lads to get the ****ing ball out when it's in the in-goal area. Between this game and the Tonga match that's 3 tries they've lost through sheer stupidity.

Wayne Kerr on!

Xavi6

Lol got away with that there!

amacachi

Heh, can't believe the irish lad got away with kickin at the play-the-ball.

FFS Ireland need to be ready for contested scrums. I thought they would've learned that from the Tonga match.

Xavi6

FFS stupid forward pass

amacachi

****sake, no need even for a flat pass there.

Challenge their ****in scrum lads!

Xavi6

And now offside 5 metres out. This is not good

Xavi6

Great defence there!

amacachi

Some great defending at times from Ireland.

amacachi

Jesus Xavi get out of my mind :P

'The Great One' as they're calling him on the Aussie commentary!

amacachi

****in T R Y.

Xavi6

Ah Christ. That came from a stupid penalty we gave away in their half on the 4th tackle. Stupid.

amacachi

Stupid mistakes costing us, just like against Tonga.

amacachi

Are high tackles allowed in the World Cup?

Xavi6

Those 2 points will help if we can keep it like this til the half.

Xavi6

HT 16-12

amacachi

The Sky lads are sayin Ireland need to win by 6, I thought 5 would be enough with the try difference?

Xavi6

Setanta said 6 as well

amacachi

Forward at the end there. But that's what I call a power play

Xavi6

Another try! Come on!

Xavi6

22-12 but Samoan ball in dangerous area after another error.

amacachi

Didn't think he was held up there.

Xavi6

This defence is unbelievable!!!

crisco10

How long is left?

Xavi6

25 mins or so

amacachi

Ouch.

About 25 left.

Xavi6

YOU FUCKING HERO!!!!!!!!!!!!

This better not be chalked off

amacachi

Looked like a knock-on to begin with, but benefit of the doubt...

Xavi6

Ah gay

Xavi6

Whatever happens here the spirit shown by the team is unbelievable. They are so up for this. Fantastic to see.

amacachi

Dirty fat ****. Break his legs the dirty ****.

ON REPORT! ****IN BULL****!

Xavi6

Dirty prick! Shoulda walked for that

Xavi6

24-12 with 17 to go.

That wanker should've been gone for that elbow. Disgraceful.

crisco10

finally got the stream from justin.tv going.

24-12. 15 mins to go! c'mon ireland!

amacachi

That Solomona **** is the dirtiest ****er I've seen play. Next time he's near a ruck he should get a knee or a kick in the face.

Xavi6

Great stream here -

26-12

Richards' kicking has been great in the second half.

amacachi

Does Richards have any concept of power when kicking the ball?

crisco10

26-12. 12 minutes to go. could it really happen?
