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

    Should be our penalty
    Klerk never released after the tackle

    Didn't deserve to win mind

    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.

    A dismal referring performance worthy of the Pro 12. :(

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    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.

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

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

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

    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.

    That will hurt but the lads can eventually be proud of breaking the South Africa duck.

    The length of their season plus the injury count was what did them in the end, nothing in particular that South Africa did was the reason, that final few burning inches.

    Faf clearly didn't roll there, how he didn't see that is beyond me. Sickened to lose like that.

    Reddan was like a man possessed there. Pity he couldn't sneak over for a winner.

    6 point margin yet again. Poor enough game. Sloppy, tired stuff from both sides.

    Glen Jackson shouldn't be allowed to ref schoolboy rugby. But Ireland despite the many handicaps did us proud.

    Faf is world class, MOTM. Disappointing to lose the series, thought Ireland were the best side over the 3 tests. Very good heart from the players, so many times I thought we were down and out and they kept coming back.

    Interesting to see how SA fare in the rugby championship to put this into context.
