Ireland v Australia - 2nd test, how the expected starting XVs compare.

Beechwoodspark

That’s a try surely

Hurrache

Jesus Christ, I'd like to see that again if it's a double movement.

Squidgy Black

For f*ck sake.

How many times can they be offside and not get a card for it? That close to the line too?

And just as I ask..

Gidea

And no card again for a obvious penalty on the line

Dave_The_Sheep

Who is our captain here? Needs to get in the refs face more about a cynical offside there.

No yellow? Not double checking if held?

fitz

Was he held there??

Bridge93

Earls had to give that out

yosser hughes

should be a yellow there . Ref IS riding us

Pushed off again using his knees. Correct call, similar to the one earlier by France.

Chex LeMeneux

Don't think he was held. Agree with Quinlan on the YC tho

But he has to warn them first....or something

Ref absolutely bottled that. Yellow all day long.

ScrubsfanChris

Was no try but Jesus that’s a yellow card all day. A no arms tackle missed as well before that.

Buer

Absolutely have to score here or Oz will take a huge lift.

Yeah, saw that in the replay, didn't see it in real time.

POM, exactly why Sexton should be captain. POM leads by example but he needs to be more up front with the ref

POM, usually no shrinking violet, so not sure why he's being so quiet

Sorry. That was meant to say "another ref is again screwing over Ireland" :pac:

vienne86

I think that was grounded.

We've sacrificed points to go for trys and messed up time and again.

Sometimes you just have to build a lead rather than going for the knockout blow.

PhlegmyMoses

How can you keep calling advantage on their line like that without a Yellow??

Hurrache

Another advantage in the line, has to be a yellow coming up.

its_phil

If he got that, wow. As good a finish as Earls will ever have and he’s had some special ones

umop episdn

Ref was about to give it... and then goes upstairs..

Clegg

Oz have given away so many penalties the ref must be booking one of them.

PhlegmyMoses

That is a try. Actually **** off

Squidgy Black

Foot was in, but think he didn't have control going down.

yosser hughes

Should be a yellow here whether we get the try or not
