Ire v Oz Nov Nineteenth on RTEE 2

Faugheen

Here we go. More prick-acting at the scrum to waste more time.

Sleepy Joseph

VdF MOTM tonight.

Jarhead_Tendler

Never in doubt. Great first kick

Fair play to Ross Byrne for going for it, whatever happens... super kick!!

In fairness to Ross Byrne, he is an excellent place kicker

Doris, no contest

Loafing Oaf

You focking ledge Ross O'Carroll Kelly Byrne

Did the ref rush Byrne there saying 20 seconds left? I did think he was taking an age getting ready.

Mr.Crinklewood

That was excellent.

Now time for some game management.

Faugheen

The stones on Ross Byrne. Fair ****’s to him.

phog

Stupid penalty to give away there

almostover

Some of these not rolling away pens are maddening, sometimes it's just impossible not to be in the way. Surely a scrum to the attacking team if it's not blatant is more sensible?

Xander10

That should be it

fitz

FFS, he's being held upside down in the ruck, how the f*ck is he supposed to roll? And JOB had a perfectly fine turnover there and told to release.

Now, lineout, secure, clear!

As the Referee said he should have reversed the penalty and given a penalty to Ireland.

How come the tackler aways falls on the wrong side

almostover

Brain dead, throw to the back. Moronic

phog

That's it

Lol. How did we win that.

Xander10

Did their best to nearly throw it away

leakyboots

Our lineout is gone to pot since POM went off. We've lost at least 3. Crazy call to go that far to the back there.

Take the win, not a great performance but at least we've blooded another 10 and learned about some of our more fringe players.

ednwireland

win ugly - lot to be said for it !

phog

Piss poor but a win is a win

I think we've seen where Irelands next evolution needs to be. Australia made a meal of the breakdown and Ireland struggled for any sort of attacking platform as a result. They counter rucked brilliantly and JGP was given an awful time tonight.

Yes, we missed Sexton something awful, but I think we would have struggled even with him today. No sort of attacking platform for about 50 minutes.

Fair play for winning however. This was easily one of our worst performances for the last 18 months.

That was a big let off, not pretty at all but i'll take it!

happyoutscan

Phew.

Not pretty at all.

Sometimes you have to grind out a result.
