Strange version of Ireland's call by the band

Gmaximum

It’s no Rose of Tralee at least

StevenToast

That Irelands call was a shambles

martingriff

That version of Irish Call was so slow people had sung it 4 times

Azatadine

That was painfully slow......put everything out of sync. On purpose?

Macdarack

Jesus christ .I didn't think you could make Irelands call worse !

rodge123

Worst performance of Irelands call I’ve ever heard…it’s like they slowed it down on purpose, no sign of them slowing down the Italian one equally.

fitz

Proper sh*t-housing by the band, playing Ireland's Call at half-tempo.

SaoPaulo41

Really hope Byrne goes well, am worried about Aki getting a red

degsie

Disrespectful from the band. No excuse for that!

sligeach

WTF was that!? The slowest tempo version ever of Ireland's Call. Nobody could sing along to that. The Italians didn't do that to their own anthem.

It's like someone didn't do their homework or care to check.

Didn't touch it down ,pity

Italian players belting it out, half our lads not singing or chewing gum

Clegg

That's a great tackle from Capuozzo. Lowe couldn't ground with two hands because he had to fend.

fitz

No full separation, but could go either way here.

Clegg

That's a fantastic response from Ireland

fitz

Lovely try. Ominous for Italy here.

sligeach

A minute later and Ireland and have the try this time in the same corner.

awec

We’re going to batter them.

CIARAN_BOYLE

Well first try disallowed but that doesn't stop them with a second as James Ryan scores.

LostArt

We're going to win this by 25+

Clegg

Aki has been involved in everything good Ireland has done. Put VDF away for Lowe's disallowed try and offloaded to Lowe for Ryan's try.

ClanofLams

Aki has no hands myth getting exposed again.

CMcsporty

Henderson packing down at 5

Clegg

That's great from Italy. Troubling that Ireland were incapable of slowing down their ball at the ruck.

SaoPaulo41

That was brutal defense by Ireland.Why did Bryne not just find a simple touch

leakyboots

Awful clearance from Byrne before that

awec

mixup between aki and Lowe

sligeach

Very poor from Ireland. But that advantage from the referee to Ireland didn't give us any advantage.

CMcsporty

Bundee got caught out of position there I think

missed tackle also
