Miggeldy is a gas man.

kuang1 · 24-11-2018 7:26pm

Ireland by 29

fitz · 24-11-2018 7:28pm

Garda band want to get out of the cold as quickly as possible.

chupacabra · 24-11-2018 7:29pm

Looking forward to seeing what Addison can do with space

bilston · 24-11-2018 7:31pm

These guys are unbeaten this year?

It mightn't be a walk in the park

Boscoirl · 24-11-2018 7:31pm

Monstrosity of a jersey!

Cockford Ollie · 24-11-2018 7:31pm

Why are France playing?

24-11-2018 7:33pm

If we'd worn this jersey the first time we played under Joe there would have been uproar !

bilston · 24-11-2018 7:33pm

Lovely feet by Ruddock!

dublinman1990 · 24-11-2018 7:33pm

Andrew Conway has the 1st try. Nice.

fitz · 24-11-2018 7:33pm

Filthy step from Ruddock.

vienne86 · 24-11-2018 7:34pm

Ruddock made that - nicely finished by Conway.

Dave_The_Sheep · 24-11-2018 7:34pm

Lovely score, but Conway should have been emptied as he passed to Ruddock.

mangobob · 24-11-2018 7:35pm

Great stuff from Ruddock.

Clegg · 24-11-2018 7:36pm

That's lovely from Ruddock. He's a brilliant player in the unenviable position of competing with POM.

Clegg · 24-11-2018 7:40pm

Wow

mangobob · 24-11-2018 7:40pm

Yikes

Cockford Ollie · 24-11-2018 7:40pm

Heaslip talks too much, and talks over the referee.

mangobob · 24-11-2018 7:42pm

This US team is looking pretty decent.

Mookie Blaylock · 24-11-2018 7:43pm

Foot was in touch after the lineout?

bilston · 24-11-2018 7:43pm

Surely the pass from the 9 had to have been forward?

dublinman1990 · 24-11-2018 7:43pm

The U.S. now have a try.

We're now at 7 points each.

mangobob · 24-11-2018 7:43pm

They should be ahead.

vienne86 · 24-11-2018 7:44pm

Video review of that will be painful for Ireland. Caught napping.

Clegg · 24-11-2018 7:44pm

Ryan missed the tackle and the next player didn't hold it.

They're gone.

Certainly looked like it.

Former Former · 24-11-2018 7:44pm

Very poor attempted tackle by Bealham for the try.

Looked it to me.

scott1974 · 24-11-2018 7:45pm

Was that pass not forward for USA try?

antodeco · 24-11-2018 7:45pm

Anybody know why we are playing in Blue? Is it just to sell more jerseys?

Lackey · 24-11-2018 7:47pm

Niiiceeee

dublinman1990 · 24-11-2018 7:47pm

Conway 2 for 2 in try count after that lovely offload from Addison.

fitz · 24-11-2018 7:47pm

Lovely flick from Addison.

Hurrache · 24-11-2018 7:47pm

Makes the team play better as they think they're Leinster. It's an ingenious plan really.

First thought was trying to replicate Leinster!

24-11-2018 7:49pm

Lovely pass from Addison but tiny bit risky right on the try line, probably could have just moved the ball.

PhlegmyMoses · 24-11-2018 7:50pm

Hopefully that passing from Mccloskey improves

bilston · 24-11-2018 7:51pm

Henderson got smacked in the head there. I wouldn't be surprised if that's him done

BBDBB · 24-11-2018 7:52pm

We aren’t showing the opposition enough respect, (ok it’s a nothing game we will probably win very comfortably) but trying to run out from your own 22 tends to work when the opposition aren’t expecting it. Too predictable at the moment, we need to spend time in their 22 and earn the right to run in tries

razorblunt · 24-11-2018 7:52pm

Heaslip struggling with the names.

Yeah, looked like there was a shoulder to the head at the ruck. Thought the TMO would call it.

BBDBB · 24-11-2018 7:54pm

Penalty try and a man in the bin

Hurrache · 24-11-2018 7:54pm

In fairness I didn't say what decade Leinster team!

Early yet, should still saunter it.

Clegg · 24-11-2018 7:54pm

Well most of this pack will be on Joe's sh1t list.

munsterlegend · 24-11-2018 7:54pm

Cooney’s exit kicks are awful. Why kick straight to touch and give them a platform.

PhlegmyMoses · 24-11-2018 7:54pm

No issue with pen try and yellow, but refs are so inconsistent with that

24-11-2018 7:55pm

USA look well coached. Discipline good and holding their shape with and without ball. I'd say these lads would do Italy.

Hurrache · 24-11-2018 7:55pm

Well he is for 10 minutes anyway.

vienne86 · 24-11-2018 7:55pm

Joe will be fuming about this.

Was just thinking the same thing. This is serious test of our depth here.
