    Ref is giving SA incredibly generous calls with those jackals.

    Referee tells off Gus McCarthy for questioning his penalty only decision.

    Ten seconds later he's told by the TMO to review his call. And awards a yellow.

    Some kick from Prendergast.

    From inside his own half to 8 metres out.

    where is the traditional ginge in the Irish team? Team looks positively Scandinavian in certain positions.

    game on a knife edge.

    Referee should be reviewing the deliberate knock on too.

    Soaked up a lot of attack in the first half, made mistakes on exits and had very little territory or possession but winning at HT is a great performance.

    Playing against 16 here without question. Some incredible calls in that half. We have the power game to play into the wind in the second half as long as we're not whistled off the park in the process.

    The name of the stadium is Athlone Sports Stadium. Surely it’s a sign…

    Literally the first time I've ever seen a ref call a defending team for collapsing an open field maul.

    Referee picking up where he left off. No balance. Every advantage given to the home team.

    Was that clearance not blatantly carried back into 22?

    They are allot more comfortable and they aren’t getting any good ball thanks to the Irish forwards.

    Ireland need this game to slow down and get pens for set piece to stay in this game
