    A few decisions gone against us already



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,801 ✭✭✭✭sligeach


    Hopefully perform to the best of their ability. And no silly red cards, I'm looking at you Bundee Aki.

    Three penalties conceded inside three minutes and Andrew Porter has been responsible for two of them

    Barnes at it within 2 bloody minutes.

    NZ getting all of the benefits from Wayne Barnes so far. Not a good start for us if you're wearing green.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 598 ✭✭✭mark_jmc


    F off barnes



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,972 ✭✭✭✭Clegg

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,807 ✭✭✭✭Larbre34

    Berne harshly done there.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,801 ✭✭✭✭sligeach


    That's a harsh penalty. Beirne couldn't roll away.

    Harsh penalty. Great play from New Zealand to carry through that many phases.

    Ireland MONSTROUS in contact. Hope that's a sign of what's to come.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,906 ✭✭✭Dr. Bre


    That was some defensive by Ireland

    We're not going to get anything off Barnes.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,433 ✭✭✭John arse


    Yeah Wayne Barnes gives me the creeps!!!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,122 ✭✭✭Shehal


    We defended that well for that long and Barnes pings us for something as soft as that?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 464 ✭✭Iamabeliever


    NZ seem to be sealing off theajority of those rucks



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,395 ✭✭✭✭Furze99


    Barnes.................



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,801 ✭✭✭✭sligeach


    It's only fair we got a penalty there.

    That's a great position for us to get 5 points. Come on lads.



  • Posts: 2,457 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    We're making a lot of errors



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 565 ✭✭✭Dont Be at It


    We're a wee bit nervy



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 56,647 ✭✭✭✭tayto lover


    That ref never seems to give Ireland much.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,098 ✭✭✭✭Kermit.de.frog


    3 points thrown away



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 929 ✭✭✭Mr Disco


    Very troubling start from Ireland



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 37,222 ✭✭✭✭SlickRic




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,045 ✭✭✭cheese sandwich
