    Seriously. St Joe fanclub, Schmidtlings, Schmidt out-brigade etc. It's impossible to have reasonable discussion when posters throw around passive aggressive labels like these.

    It's the Internet. Name calling passes as debate here and if you talk facts and the other guy calls you a name he's clearly won. Cos it's the Internet. Normal rules don't apply.

    Anyway, I'm really excited for this game. I don't know what to expect from SA and only think I know what to expect from Ireland. There's a real element of uncertainty around how both teams will play.

    In many ways we're up against it away from home with all those injuries and absentees. But we've still got a good starting XV.

    I think we should expect a good game from Jackson today. With 3 of his Ulster teammates in the backline there shouldn't be much rust. I do expect us to cover the 'cap (+15 last I checked) but a win is a big ask. There's a lot of quality missing from the 23.

    I think we'll lose by 10-15, I think it's a poor side that has been selected, I think guys lie Jackson, Marshall and Murphy aren't up to it at this level...I am looking forward to be proven wrong

    This could be anything at all really!
    I'm hoping it'll be a one score game though.

    Murphy has found some form towards the end of the season, albeit patchy. But he does worry me too.
    I think PJ will be fine.
    Marshall...I dunno...he could impress us all or sh1te all over the pitch.

    14 minutes to go!

    He does.
    It's like... go-faster-hair.

    Murphy is a solid option who's coming back into form after a few bad months. He's grand, never going to the first name on the teamsheet but won't let you down either.

    Marshall is still a bit of an unknown at this level but he's a cracking player.

    Jackson is class, I think this series could be the making of him tbh.

    What is it with south africa always wearing trackies when they take the field?

    I'd agree with this. He's really very, very good and it's a shame he hasn't gotten much of a look in so far.

    Getting close to ligind status. Perhaps he will join my Ligind list of Hayes, Neil Francis and Fernandez Lobbe.

    McGrath just got lifted by the smallest bloke on the pitch :pac:

    If Toner found a cure for cancer you'd praise him though right? :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,847 ✭✭✭✭bilston


    FFS that was pretty dumb. Although I've seen scrum halves given a lot longer than that to put the ball in.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,442 ✭✭✭its_phil


    That's so stupid by Murray

    When you have to put the ball in the scrum and you suddenly have to stop to think whether or not you left the immersion on back home

    How did de Jaager get through so easily at that lineout?


  • Registered Users Posts: 24,767 ✭✭✭✭molloyjh


    Terrible miss.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,668 ✭✭✭Mahatma Geansai


    Henderson poor with the attempted clearout there.


  • Registered Users Posts: 24,258 ✭✭✭✭Buer


    Clearly not supporting weight.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,442 ✭✭✭its_phil


    Seriously poor clear outs so far, very slow


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,525 ✭✭✭kilns


    Ross flying into the tackles!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,847 ✭✭✭✭bilston


    The referee seems really nervous or something


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,884 ✭✭✭✭mfceiling


    Off his feet? He was like fcuking superman coming in there.

    A penalty every 2 minutes? Wonder how long before they get a card?


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,525 ✭✭✭kilns


    need to get some points on the board after this dominance


  • Registered Users Posts: 24,767 ✭✭✭✭molloyjh


    Henshaw knocked on?


  • Registered Users Posts: 24,258 ✭✭✭✭Buer


    Were we told to use that because if we weren't that should never have left the maul.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,150 ✭✭✭✭LuckyGent88


    Superb start anyway. Definite try at least


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,668 ✭✭✭Mahatma Geansai


    Nice work by Marshall. Great to have a ball-playing 12.
