[RWC2019][Quarter-Final 2] New Zealand vs. Ireland (19/10/2019)

[Bruce_ma gooshvili]

Is Ireland dog legging on defense intentional? They’re inviting New Zealand to carve them up.

The space they are willing to offer is... unusual.

 

[corny]

The only inquest will be whether Ireland were crap from the start or if the head knocks to the centres knocked them off their stride. Pretty irrelevant really. Looking every inch the side that was so meek against Japan for 60mins.

Its nothing to do the head injuries in fairness. The mistakes have been widespread. Our wingers have been absolutely terrible so far. WC pressure. We don't handle it.

 

[Leinster Fan]

Best outcome for everyone involved might be to shake hands and end this now.

Ringrose high tackle/neck roll was a yellow for me, if that was a big dark guy on a small white it would have been a red, double standards!!

Well you’d like to think it was only when Earls was drafted inside but...

Reece just treated Garry like he does his missus!

 

[dullonien]

Murray's kicking is terrible. Handing the NZ back three ball with loads of space ain't sensible.

 

[OwenPB]

Did someone change the rules on hitting the kicker?

 

[Leinster Fan]

Ouch that looked painful for Sexton's leg.

Edit: no problem with it though to be clear, Cane was committed.

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Will it be checked?

 

[Leinster Fan]

It was nice knowing you guys.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Why did sexton give that pass?

Unless it was knocked loose in the contact?

 

[General Melchett]

Time to put up the England v NZ match thread mods

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

Clearly angus Gardner’s fault

 

[Bruce_ma gooshvili]

Pfft. This level of performance from Ireland would have been unthinkable 2 years ago. Utterly unthinkable.

 

[dullonien]

Oh dear Sexton

 

[ncurd]

Pfft. This level of performance from Ireland would have been unthinkable 2 years ago. Utterly unthinkable.

More like 1 last autumn internationals they looked great.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

What is Owens on about?

This is a try

 

[big ginger 8]

Three times we've ****** up in their 22 and they've scored. The difference in accuracy levels is stupid.
