[ruggabee]

So O'Mahony playing the openside role with Ruddock playing blindside?

Presumably, although it looks like Ruddock will be wearing 7. Just completely conforming to the 'boks...

Hah it would seem that way. Feeling a bit of dread now that's happened.

 

[Groundhog]

George Hook going wildly off topic to get political and discuss the Player Quota in SA. You don't get this stuff on the BBC boys!

Probably correct. POM performs a lot of 7 duties anyway so hopefully won't be too much. Wouldn't worry too much about Ruddock either or TOD. Hope the lads in the centre can do the business.

 

[RWC2011Fan]

How come the players didn't meet the president like usual?

 

[Groundhog]

Silly Kearney you goose! Poor Garryowen. Looks like we were all right about throwing up high balls for our backline of 15's.

 

[big ginger 8]

PO'C easing Cronin into the game with two throws to the tail...

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Irish forwards confirmed for wet lettuces.


Great call from Poite.

 

[Groundhog]

Not a penalty.

 

[big ginger 8]

Who are these people making noise in the crowd during a kick and where do they live?

 

[Peat]

Nice match so far.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Le Roux is a joy to watch, going forward.
One of the best attacking FBs in the game.


Edit: Whaaaaat that's a terrible penalty call. Union should bring in the "played at" rule, like in League.
The knocked on ball hit a SA player in the back of the head, how is he supposed to know/get out of the way of it?

 

[Groundhog]

Utter Kearnage. Willie le Who? (I'm so sorry)

 

[big ginger 8]

Gwan Rob.

 

[Jaguares]

I'm watching: "Argentina-Scotland". So... how is Ireland's performance? They have a chance of winning?

 

[Peat]

Utter Kearnage. Willie le Who? (I'm so sorry)

So I can't rep you again so quickly, but I should be able to...

 

[big ginger 8]

Ah that should have been our penalty.

Ballsy from SA.

And now it seems stupid.

EDIT: We've been lucky a few times but Poite needs to do JdP for binding on the arm...

 

[Peat]

I know the Saffas like to grouse about Pienaar, and I'm not saying they don't have reasons, but I don't think I've seen him be as bad as Hougaard has been this half...

 

[big ginger 8]

We've defended their maul quite smartly.
