[Groundhog]

Gwan the child singing Irelands call haha

The kid sent shivers down my spine even if it is not my anthem.

Bravo, veramente!

 

[ntun82]

And we start with poor kicking

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Apparently when Munster want Craig Casey to do some extra fitness they just put him on an actual hamster wheel

 

[ntun82]

We play touch rugby

Lovely patient phase play.

 

[Groundhog]

Great variation Crowley. Nice try nice shape and tempo.

 

[Jimbo]

The ball in hand threats Ireland have is insane!

 

[munstermuffin]

Joe McCarthy is a physical beast but that hair style is his best attribute by a mile

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Both teams had a gentleman's agreement pre-game to kick like spanners

 

[big ginger 8]

Looks like the director has been watching a bit too much Top14.

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

I'd say Lowe was tackled before he has the ball there. Marginal but the defender meets him just before the ball does.

 

[munstermuffin]

Nervy start off of us

 

[ntun82]

They are Ireland and I do not expect to win, but we can play much better than this

 

[ntun82]

Forza ragazzi

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

I don't find caterpillar rucks as grating as some do but the Irish are fully just on hands and knees in a lot of these. Can surely be pinged for not supporting their weight at the ruck?

Whatever about the 10s Lowe usually has a bomb and his kick was buy iffy too. It's like balls are flat

 

[big ginger 8]

Ref is actually Olyy with his refusal to allow a choke tackle.

 

[ntun82]

Varney, mamma Mia

I'm not as short (or handsome) as Pearce
