is it fair to say that Ireland aren't actually playing that well?

Yip

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Nice try.

Lovely finish.

Paddy The Hulk Jackson though gets what he gave.

 

[TheOvalBall]

Nice try Combrinck, but this is what i can't stand about modern rugby. Le Roux beat a hooker and a prop on the outside. WTF are they doing there ? Where are the backline players who supposed to defend that line ?

Think Ireland might have PSDT.

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Come on Ireland, what are you doing?!

 

[Jaguares]

What a try!!! Beast mode, baby!

 

[Aristodemus]

SA this half actually look like SA. Great comeback but it's cruel for Ireland.

 

[Cruz_del_Sur]

Wow indeed. Nice comeback

 

[Rockradar]

De Allende power! I knewd they'd win but Geez Ireland played well.

 

[TheOvalBall]

4 tries to two. Yip. That deserves a win.

 

[Superalexmarket]

Playing like bulldozers in the 2nd half, old SA style!!

 

[profitius]

Some game to lose. A deserved loss. Couldn't tackle their mothers after 50 min.

 

[TRF_stormer2010]

This game after Racing also leaves it till the end of extra time.. I'm going to bed now.

 

[Rockradar]

Game of the weekend.

 

[Ka_Mate]

Finally they utilize the Lions players..

Strauss is a really nice guy and well spoken.

Pretty pleased to see South Africa return to some form in that 2nd half, I was really concerned there for their sake. Still have some major issues, but at least the Lions guys are proving their worth in the set up.

Wow, im really glad for the Boks, I didn't put that much attention to the game, in the first half it looked as boring as the 1st test, SA looked really lame in the first half, but, when Warren and Ruan entered in the field everything changed, both reignited the passion in the rest of the teammates. I wish that Jaco gets a chance in the 3rd test, SA can't keep this kind of players out the team, just look how much can they change by putting the top performers in the pitch.

As for Ireland, were very soft, the number 10 was useless on defense, i know that the situations weren't easy, but he did nothing at all, i dont know him, so this might be just a shocker. De Allende's try was soft as ****, the 9 was ok, but the "support tackling"....., i dont know how to describe it.

They've gone from defending like Spartans one week to soft the next week. Obviously the altitude played a major part in it.
