[June Tests 2018: 1st Test] Australia vs. Ireland (09/06/2018)

[All Black]

Oz 16 is a big unit

Taniela Tupou was tipped to be the next big thing in NZ but we wanted to bring him up slowly where Aussie promised him big bucks straight away. Hes quite quick and powerful too

 

[TRF_Olyy]

They discussed going for posts wwaayy too long then,
The tee should've been on before the ref stopped blowing his whistle

Ireland look tired maybe their players are playing too much?.........

They should be all fresh.
No surprise it is Furlong who got mullered there. He probably has highest minutes of all forwards in tight 5

Tupou's at 18. They do look very similar though

Maybe internationals are a higher quality than Europe.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Hmmmmm. Don't agree with that peno.

 

[TommiG88]

The Irish commentator is getting on my nerves.

Oh no, I thought Tupou was at 16.

 

[big ginger 8]

2 Australians flipped over Stockdale but apparently on their feet and Stockdale didn't release?

 

[Aristodemus]

Folau is ridiculously good under the high ball, almost seems unfair.

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Wrong decision er what? Yeah he let go of the ball AFTER he decided to wriggle out from the bottom of the ruck, which is definitely not legal.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

There was obstruction there.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Tap and go is an interesting decision.....

Which pays off!

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Schmidt will be worried if going into the RWC Ringrose is injured obvious lack of cover there unless someone is coming up who I have forgotten about.

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Vindicated. Try Wallabies.

 

[Amiga500]

Better team looking set to win.

Certainly a real reset of just where we are in the wider picture and in the context of the world cup next year.

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Larmour is the pick up king

 

[Not Mike Brown's Sock]

You all have no idea how happy this makes me!

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Tadhg f***ing Furlong

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

That's ********. Definite penalty.
