[ratsapprentice]

Twattish from Murray.

 

[TommiG88]

Twattish from Murray.

Must have been close to see a yellow.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

We'll beat this lot 2-1.

 

[big ginger 8]

This is frustrating, confident of a win with starters from...the start.

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Ha shut up Murray, doesn't matter if it's against you, you don't get gobby like that.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Twattish from Murray.

Twattish from the ref too tbf.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

To be fair winning a 6N grandslam and then winning a series away in Australia 3-0 is unheard of,
It'd take a pretty special country to do something like that

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

We'll beat this lot 2-1.

Agreed. Healy, Cronin, Furlong, Sexton and in particular Ringrose will make a huge difference coming in to start

2016 England > 2018 Ireland, fact

What did he have to lose? Scrum or penalty, that decision going against us ended our game. Terrible decision from the ref.

Leavy too, him and Ringrose were the biggest losses today.

Dignity?

Oh I thought he was injured. Tbf though Murphy isn't a huge downgrade

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Sexton broken rib?
Stayed down after that hit and he's not moving well

 

[ratsapprentice]

Twattish from the ref too tbf.

Not really, made a mistake.

Asked a player who was being a gobshite to calm down - he didn't, so was told to walk. As he should be.

 

[Fuzzy du Plessis]

From a NH perspective it's a bit of a disappointment that our best team by some distance has looked pretty poor against an Aussie team that was physically up for it but error strewn. That's bread and butter NH rugby.

 

[Thingimubob]

As poor as Ireland have been today, the ref has probably had the worst game out of everyone on the pitch... Fingers crossed he doesn't get a big game anytime soon as he's ruined it a little bit for me as the neutral! Three awful decisions in a row that arguably decided the result.

Completely right to penalise Murray though, but completely see Murray's frustration as it was a blatant pen (and probably a yellow) by the Aussie player...

 

[big ginger 8]

Not as annoyed as I usually would be, good to have Carberry get a start at 10 vs first grade opposition.

Just shite that Ryan's run has come to can end.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Are you ******* serious?

 

[ratsapprentice]

What did he have to lose?

A functioning sport...

That's the same justification that's seen football get into its current state. You cannot have players treating the ref like that.
