[November Tests 2016 EOYT] Ireland vs. Australia (26/11/2016)

[Makos]

Could be a red

No way haha!

The Irish player was already angled towards the ground, Mumm lifted his leg and gravity did the rest.


Hard to see Aus coming back from this.

 

[Groundhog]

A card for that?
For all their whinging about the all blacks the Irish get a ridiculous amount of home town calls

Jesus stooooop man

I agree it shouldn't be a red. Just basing it on previous scenarios but right call all over.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Irish player just pulled Hooper over the ruck and he landed on his face.
Surely that's a yellow/potential red, then?

Come on that was a yellow all day.

 

[munstermuffin]

100% agree the ref and more so Owens got it bang on.
Just a big need for clarification on the law.

On seperate note is Furlong the most agile TH prop we have ever had for Ireland.

Carberry at 15 Zebo to wing

 

[Bruce_ma gooshvili]

Oz really missing Kerevi and Ashley-Cooper. They'll still have a period where they create a try out of not very much. Horrible luck for Ireland to have to make these adjustments in the backs. Not convinced Carbery is best option at fullback with Payne and Zebo on the park.

 

[Bada-Bing!]

1st try for Ringrose.

 

[munstermuffin]

Ringrose you worm.
Seriously some may argue Schmidt is discovering some guys by luck but my god he's seeing we have exciting talent that's needed out there.

 

[Bruce_ma gooshvili]

Great stuff. Ireland again exceeding my expectations. 20 points will probably be enough; was expecting a low scorer.

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Bad missed tackles from Rory Arnold, Dean Mumm...

 

[Makos]

Prepare yourself for the Cheika excuses, deflecting everything towards the ref and TMO decisions instead of just admitting his team can't defend or score tries.

 

[profitius]

Ffs Jackson. Game on again

 

[Bruce_ma gooshvili]

It's just bizarre how Oz can consistently score tries off limited possession. They do it almost every game.

 

[munstermuffin]

In fairness great execution for the try. Certainly keeps our guys on feet now.
Carberry has nice step and pace. Add in pace on both his wings if they get chances this could get fun

Complete opposite to us!


10 points up for all the dominance is worrying for the second half.

I'll be brutally honest, your backs are pretty bad.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

I think we'll score at least 10 points by 55mins. Farrell has reason to chew them out now.

 

[munstermuffin]

I'd say our backs today that 1st half have been good. Earls and Zebo making great gains. Ringrose is showing his class. Carberry is showing he has talent but also a right level confidence and cockiness to go with it.
Lack of backs on bench will possibly be issue. But imagine bow in last 20 and lads like a ****** off Dillane and POM. Healy.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Wouldn't say bad, we just lack pace. A lot less effective without Henshaw.
