RWC: Australia - Ireland (17-09-2011 20:30)

Kearney is a bellend - Beale flattened him taking that high ball after though :lol:
 
Have seen BOD defending twice and well he just seems like something not right injury-wise
 
No snoop I not questioning that I'm just saying I hope he not just hanging in there bugged with injury because we need him big time here

Your hope is almost definitley misplaced.

Speaking of injury, Ferris looks not quite right to me as well.
 
We can win this Peat and well our tight 5 especially Best and Ross impressive.
 
Just got home to catch the second half. Saw Genia get thrown around haha. Anybody smashed that chump Cooper yet?!
 
Hopefully Ireland can keep playing like this, unlike Italy who also went into half time at 6-all.

No, but I did see him flatten D'Arcy with a fend early on!


Only positive about Bryce Lawrence is that he's being shocking to both teams, that knock on for Horwill offside was something special though....
Ireland looking strong, but I reckon Aus will run away with it in the second half

Ireland looks like it can actually attack though so they should be able to. Last week Italy only managed to go into the half at 6-all cause of their defense and aussie mistakes, it didn't look like they were able to do anything when they actually had possesion.
 
Line speed in defense has been poor from oz. Just sitting back to get smashed by irish runners giving up easy meters. Forwards need to lift their game, but irish have executed the blueprint to beat Oz well and have missed a couple oppurtunities to shift the ball wide when itwas on.
