Don't bother. No matter what team is selected there'll be a snide anti-Munster comment.

Agreed but well if he's going to make stupid comments at least try make it some bit sensible.

Kidney has made calls that were forced on him with the Aus game only 6 days away and there is still alot of injury enforced selections.

 

[Getofmeland]

The Game is just about to Kick Off... Ireland to start!

 

[Tricia McMillan]

Hoping the Eagles can pull a shock for the ages!

Not exactly expecting it to happen, though.

 

[Izzoard]

If anyone knows of a stream can they PM me pls? I've no TV at home and not fancying the pub at this hour.

Cheerz!

 

[Getofmeland]

They are playing some great Rugby at the moment.

27 Mins gone - Ire 3 - 0 USA

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Getting around 3hrs sleep yesterday and then setting an alarm to get up at 3.50am today = turning your alarm off in your sleep and getting up at 7.30 =/

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Bowe finally manages to catch a pass and gets a try for his efforts

 

[Tricia McMillan]

Ireland is pretty dominant in just about every area except the scoreboard.

 

[munstermuffin]

Great to see players like Earls who took alot of stick doing well.
Murray has looked like he is a regular in the side and well our scrum and lineout are going superb. It strange to see us going well in scrum.

Bowe has to get his hands right and adjust.

USA are putting in huge hits and well quicker we wrap up this the better

 

[Jman227]

Clever the usa captain is putting on some huge hits. His haircut just makes him intimidating; he looks like a wwe wrestler haha.

 

[Tricia McMillan]

I could probably kick penalties better than the way Sexton is playing tonight.

 

[Getofmeland]

I am starting to look at questioning the ball...

 

[RugbyOhio]

I know we're pretty fortunate to be only down 10 right now, but this is sure beating expectations!

 

[Jman227]

USA playing really well atm.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Think it's just Sexton having a shocker - apparently the ball's been used a fair bit in the run up to the WC (in the end of year tour and in the warm ups)

 

[TRF_Olyy]

DOC taking out one of the Eagles defenders to let Best through - naughty naughty

 

[Muzzy]

why isn't Mike Hercus playing for the USA

 

[Tricia McMillan]

why isn't Mike Hercus playing for the USA

Why isn't Brian Urlacher playing for the USA?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Why are so many players wearing scrum caps?
I'm sure that Ngwenya and Heaslip don't normally?

 

[monkeypigeon]

This is woefull. Joubert isn't helping either.

Can't blame the USA for ignoring the rules when they can get away with it and in fairness their forwards are actually doing something but they're allowed to go in off their feet from an offside position and they do it alot and it's made a bad game worse.

All the Ireland players have been shite too. Except maybe O'Connell, Ferris, Best, Earls. Bowe's been hot and cold and Reddan's been decent since he came on.





I'll contribute €10 to a trust to fund flying Conor O'Shea to New Zealand now and take over as Ireland Boss right now.
