[RWC2023] Ireland vs Tonga (16/09/2023)

Yeah this is gonna be a cricket score,
Tonga have no answers, Hansen basically moonwalking past half their defence to score by the posts

 

[McTallshort]

Yeah that was good

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Decent

**** ROG

 

[TRF_Olyy]

6 defenders beaten, mad

No wrap in the tackle on Keenan?

This was starting to look like a really good game, but I feel it might be getting away from Tonga now.

Also of interest, even in the amateur era (never mind now), Ireland lost less often to Tier Two teams than did Wales and Scotland. (Mind you, they do have the dubious distinction of being the only Tier One nation besides Italy to lose to Namibia!)

24/6 would be a terrible score in cricket to be fair.

The body language of Tonga tells me they've given up already. They're just itching for half time.

And were it the All Blacks playing Tonga, it would also be a terrible score in rugby.

 

[Tooting Carmen]

BP already! Take note, Wales.

What's this weird thing the Irish are doing of putting the ball on the ground after the white line?

Yeah that off the ball tackle on Lowe really changed the game.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Who had Sexton top try scorer for the comp?

Speaking of whom, which of the two teams has the most people born in NZ?

There's more than one way to skin a cat, they say.

Sexton used up his yearly smile scoring that, what's he gonna do if Ireland win the cup?

Don't worry, they won't.
