Bbc covering tonight for those interested.


19:45 - Ireland v England - iPlayer, BBC Sport website and Red Button

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Will catch the first half. Going to be very tough with our injuries v that England pack. 15 games unbeaten streak in the comp will end at that I expect.

 

[Groundhog]

Excited to see gene O'Leary Kareem off the bench. Expect big things from him

interested to see where he comes on.

I don't think he really has played much of anywhere bar centre for school and club! Does some goal kicking too

 

[AlRums]

 

[Which Tyler]

Pitch looks a touch damp in Cork - surely a first!

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

A waterlogged 4g takes wet rain. Rain far wetter than these soft English boys would ever have experienced. Very few places have rain as wet as the rain is in Ireland.

Potential leveller.

 

[Wasps92]

That England 13 has a hell of a leg on him.

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

God we have some big buggers at U20 level.

God we have some big buggers at U20 level.

Not translating to much at the moment though...

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Advantage for a tackle off the ball, Ireland have done that multiple times and plenty of blocking lines.

Jesus Christ 2 awful attempts at tackles, both players not dropping their height.

 

[Wasps92]

Probably 2 red cards in that passage of play.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Don't like booing u20 players.

Would have to question how they're raised in the general area, maybe province, in which that ground is situated.

 

[Which Tyler]

Second one is a soak tackle, so should be low risk and yellow. But no sympathy for either of them if they're both red.


ETA Ahhh... FFS. 20 minute rubbish! Should be 65

Kinder is lucky the ref doesn't want to have another look at his. They're both foul play, so he absolutely could if he wanted to

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

2nd might be a yellow, it looks like it rides up. 1st is a red. Could be game over already due to crap discipline, in other words exactly the same as the seniors.

 

[Geordie]

Oh dear...two down?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

What they're not taking into account is that most of these Irish players are circus freaks whose heads grow out the middle of their chests, so these tackles are actually below the shoulder and legal

 

[Saintjay]

Also the English being giants amongst men he had to bend 8ft to even get near his chest

12. Eoghan Smyth (Cork Constitution FC/Munster)
10. Sam Wisniewski (Old Belvedere RFC/Leinster)

Was about to complain but you're correct for the first tackle on 12. Ref got it the wrong way round.

20 mins for a no arms dog shot feels light tbh.
