Off Topic The Rugby Thread

I don’t think IRE get the credit they deserve for the physicality they bring. Plenty of beasts there too

 

Not Smith for me.

 

I just like my flair players Col ! Wouldn't necessarily start at full back for me, but he brings alot of attacking flair to the team. As you know , apart from the coaches I think Farrell has held back our attacking threat for years !

 

Talk to ye at HT, can’t watch, drink pints, read and text at the same time

 

Good luck mate...... but I thought you could multitask....

Some atmosphere.... C'mon Ireland

 

Go the men in Green!

 

Should have taken the 3 points

 

Good start, some savage hits

 

SA do take the 3 points

 

Ireland line out misfiring

 

Good attacking play by Ireland and Keenan

 

Better from Ireland after securing line out possession....

Give away silly scrum penalty

 

Ireland v Springboks no quarter being given.

Highest level I’ve seen so far in this tournament. Springboks shading it at the moment. Brutal stuff.

Great Ireland try, they really do make every attack count.

There are some huge, crunching tackles going in. And so far, none of them high. It can be done.

 

South Africa turning the screw...

 

SA number 12 causing all sorts of problems

 

Great defensive work by Ireland

 

Sucked 'em in and went wide. Great try, Ireland.

 

Great try by Hanson..... apart from almost going over dead ball line

 

Unbelievable battle
Very attritional.
Not an inch on that field.
If Ireland can sort out that lineout and get an attacking platform we can win.

SA have to be wondering WTF

 

There's going to be an awful lot of sore bodies tomorrow, the physicality is off the scale.....

Brilliant by Ireland so far... matched SA hit for hit...... absorbing stuff...
