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

I've always said he dhould start every game no matter who the opponents, its ridiculous he's not a regular starter. While smashing Chile to bits is great for confidence, it does little to uncloud Borthwick's mind. I'm genuinely worried that when it reaches the knockouts , he'll play Farrell and Ford together, and will bottle leading out Farrell. Arundel should be starting instead of Daley, and Smith could possibly play at full back, depending on the opposition. Earl just looks superb whenever he plays !

Not Smith for me.

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 !

Go the men in Green!

Should have taken the 3 points

 

[Goldhawk-Road]

Good start, some savage hits

 

[Trammers]

SA do take the 3 points

Ireland line out misfiring

 

[Goldhawk-Road]

Good attacking play by Ireland and Keenan

 

[Trammers]

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.

 

[Goldhawk-Road]

South Africa turning the screw...

 

[Trammers]

SA number 12 causing all sorts of problems

 

[Goldhawk-Road]

Great defensive work by Ireland

 

[Goldhawk-Road]

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

 

[Trammers]

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

 

[QPRNUTS]

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

 

[Trammers]

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...
