Ireland 3 gets a YC for a croc roll

[Bones]

If green 3 wasn't a weakling, that's red.

[The Irishman]

Fucking stupid by Bealham, that's going to be upgraded and deservedly so.

He can't argue that it was a split second mistake, just an ugly move

[Bones]

Oh fuck off Paul. Pathetic

[The Irishman]

Very lucky Bealham

[akan004]

Argentina are a brainless team. So many unnecessary penalties conceded.

It's no surprise that Argentina would be comfortably in the game if it wasn't for their brain farts.

When it's simply that you're not strong enough to fold the guy over his knee, it's very fucking lucky. What a cockhole.

[reprobate]

That's fucked eh. What is red for if not deliberate acts like that. Split second changes of direction and head contact get red, and that's yellow?

[Bones]

Argentina their own worst enemy.

True to some degree. But Ireland don't have the same domination in contact like they used to.

[Bones]

Oh that was gorgeous. Paul's going to try and even it up as he thinks it's red.

If you're making a tackle, you've got to get low. That's got nothing to do with this though.

[Bones]

Argentina finding out you can't get away with dumb shit against a team with a decent coach.
