Can someone please explain how Aki's forearm lead to the neck / head in the truck up leading to Kearney's try was any different from Kerevi v Patchell?
Garces was right there too.
No replay and my rudimentary pause technique in real time might not have shown the whole picture.
But certainly worth a look.
Made the same comment earlier on a WhatsApp thread with a bunch of Irish mates.
Stone silence still....

Russian 7's phone should be ringing off the hook.

Why the fuck are Russia kicking for goal?
Shit decision making all round.

If you're Irish I'm sure you don't give a fuck, but jesus they're a boring team to watch.

Beating the AB's was one part of it :face_with_stuck-out_tongue_winking_eye:
One does wonder whether they peaked a bit too early?
EDIT: mind you, Eng circa 2003 was also a bit past their peak and still lifted Bill so I'll keep quiet for now
-
@antipodean They love to peak before world cups....

I'm reliably informed that end of year friendlies don't count.

Ireland are definitely holding a lot back. None of Schmidt's power plays have been seen over the last few rounds. They will not be easy in the quarters.
No-one is going to be easy in the knock-out stages. Sudden death changes how teams play (well, most anyway).
And Ireland have achieved what they needed to here - BP victory.
