RWC: Ireland v Samoa (Pool A)

[Bovidae]

@ACT-Crusader Yep, so it seems.

[African Monkey]

@antipodean I don't know what more Seilala Lam could have done?

[mariner4life]

He ran straight in to him!

Piss weak

[antipodean]

Good run by the fatty.

[Bones]

Just what we wanted, a shithouse Samoa playing Ireland back into form.

Is it really form when Samoa are this shithouse?

Hopefully the Irish think it is.

[kiwiinmelb]

Didn’t think that was that bad, looked like he was trying to catch it

[Rembrandt]

All Samoa has to do is charge at defenders and purposely crouch to the point where they bang their heads into Irish shoulders. Get a few irish off with red or yellow cards and the game is theirs

Fair point, but the Irish have had no clue how to attack and specifically finish an attack so far. We don't want them remembering.

[mariner4life]

Bullshit penalty

Fuck you Sexton

[gt12]

Nice kick Sexton.

[ACT Crusader]

Justice that kick going dead.

[gt12]

Are those Irish chasers onside?

He takes two steps back and kicks it and I’d swear their chasers are in front...

[Bones]

He blew that knock on bloody quick, Samoa had a turnover there and broken field.

Fuck off TMO there was nothing there. You suck

I have a lot of sympathy for the samoan player - he got low early and it was Stockdale who made it dangerous for himself. If Stockdale keeps his normal body height, you've got a fair (and probably punishing) tackle.

Also, no HIA? That looked like it hurt and he went straight down after.

Lam : "What do you want us to do?" Berry: "Tackle lower"

Jesus, he was a foot off the ground! It's not his fault Stockdale thought it would be a good idea to headbutt his shoulder!

[akan004]

Larmour is a big improvement on the ageing Kearney.

[Bovidae]

No need to watch the 2nd half.

[MrDenmore]

It must be getting to the point where players on offence deliberately drop into the tackle to elicit a card. An utter farce.
