At least Ireland seem to be awake and up for this match. An improvement on the dross so far.

Being down to 14 men isn't such an issue when you play 10 man rugby.

Of course. I mean why aren’t they flinging it wide and scoring using all 14 players?

Aki is not Ireland's best midfielder? Give over!

No he’s not.

Hopefully Bundee O'Aki gets banned for the rest of the tournament for that act of brutality. We don't need people like him in our game.

O’Aki?

What’s his father’s name?

Padi

[MrDenmore]

Standing by for the Irish troll columnist complaining that brave Ireland have been infiltrated by thuggish Kiwis and 'south sea islanders'. To be sure.

[African Monkey]

@Bovidae Triple figures depending on how many games Ben Skeen is involved in.

Too late.

That is Aki's tournament over.

If the citing process is consistent.

No he’s not.

Who do you see as the best midfielder then? Ringrose?

Because I see Aki for Ireland as being similar to Tuilagi for England - feature of all the big matches over the past few years, great bailout and go forward option for Sexton.

@Derm-McCrum Still a cheating girly fluffybunny

My suspicion was there was no way he was five metres back at that scrum.

On the replay he was miles offside.

And Phil Kearns is busy telling us all Nic Berry is having a good game.

[Bones]

What the hell was Stockdale aiming at when he got sconed? That was weird.

I would say the midfield trio of Murray, Sexton, Aki are critical to Ireland's chances

Yeah, I don't see Ireland being able to play the game they really want to with the same effectiveness without Aki there.

As with the game against Japan (and Russia come to think of it) Ireland's scrum gets busted cheating once and then turn into pussy cats

Murray Sexton Henshaw and Ringrose in my book. Farrell is pretty good at 12 too.

Farrell can do a similar job to Aki.

Was Farrell the guy who played against Japan?

Because that guy was shit.

[Bovidae]

Good analysis from the Spark panel putting some responsibility on the ball-carrier and their head position in these type of tackles.

@mariner4life At least he plays for his real country unlike that clown Bundee O'Aki!

I think he’s Mac Aki actually....

(since we're in Japan) Buck Aki?
