Fark me.

I love passion from players, but can we stop this ya-boo sucks, in-yer-face gloating when a team wins a penalty? It's a fucking blight on the game.

Maro Itoje started it. Now half the Test players seem to do it. Gloating is an insult to the finest traditions of the game.

Penalise the fuckwits. It has no place in the game. Why a team as good as Ireland feels the need to engage in this sort of shit is beyond me.

They are the biggest arseholes in World Rugby these days.

Being beaten on a regular basis would make you very bitter I guess...it's not your fault.

Its growing consensus.

The boks have no ideas.

Ireland shit housing with time wasting now.

2 quick tries later ….

@Steve good to see the ref at least trying to keep things moving, but they need to draw a line in the sand and start penalising

Penalties for time wasting please refs. Quit praising "game management".

[Tordah]

Springboks very unlucky with the ref, thought he was shit and mostly Boks suffered from it. Ireland a good team, though, especially when they are allowed to pass the ball forward.

@MajorRage

They had no idea today. When all you have is a hammer, every problem is a nail. bash bash bash bash bash bash

Super and very attritional test match. Unlucky SA, Pool B will be very interesting next year. Apsolute shame that SA, NZ, Fra and Ire have to face off and two of these teams gone after quarter finals....

That was a world class rant from Nick Mallet in the post-match. I'm not saying he was wrong on everything. Ironic to mention the hometown TV coverage (re: replays).

A lot of injuries from this game.

[Rancid Schnitzel]

Just watching replay. What the holy hell are the Irish wearing? Looks like a shitty Super Rugby jersey.

They are an abomination. Whoever came up with that design and colour should be sacked.

[profitius]

@Steve must be doing something right so. The teams at the top tend to be disliked the most. Human nature.

Hard to beat Ireland without a decent 10....

[mariner4life]

45 kicks in play and 22 penalties.

Reckon I'll skip the replay.

It was dreadful stuff.

The worst part is it was highly predictable given how these two teams play.

Congrats to Ireland 🍻Brutal game. Our scrums lineouts and kicking cost us in the end. Thought ref Amashukeli was ok and there were errors both ways not just the forward pass. Etzebeth charging around looking for work after 80 mins still defies belief. Peter OMahony Porter Furlong GibsonPark and co just ground it out and truthfully we didn’t deserve a win. Farrell and OConnell should be stoked but Nienaber and Erasmus are going to have to tighten up quite a few things before France…
