Ireland score off the lineout drive. These marginal technical penalties are going to kill sides who try to play Rugby in their own half in the next six weeks.
Ireland ahead 17-13.
Crowley takes forever on the conversation. Charged down. Still 17-13. Can Samoa go again?
How do you have a conversion charged down from outside the 22?
Another penalty to Ireland. These have shifted momentum in the game.
@sparky A familiar story....
Brave Samoan defence this.
Irish number 8 clearly joins maul at the front and Barnes is oblivious.
Held up. But Barnes gives Ireland another penalty.
Jack Ryan dropped that one going over the line, I think.
Ireland 17 Samoa 13 with ten to go.
What (posh) English for ‘we’ve come to watch the players not the fucking referee’?
Poor Samoan exit.
Seven minutes to go. Ireland lead by four.
Ireland going through the phases well but not doing much with it.
At last a Samoan penalty. We haven’t seen one of those for a while.
Irish player impeding defence and Barnes waves on.
Last four minutes.
Samoa with a penalty right in front with three to go.
Sopoaga kicked it out in goal………
