RWC Week 2: Ireland v Tonga

Billy Tell

Barnes riding Tonga so far.

MajorRage

Ireland looking slick.

Tonga discipline woeful.

Every single lineout maul Ireland have about 4 in front of the ball carrier. Barnes needs to be told.

Steve

Donal Lenihan on my feed whinging about NZ poaching of the Tongans, while there are 2 New Zealanders and 2 Australians in the Irish side.

Cabbage.

Billy Tell

All the tricks from Ireland. Clearing out behind the ruck. Obstruction from POM. Sexton taking more than the allotted time to kick the penalty.

They tackle the tackler and tackle the arriving defenders. Been at it for years.

Billy Tell

Doris is such a good player.

Jailbreak7

Was that pass not forward?

The Irishman

15 for Tonga is a class player

Billy Tell

If tongs want a chance they have to cut out crap like that from piutau.

MiketheSnow

Long night ahead

Mattasaurus

NO one in front of the ball carrier at the start of that maul

Steve

NO one in front of the ball carrier at the start of that maul

was just about to say it. Bloody joke it is.

MajorRage

Tonga have to be careful flying into the rucks.

Red cards waiting to happen.

Ireland, like all top rugby teams, are colossal cheats.

stodders

The sheer number of Ireland cleaners who just flop over the ruck, sealing off the ball. I counted 3 piled on top of each other in one ruck alone.

The Irishman

Pure class from Hansen

stodders

Super slick from Ireland

Steve

James Lowe entered that ruck on the wing sideways from 9 o clock position and just tackled a bloke.

stodders

@The-Irishman not bad for an average Ozzie 😂

Billy Tell

Tonga have been fairly ropey.

stodders

@Steve they do it with such speed though. Like ABs used to when everyone used to whinge about their ruck entries 😬
