[Mattasaurus]

are the halves allowed around the scrum like that - or that rule not being played in RWC?

Its things like this that really annoy me - inconsistently applied yet most probably one of the easiest to see and enforce...

[Mattasaurus]

Smart by Ireland taking Sexton off.

[stodders]

How many times will Barnes allow Ireland to lean over the ruck and touch the ball with hands. Clearly illegal and slows Tonga down.

[Billy Tell]

Just crap from the 10

[stodders]

Havili…must be the name 🙈

[stodders]

How many penalties have Ireland conceded now?

[Mattasaurus]

the bounce of the rugby ball ... but a clever little kick with chasers ready to chase....

Ireland's chase is so good.

[stodders]

@hydro11 benefits of Gaelic football 😬

[taniwharugby]

@hydro11 like thier defence line it.pushes up quick, flat and disciplined.

[Steve]

A Tongan on defence was tackled and brought to ground 5 meters beyond the ruck he was trying to get to in that phase.

[Steve]

double movement.

[gt12]

Fuck me, how can you give that Barnes? He was crawling like a baby

[MajorRage]

He was also being pushed by quite a few Irish. Not sure what else he could do.

[gt12]

I’m all for getting rid of the TMO, until I see the ineptness of refs and touchies.

Seriously, WTF are touchies doing nowadays?

Fafita looks better at 8 than he ever did at 6 or lock
