    Kearney is paying $2.37 to score a try vs Russia, seems good odds to me...3 guys on the bench are at lower odds than he is.

    For some reason that made me laugh.
    But Russia will do well to keep this below 50.

    @taniwharugby Take that bet. Good odds.

    Can someone please explain how Aki's forearm lead to the neck / head in the truck up leading to Kearney's try was any different from Kerevi v Patchell?

    Garces was right there too.

    No replay and my rudimentary pause technique in real time might not have shown the whole picture.

    But certainly worth a look.

    Yes Joel. It's good refereeing to get the guy swimming past the ball carrier.

    But why isn't it referred regularly? Lot of mauls this RWC have been lazy bullshit that should have drawn a penalty

    Russia, like the States last night, aren't a bad side. Big units, well organised on both sides of the ball, aren't at all afraid.

    But, just like the States, they lack those game breakers out wide.

    Multi phase recovery the issue. Once you break them, the instinct isn't the same as someone who e.g. played barefoot touch as a kid

    Some random shit from Jerome tonight on the forward passes.

    Lol Artemyev has better English than Garces thanks to his Irish youth

    Their openside and locks are willing. Props are fairly mobile too.

    Their 1st 5 isn’t creative at all so stifles any sort of decent ball.

    It'd be awful shame if a few of Ireland's key players were cited and missed out on the quarter final - ruin the spectacle and all that.

    Number 9 for Russia has a pass on him. Fast and accurate

    Russian 10 lacking creativity is not necessarily a bad thing - they don't necessarily have the tools to use it anyway. They've got some nice hands to get out to 13 or 15 joining the line, but Ireland are reading it really now so they need to mix it up.

    Russia looked knackered at the end of that half. I sense a bloodbath
