RWC: Ireland v Samoa (Pool A)
-
Murray and Sexton starting to come back into form.
-
That last scrum penalty was rubbish - Ireland sheared left and walked around
-
Here comes Joey.
-
Gah man this is irritating to watch.

I think it’s pretty good.
Just sayin...
-
@Derm-McCrum nah. Samoa have all the opportunities but they're doing nothing with them. Irritating. I wanna see them build some phases.

@Derm-McCrum said in RWC: Ireland v Samoa (Pool A):
Great pass Murray.
Good vision, although someone should ask what the Samoan winger was doing?

What he’s been doing most of the game - ball watching.

Jesus these Irish are such insufferable tossers - every fucking ruck there's some twat in a green jersey staring at the ref, waving his arms trying to whinge a penalty.
Ireland are the James Harden of rugby.
-
TJ Ioane’s workrate has been phenomenal.
-
Ireland turned up. Pretty impressive.
-
Unsurprising YC.

Ditto Jack Lam.
-
Entirely fair YC
Is this dross Schmidt's coaching brilliance?
-
This has been a good workout for the knockouts. Tough oppo from Samoa.

Is this dross Schmidt's Kiwi coaching brilliance?
FTFY.
Yes.
-
Great scrum.

Yes.
Not every country gets the best exports.
-
Ireland have missed 1 in every 4 tackles.
-
I guarantee another RC before the final whistle.
-
Samoa have been dreadful. How does a team with a man advantage give up possession and territory to spend most of the game making tackles?
-

There’s a silver cloud in every lining.

Fucked discipline.
Now their front row is packing too high
-
Excellent. Stander improving too.
-
A man down and still dominating. Ireland very impressive. Hoping we dont hit them in the quarters
-
14+ minutes still to go. Another marathon match

Bring on Ireland.

Much easier to lose a back than a forward, especially if you control possession.
-
POM strikes again.
-

Didn’t even allow the tackled player to place the ball.

If that was true why wouldn't teams just sub a back for a forward?
-
Lovely grubber from Joey.

And that’s never happened before.... 😃
-
Pretty disgusting that the game has been turned into a farce by Ireland being down a man for over 50 minutes. How are they supposed to compete?

When SBW saw red against the Lions we subbed Kaino for another back, so the ABs think the opposite?

It obviously depends on how you play (Ireland vs ABs).

Hah not sure if that worked or not.
-
The gap between Ireland's starting halves and the next best is staggering.
Luckily they've got forward depth, even if their skill set is limited. As @mariner4life said about Pocock: one trick, but does it well
-
Go home Samoa, you're drunk!
-
This has been a terribly disappointing RWC for the Pacific Islands.
