Ireland v South Africa

[Darren]

Is Lukhanyo Am injured?

[Bovidae]

Conor Murray back as the starting halfback. That may tell us about the Irish tactics on the day.

[OomPB]

@Darren yes out for this year.

[Crucial]

Every SA player should have a little button to press that plays a recording of Danes Coles whenever Sexton talks to the ref.

"Gee, he's a mouthy fluffybunny isn't he"

Yes, we can expect a slow game, with plenty of kicks, and even more when de Klerk comes in.

[Jailbreak7]

Those jerseys are an abomination. And colour clash.

[Bones]

SA need more coaches in the box.

[Bones]

Penalty only.

[Bones]

You couldn't get at the lower end of the scale. Kolbe put himself in that position though.

They look very different and n the wide shot to me.

[Bones]

Holy schmokes. Sexton is penalised.

[The Irishman]

SA are monsters in the breakdown, this is going to be a long night for the Irish pack.

[Bones]

Ref seems out of his depth.

[Victor Meldrew]

Fark me.

I love passion from players, but can we stop this ya-boo sucks, in-yer-face gloating when a team wins a penalty? It's a fucking blight on the game.

Maro Itoje started it. Now half the Test players seem to do it. Gloating is an insult to the finest traditions of the game.

Penalise the fuckwits. It has no place in the game. Why a team as good as Ireland feels the need to engage in this sort of shit is beyond me.

[Victor Meldrew]

Gibson O'Park on.

Wow, who'd of thunk they'd appoint a rookie ref these days...

Be grateful. In the old days they'd have appointed one to a RWC Quarter-Final...

They are the biggest arseholes in World Rugby these days.
