RWC Week 3: Springboks v Ireland

[sparky]

Kennan two metres short, but the ball lost.

[Mattasaurus]

Is it just me, or are the Irish looking to try and push the ball into the tackler a lot in the breakdowns

[Stockcar86]

SA winning the contact areas. Irish forwards need to step up

[taniwharugby]

Over 70 sec from whistle blown to the awarding of pen atbscrum set

[sparky]

Boks stronger at set piece but Ireland winning the territory battle.

[Bones]

How was that not a penalty to SA? Irish miles on the wrong side and completely blocked FdK.

[sparky]

This is so stop-start-stop-start. Get on with it.

[JayCee]

Love the introduction of the TV timeouts in rugby

[Darren]

Wouldn't exactly call this a free flowing game so far
Seems this is the norm now.

[chimoaus]

What was that break actually for?

[taniwharugby]

@chimoaus cos tired, 15 mins if rugby

[Tim]

Nice work from Lowe. Hansen was such a shit coach for not selecting him.

[chimoaus]

I sometimes think holding on should be let go a bit longer Lowe got the ball, play on.

[taniwharugby]

@chimoaus yeah is odd you get pinged for holding when you have lost the ball...

[sparky]

Lots of whistle so far and not much action.

[Mattasaurus]

The Irish seem to think they deserve a turnover anytime they get their hands on the ground passed the ball... the constant "appealing" is already tired.

[Tim]

Any release there?

[chimoaus]

Making of a true NH classic.

[sparky]

I’m yawning.

[Jailbreak7]

Suddenly Gibson-Park looks old.
