I think we’ve been reasonably controlled with the ball rather than dominating. I think there’s more to come in that respect and I expect us to trouble their tryline more in the second half if we can keep the same amount of ball. There’s just an aggression to our play that has been missing recently.
I think we will lose by 12 points.
agreed. Except earls had a foot in touch. Bad call from touch judge.
They’ll get 10 mins when they’re on top. I doubt we can score enough 3 pointers to negate their dominant spell.
We looked bemused by that “new rule” that was introduced about 15 years ago.
I always laugh at these instances in rugby football where players don’t know the rules.
Why the fuck are we not kicking to touch?
Impossible to get that to touch without kicking it out on the full.

This sport actually gets worse every time I watch it. So called professionals unable to kick the ball, throw it in or pass it.
[/quote]Put a sock in it KIB. No one is interested.
That shouldn’t have posed too much of a problem since Kearney was about 8 yds inside his 22 when he kicked it.
Strapping a hammer? Goodnight. Who to come in, Trimble or ROG?
Ball was played back into the 22 you simpleton
He was, but it was passed in to him from outside. FFS.
The ball was passed back to him from outside the 22 so it wasn’t an option to kick it out on the full.
It was thrown back into it.
Come on Ireland!
Really need this kick to go over
Super little reverse pass from BOD there
Where’s your moxy Johnny?
Rabbit O’Connor looks about 12.
That Ahland jersey is not bad. Much better than the heap of shit they wore at the last version of this tournament.
Kearnivore has a key role to play here if th northern hemisphere team are to win, always comes into his own in the southern hemisphere. Ahland win would mean NZ, Australia and SA would all be in the same half.
That was Darce. He’s been excellent today. Gone off injured now though.
O’Gara for D’Arcy!
