The Rugby thread

[Stephen]

How old/mature is these supporters always blaming the ref?
What about second last penalty for us that was not a penalty? The "knock on" came from Sasha?

Edit
And the penalty for us when Frans's knee was on the ground first?

Oh geez this oke again

 

[SlowInternet]

That was heartbreaking

Tonight we will be drinking our Brandy and Coke to help with our sorrows.





Out of the William Webb Ellis Trophy.....

Kolbe milked that imo. That Irish player looked like he just stood there.

Bollocks. Ref cost us the game as usual.

No need to knock Manie because Pollard is playing well.

But it is so easy because he place kick so poor.

Well his attacking game is better. So I can just as easily say we'd have scored three first half tries with him on the field *shrug*

Why does Mark Keohane remind me of a greasy dodgy car salesman

Lol and Pollard had a great game? Kicked that one restart so deep even Adele was rolling in it.

 

[cavedog]

We let a victory at the end there slip through our fingers to be honest.

It's by 1 point yes but not that goes into the history books as the last time we lost against Ireland etc so it's not a nice feeling

Has Mark Keohane improved his standing in society?

 

[Whright]

Ha ha - stings eh!

Your English team wilted again.

So did yours.

Absolute sucker punch at the end there. Pretty poor from Kolbe to try milk the pen. But thought Ireland got away with a lot. The breakdown was a mess as usual. Doris lucky to be on the pitch. We steamrolled them in the second half and they got the smash and grab. But damage done in the first half. Wish there was a third test!

 

[Sir Peel-a-Lot]

Ireland played well, but I can't congratulate a consistently dirty team. Should have been handed 3 red cards in the first 5 mins of the match. Hope they're happy with their narrow win by deliberately injuring our players. Ref needs to go to Specsavers.

Pity we only drew the series... but we have nothing to be ashamed about, don't forget Ireland are ranked #2 and it was never going to be an easy win.

Credit where credit is due, Ireland kept in the game in spite of the number of penalties they conceded and Pollard slotted, big hats off to those 2 drop goals, they ultimately cost us the game, the last was perfect positioning and timing and sealed Ireland's deserved win.

Edit: The number of Springbok forwards head injuries at the beginning was concerning though, I'm sure that might be looked into by Rassie's team because there could be more behind that... just sayin

#1 team at home, could seal the deal….

 

[backstreetboy]

You also sleeping now?

Jeez just PM the guy if you want to hook up.

Well.... We know what it feels like to win by 1 point as well. Just fair that we share the experience.

 

[RunningFromFat]

It was a great experience! Unforgettable thanks to the drop goals.
