It's not looking good for New Zealand.

Well fcken Done Ireland....See you at the RWC

Brilliant rugby from Ireland in the last phase of that game... together standing tall.

 

[cavedog]

This means that Ireland will likely move to 1st.

What did New Zealand do? Sigh.

 

[AfricanTech]

Bad omen for us with New Zealand losing

 

[Whright]

That was impressive by Ireland, well done lads.

I’m happy for the Irish.

Why. ??
Maybe they arent as good as people make them out to be. We often hear the old "Wait until we play the All Blacks" whenever the Boks dont play to the style of the Zoomer kids

I think his comment has more to do with NZ losing last week to Ireland and then us losing to Wales. Not so much about out upcoming match with the AB's later in the month.

Poms are doing a number on the Wobblies too. Might be up to the Boks to save the blushes of the south

 

[Whright]

Well Done England.

2 from 4 so far for the North, come on Wales and Scotland you Lads can pull this off.

1937 - Boks
1971 - B&I Lions
1986 - Australia
1994 - France
2022 - Ireland

That's how rare this feat by Ireland is.

Ian Foster was never a head coach. Scott Robertson should have replaced Hansen. Having said that, you just need to look at NZ age group rugby over the last 5 seasons to know their domestic rugby isn't as healthy as it once was.

This side isn't great at all and Ian isn't a particularly good coach either. Assistant coach at best..

 

[Agent_Smith]

Fantastic start so far! Camera men down in the Bok half have had nothing to do yet.

 

[Agent_Smith]

Meh. Takes us 15 minutes to score a try. Takes them 2...

Such a dominant first 20 being wasted

 

[backstreetboy]

Lol talking about loadshedding on Sky Sports action.

 

[AfricanTech]

Mbonambi!

What a boykie!

 

[Agent_Smith]

Will definitely take that halftime lead but still, Wales are looking not too bad with ball in hand. If one or two passes start to stick, we are going to be stretched. Definitely the best 40 minutes of rugby the Boks have produced so far.

Pity about Cheslyn though. A fractured jaw likely rules him out of the NZ test matches.

 

[cavedog]

Good start. We concede a try which isn't ideal but that was good play by Wales.

The ref is not giving a yellow. Not sure why.

The pitch is in a bad way.
