Penalty to Ireland for late tackle... within range?

by rhonddasmackhead Sat 16 Jun 2012, 10:14 am

Time for cheating blacks to be shown for what they are really are. Keep the score close and they start playing REAL dirty.

by Cari Sat 16 Jun 2012, 10:14 am

Well that was fecking stupid by Daag, and very dangerous. Went in high with his elbow. Lucky he didn't break Chilli's jaw or something.

OK big lineout!! Drop goal time!!!!

by EnglishReign Sat 16 Jun 2012, 10:15 am

Bad decision imo. Should've kicked for touch, man short on the left.

by Cari Sat 16 Jun 2012, 10:15 am

Aww just short. Still, they're a man up and there's seven minutes to go.

by Thomond Sat 16 Jun 2012, 10:15 am

Feic. Still have good territory though. They're down to 14. We can do this.

by yappysnap Sat 16 Jun 2012, 10:16 am

Aaaahh come on Ireland!!!!

by Guest Sat 16 Jun 2012, 10:16 am

by **rodders** Sat 16 Jun 2012, 10:17 am

Come on Owens be brave and give the penalty here!

by Cari Sat 16 Jun 2012, 10:17 am

Drop goal to win it, come on!

by rhonddasmackhead Sat 16 Jun 2012, 10:17 am

NZ probably win 70-0 next week but all Ireland want is a win now.

by **rodders** Sat 16 Jun 2012, 10:17 am

Owens bottles it.

by Cari Sat 16 Jun 2012, 10:18 am

Bollix. ABs penalty. Irish front row pinged for illegally wheeling the scrum around.

by doctor_grey Sat 16 Jun 2012, 10:18 am

arguable penalty

by Thomond Sat 16 Jun 2012, 10:18 am

I'm not to sure about that call.

by yappysnap Sat 16 Jun 2012, 10:18 am

This Irish commentator is so one eyed!

by Cari Sat 16 Jun 2012, 10:18 am

Who cares, if they win this, they won't give a shoite!

by Guest Sat 16 Jun 2012, 10:18 am

He got that right Rodders, imo. Back 5 were driving it round.

by offload Sat 16 Jun 2012, 10:18 am

Don't agree with Owens there

by rhonddasmackhead Sat 16 Jun 2012, 10:18 am

Don't think Nigel has allegiance.

by Pete C (Kiwireddevil) Sat 16 Jun 2012, 10:19 am

Aargh, feed is down

by nathan Sat 16 Jun 2012, 10:19 am

Come on Ireland!!!!

Can't see ireland winning although i want them too.

by Cari Sat 16 Jun 2012, 10:19 am

Come on Ireland, hold them up. Don't let them score. I would love to see an Irish intercept now.

by Guest Sat 16 Jun 2012, 10:19 am

you're 7m out from Ireland's tryline Kiwi!

by doctor_grey Sat 16 Jun 2012, 10:20 am

defend.....................

by **Pal Joey** Sat 16 Jun 2012, 10:20 am

ABs pressing 8m out Kiwi... setting up for dg.

by Thomond Sat 16 Jun 2012, 10:20 am

Feic, feic, feic feic, feic!

by rhonddasmackhead Sat 16 Jun 2012, 10:20 am

Even if NZ win it is an infinite improvement on last week

by Cari Sat 16 Jun 2012, 10:20 am

ABs picking and driving Kiwi. Carter misses a DG attempt because the pass to him was bum!

by Thomond Sat 16 Jun 2012, 10:21 am

AB scrum 5m out.

by **Pal Joey** Sat 16 Jun 2012, 10:21 am

Missed... poor pass. Ref says it was touched. NZ scrum 5 out.
