19-19 Billy

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

by rhonddasmackhead Sat Jun 16, 2012 8:14 pm

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 Jun 16, 2012 8:14 pm

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.

by EnglishReign Sat Jun 16, 2012 8:15 pm

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

by Cari Sat Jun 16, 2012 8:15 pm

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

by Thomond Sat Jun 16, 2012 8:15 pm

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

by yappysnap Sat Jun 16, 2012 8:16 pm

Come on Owens be brave and give the penalty here!

by Cari Sat Jun 16, 2012 8:17 pm

Drop goal to win it, come on!

by rhonddasmackhead Sat Jun 16, 2012 8:17 pm

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

by **rodders** Sat Jun 16, 2012 8:17 pm

Owens bottles it.

by Cari Sat Jun 16, 2012 8:18 pm

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

by doctor_grey Sat Jun 16, 2012 8:18 pm

arguable penalty

by Thomond Sat Jun 16, 2012 8:18 pm

I'm not to sure about that call.

by yappysnap Sat Jun 16, 2012 8:18 pm

This Irish commentator is so one eyed!

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

by Guest Sat Jun 16, 2012 8:18 pm

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

by offload Sat Jun 16, 2012 8:18 pm

Don't agree with Owens there

by rhonddasmackhead Sat Jun 16, 2012 8:18 pm

Don't think Nigel has allegiance.

by Pete C (Kiwireddevil) Sat Jun 16, 2012 8:19 pm

Aargh, feed is down

by nathan Sat Jun 16, 2012 8:19 pm

Come on Ireland!!!!

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

by Cari Sat Jun 16, 2012 8:19 pm

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

by Guest Sat Jun 16, 2012 8:19 pm

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

by doctor_grey Sat Jun 16, 2012 8:20 pm

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

by **Pal Joey** Sat Jun 16, 2012 8:20 pm

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

by Thomond Sat Jun 16, 2012 8:20 pm

Feic, feic, feic feic, feic!

by rhonddasmackhead Sat Jun 16, 2012 8:20 pm

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

by Cari Sat Jun 16, 2012 8:20 pm

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

by Thomond Sat Jun 16, 2012 8:21 pm

AB scrum 5m out.

by **Pal Joey** Sat Jun 16, 2012 8:21 pm

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

by nathan Sat Jun 16, 2012 8:21 pm
