Then you didn't see England Saxons have to beat SA and the ref last night.  He was the worst I have ever seen.  A Safa with a job to do it seemed.

Another reason to step away from rugby, the supporters are getting worse by the minute

No sorry that's not true.  I've been following all my life and that was the worst half of officiating I've ever seen.

He repeatedly gave penalties he should not have around the scrums, rucks and mauls to SA and acted like he had been ordered to ensure a certain result.  

It does not make us a bad fan to call out a homer of a ref when it really is.

Absolutely. It had an unfortunate and accidental outcome but the red card decision is a joke. A yellow would have been harsh for god sake. You see that happen all the time without penalisation. The ref ruled on the outcome not the action which was never reckless.

jumping hip first at someones head who has just kicked the ball is not just reckless its dumb.

if stander had missed him it still would have been dumb. in this case, the fact he hit is head is precisely why it is red.

It was nice when you stopped derailing threads for awhile. The glory days of 606

Sorry read comments wrong. No one thinks the act was wrong just he was injured.Forgot about that part of the law!

The pass was poor but the decision to try that pass was terrible.

What was different between La Rouxs tackle on Earls and Henshaws?

One was clearly a yellow and the other wasn't.

Paddy needs to just refocus, manage the game. He's been excellent up until this point, he's a bit mentally rattled now.

We can do this lads. Come on.

earls had the ball...

Except they were identical

Just turned on the game - what's happened?? Early red card yet winning! Go Ireland!

malherbe brainfart..again...

ref gave the yellow for a high tackle

paddy jackson, apart from the intercept try, looking an improvement on sexton of this season for me

Perhaps you should direct your emotions to the fact that your side is 3 mins from winning in SA Deserved win too, when you consider the errors and poor discipline. well done.

Im not sure I can cope much more

You've got de Klerk at 9. Jantjies at 10. Mapoe at 13 and le Roux at 15. Run the Frak ball!

With 30 secs to go, why give the ball to the team that have to score?

cmon ireland...

Ireland on the verge of making history!

I'm on the verge of collapse

Fantastic Ireland, that is amazing!

Excellent win, well done Ireland.

My heart...

That is the hardest earned win I have ever seen from Ireland. Well done.

YES!!! YES!!! YES!!! IRELAND!!!

That tackle

YEEEEEEEESSSSS!!!!!!

very very well played ireland. SA underwhelming tbh. not taking anything away from Irelands epic grit.

Wow

Well done Ireland

Not seen the game, but that is a sensational result from the boys in green. 2 out of 3 to the NH.

WELL DONE IRELAND.

Well done Ireland! What a performance, what a result!

My bloody hell. What a win. I need a nap. Those boys were giants today

The heart shown by those players today was incredible so many of them stepped up and gave it all

What can I say. I may have been very harsh on Farrell's appointment as defence coach but that was something special from Ireland. To beat SA in SA with a man down for 60mins is something special. Every player on the Ireland side, take a bow, that was brilliant.

Paddy Jackson (ok one slip up) proved that he is more than ready to be the 10 for Ireland. What a game also from Murray, defensively brilliant and took his try well.


SA, well its dark days ahead I feel. That was a poor showing from them.

What a performance.

Unbelievable! Unbelievable! One of the best wins of all time!

Not seen the game, what was the final score? Also I heard someone was sent off?

Well done Ireland on the win

Delighted!! Massive shift from Marshall. Great to see him back at international level. Superb in defence when he's not been blocked

Unreal stuff ,I can't believe it.

Oh and a massive effort from Payne at 15. What a game he had there, must start at 15 for Ireland from now on.

Feic you Mr Raynal, we got the result you obviously didn't want. Now back to schools rugby for you, you dingbat

Epic result, one I can't believe. Nobody gave us a chance with 15 men. I don't know how I'm meant to feel. Wow, Irish warriors each and every man.

26-20 with stander seen red in the 20th minute then down to 13 for ten mins as well.

I think I might be in love with Andy Farrell.

To a man, unbelievable performance. Whatever the Wolfpups can do, the auld lads can do better!

That felt like a real changing of the guard in Irish performance, and some real leaders emerging there.

Well at work and listened to the game on the radio. Nearly destroyed the carpet in the last 20 with all the pacing.
Can not wait to get home to watch it.

Brilliant, brilliant Ireland - oh to be in Dublin tonight.

What a great day for the NH, too. Two wins out of three and a spirited performance by Wales where no visitor wins.

What a result!!!

Congrats lads
