Ireland v Australia

[antipodean]

Wobblies choked on a great opportunity.

Shit, boring game to watch.

[Tordah]

Fuck, gutted for Oz, Ireland scrape through by the skin of their teeth. Fucking mauls, betraying me again

[ACT Crusader]

Terrible reffing at the end. Not the maul stuff but the ruck. O’Keefe is doing way too much coaching, just blow the whistle and penalise.

[Dan54]

@antipodean Geez that was a tough watch. Ireland are so very ordinary without Sexton for some reason.

[Billy Tell]

Poor Aussie. So close on this tour.

[Billy Tell]

The Irish 8 was great. Aussie 14 was very good

[Bovidae]

Both Wallaby hookers are so dumb with some of their decisions. Must be frustrating to watch for the coaches.

That game was there for the taking, but sums up the Wallaby season of what ifs.

Yeah. If I was Aus I'd not be despondent moving into next year. Especially considering the side of the draw they're on.

[Jailbreak7]

Guess we are going to have to get used to the likes of this style of rugby being successful in the NH especially in a WC year. Not a great ad for the game. Coincidentally a disallowed try due to discipline the difference in both ours and the Aus game.

Lost very narrowly to the top two teams but also lost to what the 14th or 15th ranked side….

Good game. Commiserations Australia.

Didn't say they don't have work ons

Complete lottery from the officials. For a change Ireland were the beneficiaries.....

Wait, wha ... aah sarchasm

[NTA]

Gold 21 joins maul with zero material effect and is penalised. In the last 3 minutes of the game.

I'm assuming it happened multiple times beforehand with zero sanction. Great timing by the AR.

A minute later, the Wallabies steal the lineout, and Green 17 steps ahead of last feet, then doesn't quite retreat, with zero material effect. AR is silent.

Love me a bit of consistency

Injury toll being one of the primary issues we have.

But fucking hell our discipline is rubbish and our execution swings from the sublime (try v France) to the utterly mediocre (about 40% of our own rucks).

[The Irishman]

From 1 to 8, possibly 9 in the rankings (which anyone with common sense knows is rubbish) these teams can beat each other on the day. Great to see rugby so competitive. The AB's dominated for so long it was destroying the game but it has absolutely boomed in the last decade thanks to better coaching and the sport rising in the public eye. The World Cup is going to be very interesting.

@The-Irishman Australia couldn't beat a small pile of dog turd.
