What the fuck has Rugby become if that is a YC

[Joans Town Jones]

I think the ABs are beating Barnes at the breakdown. There's 2 or 3 they should of had defensive penalties and don't get me started on the YC.

So given Aaron Smith has the YC, does that mean he’ll play now to the end?

For our sake, I hope so.

He’s possibly only got another 160 minutes in black after this game, no risk of burning him out…

[Joans Town Jones]

@DaGrubster Ireland at every back move is obstructing more than Frizzel. He was looking at the ball FFS.

I genuinely think the Irish are worried. They haven't been able to dominate us at the breakdown, get a stranglehold on the game and know it's stupid stuff (I'm talking to you Will Jordan & Shannon) which has kept them in the game.

We have less to fix than they have, I think

Let's see how fosters half time wisdom affects the team

[LagerLout]

@Joans-Town-Jones That too, utterly baffling

[stodders]

@Victor-Meldrew yep. AB kick off the second half. Have to pin Ireland in for 7 mins. Easier said than done

[canefan]

Apparently we will have a strong wind in the second 40

We give them too much space on the edges.

[booboo]

So Jordie kicked that into the wind?

[Frank]

Herald saying Reiko has missed four tackles.

[stodders]

@antipodean yep. They are going after it. Even more so at the beginning of the second half

[akan004]

If we defend like SA we are up by 10.

At Athletic Park the old adage was play into the wind in the first half (and pass a lot) and with it behind you in the second.

[Victor Meldrew]

First 10 minutes are critical. Hold them off and we are OK. Let them score and we are toast.

[stodders]

@akan004 true. But SA aren’t scoring one of those tries.
