Rugby World Cup 2023

[Lee909]

Good to see the officials are as blind in this as the round ball

 

No head contact laughable 

[Creator Supreme]

I know it's early doors, but 10 points seems like a hell of a gap.

 

Not as bad as 13 points like.

[Strontium]

They've woken up now at least.

Absolutely.

Chink of light for anyone playing Ireland though, these little chips over their defence have had them in all kinds of trouble.

[KMD7]

NZ are so quick.

Barnes reffing an Ireland game is like Howard Webb reffing one of ours.

[Em City]

Barnes and our own botched line outs costing us.

[Creator Supreme]

Ireland will make a game of it, but the all blacks have too much.

 

Fucking frustrating, any other world cup they'd have been playing France here and even with home advantage for the French I think Ireland would have done them.

Once again, TMO sorting something out in seconds. You do have to question why another ball based sport can't do it like this.

This is a great game of rugby.

It's night and day. Look how calm and precise they are and compare to the blubbering, Self-important cunts doing VAR.

 

Anyhow, what a half of Rugby.

Yellow card couldn't have come at a better time for us.

It looked harsh but without it Ireland had a line break. Yellow by the rules. How brave were they to keep pushing instead of just taking the penalty. Rewarded for it in the end. Brilliant. 

[Em City]

Some balls on this Ireland team.

[Rushies tash]

That was some break from the line out from NZ. Fair play.

Quality try

[Pidge]

Thought the guy winning the NZ pen was on the floor there. I guess it's NZ so they get those...

 

I might be wrong on that one, but the 14 just tripped off the ball was cynical as fuck there.

[Creator Supreme]

I think that might be game.

[Pidge]

Pen for Ireland from the same thing, guy on the floor playing the ball. It's how they do.

Don't be soft. 20 minutes in it.

 

Edit: fucks sake Johnny 

[Lee909]

Can't see Ireland doing this after the penalty miss sadly. Think they needed that

[ZonkoVille77]

Can't see Ireland coming back now. They've been 2nd best all night bar the first 10 mins of the 2nd half when neither side scored.

Ireland are struggling in comparison to most of their games in recent history, but it's been a pretty open game. Anything can happen in 20 minutes 

[Pidge]

Come on now, make it count.
