Three upper-body, league-like tackles on a rampaging Savea. Wonder why those didn't work.

With a tackle like that, Pape must still be in pain from that gut-shot.

Crockett pulled his groin with that elbow drop on the ruck.

I'm done with it. That topic, not the thread. But after the Scotland news, with Ford and Gray's suspension being overturned, no one can say this judiciary committee isn't consistently inconsistent.

Pre-Game Speech, Ireland Dressing Room Remember, if someone gooses you, gives you a nut-tap, squeezes your ass, gives you a purple nurple, a squirrel grip, an eye gouge, holds on to your ankle off a ruck, or pulls the back of your jersey from an offside position for 5 seconds while you're...

You were saying?

They were about even in possession the first half, but it's decidedly in SA's favor this half. Looking forward to seeing the stats breakdown.

Barnes: "Why don't you play instead of shouting!" Who was he saying that to?

That's a bony elbow for Baldwin to be smashing his head into.

Etzebeth put a boot into Sam Warburton's neck trying to kick a loose ball.

In the Australia game, saw someone mention the Wallabies were down to 13, but it was Wales playing league -- why go for space when there's contact to be made? #BishBashBosh

North has yet to score in this tournament, right? Interesting they're actually taking advantage of overlaps, and with all 15 opposition players on the pitch.

They're revolting, just not against their coach.

:cool:

Where'd those stats come from? I'd like to know overall possession and territory stats as well. Despite kicking a lot, Ireland have maintained a lot of possession (which -- whisper it -- is part of the point of a good kicking game, not just giving away the ball). It's harder for a team to make...
