RWC - Wallabies v Ireland - 17th September 2011

[Gnostic]

Absolutely no evidence of the IRB Ruck directives from Bryce Lawrence. He has also made up his mind regarding Alexander who should probably be subbed at half time. HTF is B. Lawrence regarded as one of the top referees? Take the Horwill incident for instance, nobody could say it was intentional but he was offside pure and simple. Lawrence you are a disaster.

Apart from the that my prediction of McCalman being the blow fly against the window is coming true. No effectiveness at all.

No intensity in defence from the whole team. Just rubbish. On the first half performance Ireland should win this.

 

[Skippy]

Whichever way you look at it, we're losing the scrums. Not a good look, given that we're fielding our heaviest pack ever.

Agree... most of the problem here is the backrowers all disengage and leave 5 on 8 = Ireland domination.

Fella's.... for all the Beau Robinson love - he isn't here. Let it go and find something else to contribute instead of could of/should of/never did and never will please.

 

[Larno]

We're only in touch because we're getting away with blue murder around the field, courtesy of one B. Lawrence. If he starts reffing rucks properly we're fucked.

 

[Riptide]

Ireland playing the ref better at the breakdown, and flooding the collision with numbers. Aus need to drive the ball up the middle to gain control of this game.

If O'Gara comes on early as I suspect, ball will rain down on Cooper from on high. I really want Beale back there on Irish ball.

 

[jollyswagman]

What the fuck has McCalman done tonight? We need to more mongrel and would love to see Palu get some game time. Any chance Robbie would pull McCalman and put Radike on openside with Palu at 8? More ball control please boys.....

Did I mention I think Sharpe should be there?

And don't start me on Al Baxter!

Al Baxter is a disgraceful prop.

 

[Scarfman]

George Smith is in the stands. I wonder if he brought the boots?

 

[Scarfman]

Al Baxter is a disgraceful prop.

He's better than Ma'afu. But since I was only joking, let's get back to the game.

 

[Sebby]

Why did he call that ruck up and give ireland perfect set piece when it wouldve come out..... rugby games are meant to have slow ball

 

[Dark Shark]

Great scrum. Lucky Irish

 

[champo]

No shit, I'd rather have Kaplan out there.

 

[AngrySeahorse]

That was straight.

 

[jollyswagman]

......and then the wheels fell off.

 

[Sebby]

What was taht call?

 

[Garryowen]

Ref conspiracy.

 

[François]

Who can smell an upset ? I already have to eat my previous words. Said it would be a one way affair.. Mea culpa. Clearly it isn't

 

[Slim 293]

Where's riptide?

I knew his cocky Irish baiting would hurt us...

 

[Dark Shark]

Why would Beale chip ball away?

 

[Sebby]

This ref is making wrong decision after wrong decision.
