Australia v Ireland, Sat 9th June @ 8.00pm, Suncorp Brisbane

I thought our mid field has been good tonight.

No chance, the consensus was it would leak like a seive ;-)

 

[Set piece magic]

It’s more than just a game when the northern unions vote on bloc and use their clandestine influence within world rugby to ensure politically appropriate referees are appointed. ARU needs some HAWKS running theor foreign policy!

 

[KOB1987]

The only bad call was the ruck penalty against the Wobs for holding on despite the Irish not rolling away.... otherwise the referee has been fine - Shiggins aside, I don’t get what all the whining is about.

I didn’t see that one but the dodgy forward pass call at the end by the. AR was a blatant fuck up.

Given your obsession with the laws you would also have observed that Pocock was not actually supporting his own weight, despite kearne ignorant assertion to the contrary.[/
Yeah, I'll take your word over an ex Wallaby hooked every time

There was nothing wrong with Pocock supporting his own body weight there... the Irish commentary is in agreement with Kearns there.

But the penalty was against Hooper anyways.

Except his shoulders were lower than his hips and he was in contact with players on the ground - which has been the test, supposedly: never applied consistently.
And the Irish have the same line out flaw as the ABs they leave it before it’s over and do not keep moving:
“Leave the lineout so as to be in a position to receive the ball, provided they remain within 10 metres of the mark of touch and they keep moving until the lineout is over”

 

[KOB1987]

He’s made a couple of mistakes but he’s nowhere near biased or incompetent

 

[USARugger]

Really glad I got up for this one!

The defensive pressure over some of these periods has been nothing short of fucking superb

 

[William88]

Now for some consistency boys! Go again.

Only thing I can say we aren't doing well is the cross kicks for Izzy. They aren't on and Beale and Foley do it.

Against the all blacks thats probably 10 points given away.

Aren’t they overdoing it a bit?
Talk about a one trick pony.

 

[William88]

Interesting how often Folau is getting into passing positions. Wonder if that’s a ploy to make the Blacks think he isn’t just going to run it!

 

[USARugger]

Yeah the first one or two cross kicks were threatening but some of the ones after were too low and basically just gave Stockdalr free ball to work with

 

[Istanbul]

That's all on Foley! He is the weak link in a good team

 

[Up the Guts]

Pocock is such a weapon. Great defence.

 

[Inside Shoulder]

Looks like gray has worked out a defensive system

 

[William88]

Pocock! No head gear and all!

How good was that Defense?

Now to have a lineout we can’t win...

 

[swingpass]

All that presdure came from crappy kicking again.

 

[William88]

I know Ireland have a top lineout, we can’t seem to win any ball from ours. Simmons might need a run to get it sorted.

 

[Istanbul]

Foley is a very average footballer! He needs to be hooked!

 

[Derpus]

Cross field kicking is not working. Drop it now or lose.
