RWC QF 3 IRE v ARG (Millenium Stadium) 18th Oct 2300 AEDT

[Bardon]

Ireland coming back well now. But it's a huge effort just to get within striking distance. Taking a lot out of the team. If we do manage to sneak ahead we need to stretch it out as Argentina will steam back into the game once the Irish tiredness kicks in.

What's Sanchez' kick at goal percentage this tournament? Seems like there's a magnet from the ball to the posts when he kicks.

Argies are rather good at scoring goals remember

Kind of wishing Ireland had Trimble on the bench at this point. We'll see.

 

[Cardiffblue]

That would've been a ruck last night

 

[Cardiffblue]

Mad game tho

 

[mxyzptlk]

Healy just not back in form yet. Not sure he can play himself there in a World Cup quarterfinal.

 

[ChargerWA]

Creevey just needs to play and stop sooking.

 

[Cardiffblue]

That penalty against Healy a bit tough

 

[Dewald Nel]

Half of 2 halfs. Argentina not able to do anything right at the moment.

 

[Cardiffblue]

Fuckity fuck

 

[Bardon]

Argentina aren't getting clean ball at the lineout but crucially Ireland aren't pinching their ball thus far.

 

[Cardiffblue]

Better d

 

[Cardiffblue]

Don't know why Murray is in such a hurry to get a bollocking from schmidt

 

[Bardon]

We're finishing the half better but we're not scoring points.

 

[Slim 293]

I think Argentina would be disappointed by that score..........

They were dominating so early on, but a couple of dumb kicks later, and a lazy shoulder and they give away 10 points.

 

[Bardon]

An early try for Ireland in the second half and this looks doable. Any kind of score from Argentina first and it's back to mountain climbing.

 

[BabyBlueElephant]

Ireland have woken up. First score of the second half will be critical in deciding this. Ireland have their best loose head yet to come on and will hope for some give there.

It's a closer game, not sure if Ireland can pull it out yet, they will need to come out firing.

That's saying something when he'd rather face Schmidt than more of Argentina.

 

[ChargerWA]

My feeling is that the Argies will fade after 60. They burnt a lot of emotion in the first 20 mins. They will need another converted try before 60 to carry it home.

Yup. All depends on first ten minutes
