South Africa v Ireland - 13 July 2024

Beautiful.

Much more intent and physicality this week.

Interesting what they've ID' around the boks tackle choices.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

We need to somehow make Lansdowne Roads in goals the size of Murrayfields. Lethal off a goal line drop.

Stop the clock

Willie Le Roux is a big loss for South Africa.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Would be so nice to have a fast wing...

 

[big ginger 8]

Nash has been good today but feel Hansen would have created a linebreak, think a pass before contact to Ringrose would have been the better option than an offload.

Is playing the 9 not a rule anymore or just not for Dickson?

if it's the one where faf shoved Murray Dickson verbalized why he was okay with it? Murray picked it up and the ruck had collapsed so ball was out.

 

[McTallshort]

Come on Ireland! (Feel a bit dirty now)

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Fair enough, definitely hadn't picked it up though.

Crowley on a disasterclass here.

what is up with the lighting.

 

[big ginger 8]

That rip was fairly simultaneous with the tackle call imo, quite harsh.

Dickson is inept.

Thought Ireland looshead collapsed once the ball was in but SA tighthead went to ground right away but saved it. Probably should have been reset once that side went down but I guess a random penalty is better than the evil of a scrum reset.

happy to see the obstruction called but it needs to be more consistent.

Osbourne is Him

 

[ShropshireAllBlack]

Ireland better than I expected, but the bench will be the difference. 10 point lead is not enough methinks.

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

you think James Lowe looks at opposition wings the same way I look at professional athletes?

The guy with a try every other cap?

Doubt it.

Bomb squad on- gonna be a hell of a 35 minutes isn’t it

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Amazing how little we are missing Keenan and how much we're missing JGP considering their replacements are a lad with 2 caps out of position and a centurion respectively.
