[2015 RWC] Pool D: Ireland vs. Romania (27/09/2015)

[beerholder]

Expect a +50 diff for Ireland. Romania always starts tournaments playing well, but they wear out pretty fast.

 

[The Jones Boy]

17 minutes in, and it's 3 all, its a disaster for ireland

 

[big ginger 8]

Incredible, think on first look he might have been in touch but great hands in the move.

 

[munstermuffin]

No try I'd say

"The crowd are chanting his name"
Bit of optimism from the Irish commentator :lol:
They were booing because they didn't go to the TMO initially!

In fairness I doubt 90000 Irish were booing it.

Great start for Zebo though.

 

[big ginger 8]

Think we're in touch again, didn't draw the men well enough.

Actually on replay try great finish.

Tommy Bowe TRY

Wonderful skills from Zebo

France were losing at that stage weren't they.

 

[big ginger 8]

I'd nearly say that should be a yellow, I think that maul was going over the line and that was incredibly cynical.

 

[Jockstap]

Surely that's a yellow for the 8 collapsing that maul?

 

[big ginger 8]

Great pass from Zebo and finish from Earls.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Some noice tries so far - Zebo and Earls both very lively.

And this is the big concern for the Ab's to win the world cup? Easy kiwis, the cup is yours...

 

[munstermuffin]

Zebo is having a super game so far. Bowe showing he's a clinical finisher. And Toner stepping up to his challenge too playing to his strengths.

 

[McTallshort]

Who are Ireland playing? Only ask because the commentary team havnt mentioned them once

We don't have the same depth, our seconds will never be as dominant as theirs, we'll still win this game by 50 points though.

 

[The Jones Boy]

Irish 2nd XV are doing fine.
Romania are a tough crowd, they are organised and they don't give up easily.

 

[bw245]

Don't know why Keith Wood is not happy? Apart from a few handling errors we've gone sound. Gameplan is clearly wear them out

 

[snoopy snoopy dog dog]

It's all Ireland but they're not clinical enough. The lack of pace and penetration in midfield will cost Ireland later in the tournament. Back three look good.
