Surely people have to question Schmidts ability under pressure..

Got my money on South Africa this half, just don't think the Irish bench has the quality to win this.
 
Evidence of what? You asked for nothing off me and only facts I have are laws.
Le Roux made a hit on TOH in air and he landed on neck/shoulder. Law states that a red. Any interference in air comes under tackle laws

What part of the law states that? He had his eyes on the ball, was on the air and his hands were aiming at the ball?

Don't have law book on me but it there. I sure you can find it on World Rugby. It was big issue when Payne was red carded. I'd ask more along lines of
If TOH was stretchered off would outcome be same?
Yes Le Roux went for ball but he didn't win it and has duty for player he tackles. Did he protect player? No. Le Roux was never near ball and I'd argue again this was worst than Standers and only difference here for sanction was TOH wasn't carted off

I know it is difficult but answered ages ago......

That WAS the situation but now each player has to consider his actions and the effect it may have on another!

The Stander incident and the one with Hogg come to mind but both "Penalty" Skelton and Willie LR had no realistic chance of getting the ball with their one hand and both should have been red - Skelton was not even carded for that (or a swinging arm later)!!

Well that a bit unfair here considering all disruptions of injuries I'd say he has achieved on this tour

Need to stop with the excuses, you were in a winning position last week, this SA team is on the rebuild and is quite honestly aawful. Need to take your chances by the balls for once in your rugby history and do something.

Ah we're three points down in a 1-1 series in South Africa without our best player. There are mitigating factors here, but I agree they're here for the taking, and we can win.

I'm 100% behind you lads, would love to see a historic result here.

Maybe that's the problem

I've produced evidence so maybe you can show why it not. Instead of being arrogant. Again can you show how Le Roux took care of man?
Or where he got part of ball?
What reason did he not deserve a red according to laws of rugby.

Lets see your knowledge so. And please provide evidence

Jackson could do with copping on, as could Earls.

I think it more tiredness setting in now. The freshness of SA coming through more now.

Why do we have Madigan on bench?
Like Schmidt rightfully won't play him as he's lwaving and Olding can cover 10. Would it not be better have another guy who they will play there.

In fairness Schmidt should be delighted. Got a first win in SA, Has developed competition more and seen guys like Jackson and Marshall prove they're more than capable. Payne proves he's a world class 15. Defensively we have jumped up few levels from where we were. Overall the positives smash the negatives
 
God damn it Ireland!!!!

Ireland officially the most frustrating team to watch in world rugby.
 
Unlucky Ireland. Gutted for you, would've been great for the NH to get more series wins than the SH. But you played your hearts out and you should be proud of even getting 1 win considering the players missing through injury. Had POM, SOB, Sexton and Henshaw all been there you would've won. Well played lads.
 
Faf de Klerk shouldn't be smiling too much, that abysmal kick he made with 2 minutes to go was embarrassing and poor. He's lucky to get out off jail.

Really gutted for the Irish, should've have won this test series. Joe Schmidt's lads are the ultimate "nearly" team.
