[RWC2023] South Africa vs Ireland (23/09/2023)

[TRF_Olyy]

Here's the think though if you going forward dominated in a 7:1 split, why don't you have clutch kicker? Pollard aside you need one for the tactic to pay off.

No kicker, no lineout thrower
Wild decisions

 

[Tooting Carmen]

No more dodgy than an Irish lineout from 10-15 mins earlier.

 

[IT157]

So no recognised hooker, and no one who can kick. Hmmm.

 

[McTallshort]

Don't be Wales Ireland

 

[Bluemoon]

They won't score. Ireland will hold out

They 100% should have put three over there instead of going to the corner. That was a silly decision.

 

[Jimbo]

No more dodgy than an Irish lineout from 10-15 mins earlier.

True but there always going to be more closely scrutinised that close to the line.

Plan falling apart at the seams for you know needing the basic if you plan to dominate through the forwards in an obviously tight game.

 

[IT157]

They 100% should have put three over there instead of going to the corner. That was a silly decision.

Would you back the kickers? I wouldn't

 

[Ddanno]

Ireland go early twice, penalty. SA early twice, free kick

 

[TRF_Olyy]

That was so ******* good from henderson
Faked the jackal then stepped through to counterruck/divert the player coming in to try and clear him out

 

[ncurd]

Ireland defensive effort has been immense.

 

[Tooting Carmen]

Beirne baby Beirne.

 

[Saintjay]

Borthwick drop goal special needed.

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Hanson taken out surely?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

He thinks he's George Ford

 

[Tooting Carmen]

Drop goal for Ireland?

 

[Bluemoon]

Would you back the kickers? I wouldn't

Right in front of the posts pretty much - I think you have to.

They 100% should have put three over there instead of going to the corner. That was a silly decision.

And I 100% should have banged Amanda Holden 1 night but didn't. Told you only score left is an Irish score

 

[big ginger 8]

Some shift from Porter.

Still not over this after seeing the replay
Genuinely could be a game winning intervention
Proper "use their momentum against them" move - if he'd gone for the ball he'd have been cleared out but he angled the SA player away and then Ireland flooded in from behind and counterrucked over and won the turnover
