If it means the scrums get completed without fucking around, just let him at it.

Yeah the binding in scrums and off feet at rucks isn't being policed overly well.

Ireland look as if they know what they’re doing.

Two penalty calls inside the 22 there for the Bokke.

Fine but don't ping anyone for it then.

It's the inconsistency that pisses me off, it gets reffed according to reputation not what actually happens

Or 3-7 Great game all the same
You’re on 70% possession. Should be further ahead.

Ireland’s forwards have had the best of the last 20 minutes. That’s giving them a clear advantage in the rest of the field and freeing up the backs. Sefrica getting knocked back across the park.

The amount of roaring at penalties you’d have thought Itoje was playing. They’ll have sore throats in the morning.

SA heads went down after that Irish try I think, they need to get to half time and calm down.

Fuck me Ireland are a good team. Really thought they were going to get blown away and capitulate half way through that half but they end up the stronger and making SA look like they are holding on. It’s very impressive

Irish scrum being favoured by the ref and irish players playing the SA players jumping to catch before they get to ground.
But the boks got themselves to blame for not scoring more

Why have SA stopped challenging the Irish line out.

They were getting physically edged with there lineout going to shit but recovered from both and ended the half on top.

He’s picking up the Saffers lying the wrong side of the ruck and moving away slowly. 3 pens that half for it. Ref in our game against them let it go the whole game.

You mean the two free kicks for early engagement the ref upgraded to a penalty?

Sexton taking some treatment tbf. And getting up again.

Derek, Keenan and Aki doing great.

Be interesting to see where the momentum goes at the start of the second half.
