There's very little point in that new law if you can mark from the kick

Nah, that was the 3rd ruck already that Ireland have had a player come out the back to slow it down. It’s a tactic of theirs and the ref is onto it hopefully
I was looking mainly at the man solidly over the ball. I didn’t think the Irish lad at the back was slowing it down too much.
He’s blocking players coming in to clear, they do it all the time

Master cheats at the breakdown and have been for years.

Watch them also hitting rucks from the side to disrupt the 9

See, at least he's consistent

Very good defensive set from Ireland there

Now that was as clear as a laying down in the way “trying to get out” as I’ve seen.

Hold on to the fucking thing.

Posted: **Fri Nov 08, 2024 8:36 pm**

We need to look after the ball a bit better

Posted: **Fri Nov 08, 2024 8:36 pm**

This is a very good attack versus a very good defence atm

Posted: **Fri Nov 08, 2024 8:36 pm**

G-P slows down any opportunity to counter from turnover. Both SHs have been poor.

Posted: **Fri Nov 08, 2024 8:38 pm**

Laying all over the back of the ruck and then in the side. Come on ref.

Posted: **Fri Nov 08, 2024 8:39 pm**

I think I'd have taken the three

Posted: **Fri Nov 08, 2024 8:39 pm**

Bit harsh, I don't think there has been a straight throw yet and that one gets pinged.

Posted: **Fri Nov 08, 2024 8:40 pm**

Come on Berry. Don't you know the laws?

Poor handling, messy at the breakdown and inaccuracy at almost every stage.

Sure, it's tight and physical. It's pretty dumb and inaccurate though.

Posted: **Fri Nov 08, 2024 8:45 pm**

I just don’t know how with all the reviewing and training that goes on with refs that they don’t pick up on Ireland doing all this in rucks, it’s been going on for an age

I enjoy these games as much as I enjoy the Harlem Globetrotter stuff, the conditions are making it very tight and error-prone

Posted: **Fri Nov 08, 2024 8:46 pm**

Kicking the ball after an advantage usually means advantage over, right?

Kick is advantage over.

Now he decides to penalise going down in the ruck. Ireland have done it all game

Mind you, the last five minutes of rugby have been very poor regardless of conditions

I think you can be charitable and credit Irish dark arts for the loitering at the back of rucks and messing with clean ball, but wtf are the officials looking at when you have Irish players just blatantly diving around the side of rucks? I've counted getting on for a dozen so far that have been totally missed every time.

Posted: **Fri Nov 08, 2024 8:49 pm**

This doesn't make sense. Berry is the worst performer on fhe park and that is saying something

If it’s touched by Ireland then AB throw in. If it’s not touched then it’s out on the full. What was all that about?!?

Posted: **Fri Nov 08, 2024 8:51 pm**

Come on NZ, show some self belief. Ffs

Posted: **Fri Nov 08, 2024 8:51 pm**

Ire effectively operating with 3 locks? Not working out well for them at the lineout though.

The claim was his kicking foot was touching the line, checked by the TMO. Do you guys not hear the ref

Posted: **Fri Nov 08, 2024 8:53 pm**

At last he blows "not rolling away"

Posted: **Fri Nov 08, 2024 8:53 pm**

At last even the commentators are catching up with me

Posted: **Fri Nov 08, 2024 8:54 pm**

Starting to look that a warm up match for Ireland might have been a good idea

Would have been better if the officials had picked up the illegality at the preceding ruck which resulted in the turnover.

How is Berry ever given match time?
