A-Hoy… will do so!
Go on Irelaaaaand
Ireland playing bloody well.
Is this the Banana-skin game for the Aussies?
Aussies is properly rattled by Ireland. Would love to hear PdeV if they dont win. Lets see of what metal they are made.
Would be nice for the Irish to win for the sake of the competition, but it will really screw a lot of people’s Superbru.
Ireland is going to win this.
Would be great tos ee Ireland get a try here..
Penalty Ireland, right in front….
Penalty Irieland.
Aussies in the POOOOOOO?
Penalty to Ireland, in front of the posts.
Ireland 15 / 6
@ Scrumdown:
My superBru is SO bad our Captain Superbul must be dispairing with me…
OGara AGAIN…Yeee
Aussies have been suckered in to playing too tight by the Oirish.
They needed to play a high tempo open game.
8 minutes to go and 2 scores behind. Eish.
You guys know what this means…. it means the Bokke would play the Wallabies in the quarters…
Don’t know if that is good news!
Australia where the hell is your composure
6 minutes to go… 9 points deficit
