These games are typically eye bleedingly bad to watch.

I'm a bit worried that the Argies have always been a boogie team for us, & Dr Phil knows Leinster's setup inside & out, & they're on a good streak.

.... bottom line, we could end up getting reamed

I'd say some of the rustiness last weekend will have been worked through but the state of the lineout is a huge concern.

They're an erratic bunch. Turned up last week to hammer Italy, odds aren't terrible that they'll be lacklustre today.

Agree.

Been looking forward to this game but can’t for the life of me remember many other fixtures between the two of them

Edit: actually I was at one of them in the WC at Cardiff

That could go either way, hope it’s not a red.

Incredible fortitude from the young man to get up off his death bed and score a cracking try

Funny how the Irish who take these horrific head knocks never seem to need an HIA.

Weird that they didn’t have a proper look at either the forward pass or the grounding

An Irish player?!! Milking a penalty. Not even Space Karen would back you up on that.

Your 6 should be binned for hitting upright.

Can someone explain why Lowe wasn't offside at that maul?

No, but if it's deemed bad enough for a card and the recipient goes down like he has been hit but a truck, it's not outrageous to expect that he should receive an HIA.

Argie loosehead has missed some bad tackles so far, and he's looked a bit dodgy getting up both times.

Great attack by Ireland. "On field decision is try" :lolno:

How that can be given onfield as a try, the touch judge was right next to it.

Camera's very keen to avoid showing Irish foul play.

Imagine TFW the ref announces on the loudspeaker he's looking at foul play by you. :sad:

I didn’t think it was too bad until I saw he was also locking around the standing leg. That’s not good.

It was the slowest croc roll ever. He must have had plenty time to think not to do it.

There's no doubt he did exactly what he was intending to do
