Ireland vs Argentina, Autumn Internationals 2024

[Tichtheid]

Does that not just mean instead of giving a yellow and waiting for the upgrade

Well that's what I'm saying, if someone stabs POM they will get sent off with no replacement, team down to 14 for the rest of the match

Just did a bit of googling and it seems they were going to decide whether to make it apply to all red cards but have delayed that call. I must have misunderstood originally.

So the "red cards ruin matches" crew still have to fear their team's thuggery for now

Yeah my googling just now told me the decision was supposed to be made yesterday.

It would be a terrible decision if they did away with the option of the full red, it's bad enough with 20 minute red.


wow, great try Arg.

[Blackmac]

Wow.

[ScarfaceClaw]

Good try. Everyone just dropped off him. Some limp tackles in there.

[JM2K6]

How many stupid ways are they going to find to pronounce Montoya. I think the last was MountTodger.

Argentinian Spanish has some pretty divergent pronunciations tbf

[TheNatalShark]

Great work, fab try

[SaintK]

Fuck me that's a spectacular try

Superb

[JM2K6]

First bad thing Crowley's done. Not the best time for it.

[JM2K6]

The new laws around the high ball have not been kind to Ireland

[Enzedder]

Yellow carded for not having his camping gear.

The replacement Arg scrum half was lucky not to be pinged for blocking, I thought

The reverse angle did suggest he knew what he was doing. Saved perhaps by Lowe's cheap shot and being so far from the ball.

They've lost most of their contests when Argentina have put the ball in the air, it used to be a huge strength.

Man, Ireland are really sloppy right now.

In general they need to get organised before the 6N or they're going to get pinged off the park

[tc27]

The standard TV angle makes it impossible to see if a drop goal is accurate

[JM2K6]

Bit of a lifting tackle there...

[JM2K6]

Dreadful decision to kick and worse execution by Lowe

[ScarfaceClaw]

That’s a poor clearance by the Argies.

[Slick]

Dreadful decision to kick and worse execution by Lowe

And another one by Crowley that gets praised to high heaven

[fishfoodie]

Sexy Mk II is on

[ScarfaceClaw]

Prendegast isn’t the biggest looking lad. Couple of runs straight at him would be interesting.

[JM2K6]

After all that I don't want to hear another word from Irish fans about English youngsters getting over hyped

[ScarfaceClaw]

After all that I don't want to hear another word from Irish fans about English youngsters getting over hyped :lol:

I imagine Dan Carter is crying about all his records and performances about to be obliterated.

[Slick]

falls over his own feet, misses the tackle, world class

Hey, yea only had Smith to replace Faz; we've had a half dozen that failed to step up; we had to practically develop human cloning to replace Sexton

[Tichtheid]

WTF?

Arg won that scrum

[ScarfaceClaw]

WTF?

Arg won that scrum

Drove through and Ireland popped up. Tough call.

[Tichtheid]

Healy's been a real warrior over the years

[JM2K6]

Reassuringly old school fly half defence by the boy wonder so far...

Argentina architects of their own downfall in this period with some really poor clearances. Ireland turning down the three...

[Tichtheid]

Brilliant defence

[JM2K6]

Brave call. Didn't work. Ends with an isolated Prendergast doing his best but lack of support means they lose it.

Huge tackles being put in here. Some of the hits sound like a heavyweight going to town on the heavy bag in the gym.

[ScarfaceClaw]

That’s a great take.

[tc27]

Love a good counter ruck

[Tichtheid]

This has been a lot better for the neutral that it looked like being after 10 minutes

[ScarfaceClaw]

That was a quick call.

[JM2K6]

Ireland create something in midfield through Osborne and the team is so surprised they let him get turned over

[Blackmac]

WTF?

Arg won that scrum

Quite obviously as well.

[JM2K6]

That's a cheap shot and should be a red. No defending that at all. This will cost his team the game for sure.

[Blackmac]

Doris taken a head knock there but only because he was completely illegal as always in the ruck.

[tc27]

Dumb clearout

[Tichtheid]

Fucking stupid, that for me is a straight red for the Arg tighthead, he knew exactly what he was doing

[ScarfaceClaw]

And that’s just fucking stupid by the argies.
