There’s a handful of good players in that Tonga team using the new rules.

Tonga could give us a good bit of grief.

Some big hits on Sexton would be most welcome.

Sexy is looking old !

As a neutral In want Tonga to do well but Ireland are my 2nd team and my ancestoral legacy.

Enjoy I just hope the ref bitching stops Er

I hope they fed Tamifuna or he is gonna eat someone

That's such childish arrogant post

What's going on with the balls. Same problem with prev game. Really annoying.

I can’t tell. Barnes is blowing it up so much it’s barely moved much yet.

Lol O 'Barnes

Barnes hates you lot

Has he called for an international tribunal against the officials yet?

O many you twat

Spacker

{EDIT} Get out of jail card played.

Barnes plan scuppered by plucky TMO

Only a matter of time before floodgates open unless Tonga actually try going more than 2 phases before an unforced error.

Last pass forward massively

This Barnes has decided the match
I'm out

That's a nonsense penalty. The tackled Tongan released the ball and Porter got his hands on the ball as the same time as the Tongan 9 who rightly wrestled the ball from him.

Lovely finish

Lovely try.

Physio bring on a KFC bargain bucket instead of a spinge for Big Ben

Some nasty cynical play off the ball from Ireland FFS

Barnes you corrupt twat

From the siiiidddeeee!

Err forward passes
