Got to hand it to Ireland. Somehow they are still in it

W32

Carly will decide who wins

Victor Meldrew

Good reffing. Hate that sort of fluffybunny shit.

sparky

Boks down to 14. This must be a record for cards in a Test.

sparky

Ireland finishing the stronger side, but probably don't have the time to win.

Okay, he's changed his mind. Back up to 15.

2 minutes remain.

Victor Meldrew

@sparky

Ireland now have the new record for most cards by any side in a Test.

sparky

Another Yellow Card.

Grant Williams off.

If you were playing the Matt Carley drinking game, you'd be under the table now.

Saffa defence is so impressive.

JayCee

I've lost count the number of cards ....

sparky

@akan004 They defend their goal line like they are defending their homeland. The All Blacks not so much.

sparky

80 minutes up. Boks will win.

JayCee

Ireland have improved since Chicago

Victor Meldrew

Boks are such a smart team.

Bones

Ireland making BB look like DC.

Bones

What a bizarrely passionate yet fucking retarded couple of minutes from Ireland.

I get the feeling that Rassie doesn't like the Irish fans.

Victor Meldrew

Imagine Carley reffing TJP....

sparky

All over.

Ireland 13 South Africa 24

Man of Mach: The ref of course.

If that game was a Friends Episode, it'd would be The One With All The Cards.

Bones

That was tasty. The more the comms got behind Ireland the easier it was to support the 1st and 2nd best team in the world and their amazing virtue.

The Irishman

Can't say I enjoyed that game, but the physicality and passion from both teams was impressive. Christ that scrum is frightening.

Really?

Their 10 was even worst today than I’ve seen all season. The harbour bridge passing was terrible.

The time or the attack.

Superb fight by the Irish after some appalling discipline,

As a neutral, that was an outstanding game to watch

@Bones I knew there was a reason we weren’t converting our pressure into points. Go support the Bulls or Leinster you keyboard curse. Away with your bad juju from Rugby’s equivalent of Mother Theresa, Florence Nightingale and that guy who chose not to patent the polio vaccine

You're a fucking inanimate object!

Carley’s arm must have been tired after that effort

Great win by the Springboks. Thought SMZ struggle a bit after the tackle but a great try made up for it. Rugby are win by the Forwards and the Boks was superb. Thought the high kicks were silly after they were down to 12. Its been a great year for the Springboks, we were spoiled.

@sparky said in Bokke vs Ireland:

Ireland have been a really dirty, negative team for such a long time. Good to see them getting their deserved.

Never had a a beef with the Irish but today they were lucky. Missed the first 38 mins but after that Ireland were offside every ruck, their scrum couldn’t stay up…honestly if the ref used yellow cards consistently they would have been lucky to have 10 on the field. Match that with their constant bleating (those NZers in their team seem to be the worst) they make themselves a hard team to like.

That reads like it is the Kiwis who are worse than the Irish!

@Bones so potent I’m a contradiction in terms

Cardfest 2025 - watched the extended highlights so was interesting enough, not sure how I would have fared with the whole match including stoppages.
