YC incoming?

ACT Crusader

Not sure who these commentators are, but they are at their cheerleading best

JayCee

It's not that bad IMO

I'm listening on Radio Ulster. Balanced and impartial they are not.

6mins before we get first TMO

sparky

Penalty, no YC is my call.

Tordah

Red Card for me, horrendous tackling "technique"

sparky

And the refs. Good call.

sparky

Ireland go for the corner.

Noisy Dublin crowd. Many of who will have been in the pub for most of the afternoon.

sparky

Very good goal line defence by the Boks. I hope the ABs are taking notes.

JayCee

Never looked rattled SA during that defensive effort

sparky

Great atmosphere.

ACT Crusader

Surely not? Springboks dropped two high balls.

But they are the bestest ever…

gawd the Irish players appeal a lot

Victor Meldrew

As a traditionalist, love the Oirish changing their jersey.

sparky

Ireland go for goal.

He's hit the posts.

Ireland 0 Boks 5. 20 minutes gone.

sparky

Tadgh Beirne goes over, but it's going to the TMO because of a Ryan clear out that looked a bit dodgy.

ACT Crusader

This ref is pretty solid. But the fact he has so much influence further highlights everything that is wrong with the game.

More TMO

sparky

That's going to be ruled out and perhaps a YC.

sparky

Pissed Irish crowd not happy.

The Irishman

James Ryan is a fucking idiot

sparky

YC for Ryan. Illegal clear out that made contact with the head. Going for a RC review.

Should be a 20-minute Red IMHO.

YC
As much as i hate them .. you can't blame anyone but Ryan ... that was dumb

sparky

Prendergast unconvincing at 10. Fluffing kicks. Looking unsettled.

ACT Crusader

Poor kicking by Ireland after Boks error

sparky

Good game. Much more entertaining than Wales-NZ.

sparky

Some of Ireland's kicking is really poor.

sparky

Bok try number 2. Venter in.

sparky

But the TMO is looking at it for a forward pass.

sparky

Ruled out. No try.

Jet

The amount of haranguing of the ref is unreal.

sparky

And the bunker ruling on James Ryan is a YC upgraded to a 20-minute RC. Correct call.

Not sure anyone can argue much with the RC

Nailed on. One of the dumbest Reds I've seen.

SA could wrap this game up in the next 12 minutes. Ryan is a moron.

sparky

Penalty try incoming?

sparky

No, just a penalty.
