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

@Mattasaurus said in Bokke vs Ireland:

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.

sparky

SA should scrum this.

C'mon give us some more TMO goodness

sparky

Ireland at risk of a penalty try and another card.

sparky

Tommy O'Brien in trouble.

here comes some more Slo-mo!

Ireland are doing everything in their power to hand this game over to SA.

sparky

That should be a YC.

Very lucky not to get a yc.

sparky

Ireland still under the pump.

Jet

Shoulder to the head.

Jet

Oh my god the refereeing is a fucking abomination.
