Yeah…I thought BOK let us away with an awful lot in the last few minutes just to let the game flow.

That’s just brilliant for Ross, over the moon for him.

Thought he was unlucky tbh, got out of the way and the ball was available but he was stuck on his back then and couldn’t move.

Yes Ross! Delighted for him!

A Ross Byrne drop goal to win this would make it worth watching.

Doris has been unbelievably good again. Best 8 in the world for my money.

I was expecting a cracking game and cracking atmosphere

I forgot Keenan was playing until he went for that catch, quietest game he’s had for Ireland I’d say. He cleared up the kick trough in the first half but not much else.

We’re not being helped by JGP not having his best game but we’ve changed our style too much to take pressure off Crowley. He looks pretty comfortable out there to me, if we trust him I bet we’ll improve a lot. We look surprisingly lethargic in general though. McCloskey has been fine but I think Bund...

That’s some collapse from NZ! Foster probably in trouble now! Fair play to England, much improved in the last quarter and great belief and accuracy when it mattered.

That’s great refereeing, don’t think I’ve ever seen that given before.

Doesn’t seem to work with Farrell at all. Super talent, think he may need a new coach to get the best out of him.

Surely Eddie is in trouble if this doesn’t improve? England still in it of course but have been a rabble at times and obviously it’s been a rough couple of years now.

Noticed last week that England in the middle of the pitch were incredibly lazy in getting back against Japan. If NZ collect the ball I don’t think the england defenders will get back.

This is the best I’ve seen NZ’s pack in a long time. The choice of Barrett at 6 to bulk them up is working really well with England having an awful balance to their back row with Simmonds not doing the dirty work of a blindside.

Scotland 7-8 Argentina, 22 mins and Argentina's no. 7 sees red for a shoulder charge to the head. Fully deserved, IMO. I don’t disagree with the decision but I don’t think he meant to do it. Didn’t have much of an area to hit and the way he kept his arm down makes me think he wants to hit around th...

Wow! Might be a bad thing for us now if they finally sack Pivac. I wouldn’t turn down winning a 6N, but fluking their way to that title last year was a disaster in the long run.

You already know the answer. Its the amount of smoke the meeja blow up your holes after a half decent performance. I enjoyed this match for what it was. Entertainment. Nothing more. But we both know that all ye have to do is string 3 phases together and some in the meeja are declaring ye the baa ba...

Australia is a much better team than the totality of its recent results suggest. I hope that our team do not take to the pitch tonight with the complacency about the fixture that is so evident in the media, otherwise, they may be in for a rude awakening. I think that’s why Faz was angry after the F...

I had a sneaking feeling Australia might win this until I saw the weather, think that just tips it in our favour because they won’t be able to play at the pace that causes us problems for long enough periods during the game. I’m very happy that Big Joe is on our bench but some difference between him...
