GrumpyGnome Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 (edited) Although Ireland's tendency to try and influence the referee does get my goat (I'm aware they aren't the only team!) Yaay, ref just told Irish to shut up or he'll reverse a penalty decision..... Edited September 23, 2023 by GrumpyGnome Added text Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

extra slim Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 Good gracious, toe to toe, wow, every tackle, Ireland flew into everything as if it was the last tackle they would ever make. I’m exhausted. Enormous respect to both teams, and the crowd!!!. OMG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outrunner Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 Breathtaking, I don't think I've ever seen intensity at the breakdown like that🤯 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john stones 1 - Moderator Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 That was worthy of a final, and may well be, no guarantee result would be the same though, well refed as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
extra slim Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 Bang on John, the ref team was spot on, I caught their faces (ref and touch judges) a few times and they knew they were witnessing something special. When the officials look intense and focused, you know it’s a proper test match. BRILLIANT game 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrumpyGnome Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 (edited) This is when I get nervous for my boys........ against the aussies, we always seem to regret something 😞 (irritated at arms being raised like petulant schoolboys in the hope of influencing the ref; liked that Barnes told Jac to have a word with the team about chatting to the ref. I really AM a Grumpygnome!) Edited September 24, 2023 by GrumpyGnome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john stones 1 - Moderator Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 Enjoyed it. Wales are a hard, physical, well drilled side, you wouldn't want to be playing them in a knock out game. Scots got job done as well. P.S Spurs wus robbed.
