Ireland Penalty… and we have a few handbags
why did the Yanks concede a penalty there, it looked like the Irish prop lost his bind and then the USA prop went up. Or am i seeing ghosts. Come you scrum experts
They opt for the scrum.. wise move
119@ grootblousmile:
Yes but after that (backs) and in the line out it should be anyones game.
122 @ superBul:
A Yank loosie offside just before… was playing penalty advantage
122@ superBul:
Ref will automatically penalise the scrum under pressure.
Good win in the defensive scrum by the USA there.
Paul O’Connel MOTM.
@ grootblousmile:
125
do you talk about that scrum were they walked the US?
Ireland penalty… not rolling away.
They kick into the corner, for touch
C’mon Eagles. Hold them out for 2 mins. My Bru is not too bad. If you can score a 3 pointer it’ll help.
Ngwenya shadowed and tackled into touch. 20 secs left.
Seconds left, Irish lineout
Intercept try for Emmerick, under the sticks… my Bru is happy
@ Scrumdown:
126
from the TV angle that was wrong, you see they blow with preconcieved ideas, not the real thing.
Intercept try on the hooter. 7 pointer Eagles.
GBS’s Superbru only a point out now.
Good result for the USA. Stuck with it for the full 80.
GOOOOOO BOKKE!!!!!!!!!!
Final Score: Ireland 22 / 10 USA
