The Kinghorn experiment (at this level) has failed. I never want to hear a bad word about Russell again.

[cabbageandribs1875]

nice try 29-6 that should be enough

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Some turnaround from the first half performance.

[weecounty hibby]

Much better 2nd half so far. More accuracy from Scotland but we have got a a bit lucky a couple of times

[cabbageandribs1875]

some great defence there

I think Ireland might just beat the All Blacks. Thats most intreaging game for me. I think SA will bring their big guns back and beat Wales, Scotland to beat Argentina. England v Australia you could flick a coin!

Great day today though for the Northern hemisphere

Don’t see it. Ireland benefited from a red card today and probably won’t get that next week. The AB’s tend to win when the chips are down, especially at home.

Definitely the most intriguing game though as you say, will be interesting.

thought Ireland definitely got the rub yesterday

the first all black yellow was extremely harsh in my eyes, the guy is already in the air trying to block the kick, where is he supposed to go or get out the way? It’s a penalty for sure, a yellow seems ott

similar with the red, horrible clash of heads, I think the all black is caught out by the change of direction with the inside pass, and neither player can react to move their heads out the way. I get the argument that the tackler has the greater responsibility to get lower or avoid the head contact, but that to me is more about guys hitting opponents in the head with their shoulders or arms.


also, separate to that, whoever the Irish co-commentator is, is ridiculously biased, demanding penalties and cards constantly, never giving credit to the opposition, just whining constantly

The expectations being placed on Blair are insane. He's been exceptional for Edinburgh at 10 this year and has shown that in flashes for Scotland. I'd agree, he's not the best player we have at that position - Russell, Hastings and probably (eventually) Thompson all look more comfortable there, but Blair definitely has a future with the national side. I'd perhaps agree that future shouldn't be at 10, but he's a good player!

Thought Scotland were excellent second half. Huge difference with Darge and Hamish back in.

[davy67 +]

Great victory for Ireland over the New Zealand Maori . Pretty decent game

Yeah I agree he has been good for Edinburgh (I’m a season ticket holder) but he isn’t a 10 at this level.

He was supposed to be the natural successor to Hogg at FB, it’s quite unfair how he is being punted around different positions. It will hold him back.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Here we go, what a great days sport we have ahead of us.

NZ v Ireland to kick us off.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

22-3 Ireland approaching HT.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

22-17, Ireland on a yellow card.

[Sylar]

NZ coming right back into this. Ireland temporarily down to 14.

17-22

[Sylar]

Bah, 22-32 Ireland.

The thought of that is horrible. That knock-on is game over here though.

Good start to the day, plenty more to come.

i hope SA don't win it, they just seem to be all about power



what odds for a full sweep of Northern Hemisphere wins today

i think both England and Scotland will win

[weecounty hibby]

That is a great result for Ireland. They have grown and grown as a rugby nation over the last 20/25 years and we have stood still. Fully expect us to be Argentina but no way would we have won a series in NZ.

Agreed on SA. Glad they aren’t part of our Autumn Nations fixtures. They’re brutal to watch.

I have a feeling we’ll win today but fancy South Africa to beat Wales. Not sure about this one. Hoping for the Wallabies obviously!

7-3 Aussies
10-3
