Looks decent enough to me.

The irony in this post

If moaning about something that hasn't happened isn't attention seeking, I don't know what is

[Dave T]

That looked like a tackle round the face! 

[fieldofclothofgold]

The pitch look in very good condition 

[shrewsbury roughyed]

Myler stripped that from his own team!

[Chrispmartha]

Screen is on about a 5 second delay! Bit annoying 

[Dave T]

Did well to hold them out under early pressure Ireland.

The big screen at the stadium?

[Guest]

Is that the first forward pass of the tournament?

[Dave T]

That's a harsh call imo

[Futtocks]

Forward, but only just.

NZ had a few questionable ones before that too!

[north yorks trinity]

Not forward. Another example of the decisions favouring the bigger teams.

[N2022]

Silly thing was it didn't 'need' to be forward - he had space.

They're probably pirating the Fox League 502 feed.

[shrewsbury roughyed]

Ireland getting some tough calls. Correct ones, but tough 

[DavidM]

The commentary said New Zealand were at full strength , which is interesting seeing they have Nikora at centre . That’s not at the level of a lot of other areas of the side 

[Guest]

Looks like Hicks is going to make this a whistle fest

[north yorks trinity]

Also (and I didn't see it clearly) but wasn't that a double knock on with NZ knocking on first? 

[Guest]

Ireland looking to win this 2-0?

Exactly what i thought i saw.

[Chrispmartha]

Why do they keep playing cyprus hill theres no need

[N2022]

I'll make one other point - when fans of football lament poor player behaviour and say you never see rugby players appeal, they are talking nonsense.. NZ gesturing for anything marginal and they aren't the only ones this tournament shaking out shoulders, pointing to perceived injustices. Difference is more that they don't fake stuff or surround the ref to seek cards.
