Today’s Rugby Union

[Ric]

Ireland currently 22-3 up against the All Blacks at half-time. It’d be an incredible achievement if they get the series win over there.

All Blacks pushing hard now. 3 points behind going into the last 20 minutes. If Ireland let this slip, they'll be gutted. Very few visiting sides win a series down there.

 

[Ric]

Great stuff from Ireland. Historic achievement.

I hope that Wellington has ordered extra beer tonight.

That was impressive, excellent stuff.

Get in there Ireland

Crazy some of the players are still young doing it in New Zealand just shows the job that the management have done. We still need to kick on good luck to all of the other teams today let this be a domino effect. Its strange Irish rugby has done a great job at grassroots levels if only our football team would do the same.

 

[MacD]

Unbelievable what Farrell has built on top of the Schmidt era. We need to sustain this for the next year as we’ve historically peaked the year before World cups & then flopped.

 

[Uncle Wally One Ball]

Brilliant achievement that

 

[Protein Junkie]

Congratulations Ireland.
Very strong at Regional level and it’s translating through to the National team.

Quite a remarkable time for Rugby Union. Last weekend the Six Nations teams beat all the Rugby Championship teams away.

I'm guessing that was a first.

Congratulations to Ireland and I hope their good run and the other Six Nations teams (apart from maybe the French...) continues into the World Cup.

8 minutes gone and that’s 3 soft penalties conceded already. Making it hard for ourselves in time honoured fashion!
