Ireland V All Blacks On Beeb2 Now

[ChillDoubt]

Anyone watching? Ireland are playing with an intensity I've rarely seen, even from the AB's themselves.
12 minutes gone and they are 14-0 up.
Yes, the AB's will come back at some point but Ireland have them rattled, we are in for a humdinger!

[ChillDoubt]

19-0 with a conversion attempt to come! Kearney with an interception try, this is unprecedented!

[ChillDoubt]

Conversion hits the post! This is sporting history in the making, Ireland have never beaten the AB's.

I changed channel when I saw your post appear.

Jeepers, 19-0. Well!! Go Ireland.

(19 minutes gone when I changed channel)

[ChillDoubt]

C'mon the Celts!

I was so wanting to see the Haaka )sp) love it, the AB's is so much better than Tonga et al.

Was listening to the radio last night before I zonked out, I'm sure the guy said Aussie 84, Fiji 0

eek 19-5 oh help. Come back time?

[ChillDoubt]

All Black try, under the sticks too.
Ireland have got to ride this and maintain their belief but more importantly MUST get the next score IMHO.

[ChillDoubt]

The Irish are like men possessed, this is amazing stuff.

[albaqwerty]

oh boy!
It IS a humdinger!
What a battle!!

The Haka? Legalized cheating. Why should the All Blacks be allowed to pump themselves up physically, and gain a significant psychological advantage, while their opponents are expected to stand and 'accept the challenge' ? It's just a form of riualized abuse. Oh, and while I'm at it, the 'great' Richie McCaw gets away with murder: often offside, handling on the ground, in at the side. It's only in the past couple of games that the refs have actually penalized him. Go Ireland !

Have no fear, Nige has got his card marked already, he'll be watchful.
22-7, Sexton pen after some great Irish pressure.

[ChillDoubt]

No let up in the intensity and Ireland are maintaining it.
Won't be long before a bit of AB indiscipline slips in I feel, they're not used to someone going toe to toe with them.

[ChillDoubt]

Ireland in their 22 AGAIN!

[ChillDoubt]

It comes to nought as Darcy knocks on but Ireland recover and it's half time. 22-7.
Simply remarkable.

[ChillDoubt]

Ireland holding firm as a lot of unforced errors begin to creep into the AB's game. Nail biting stuff!

[albaqwerty]

That was a sweet interception by Ireland about 5 mins ago.

Am I missing something or is the ref allowing the game to flow nicely?

[ChillDoubt]

Ireland are even stealing lineouts now!
Just over 30 minutes to go, c'mon Ireland.

[boxtops]

Brilliant match, we're really enjoying it.

[ChillDoubt]

Welsh ref alba, we like to keep things going and make it a spectacle!

[ChillDoubt]

AB try attempt held up, everything going the Irish way....

[albaqwerty]

loved it when the ref had a glug of water!

That's civilised.

Nice ref Chill :-D
