You gotta love beating the Boks. Hopefully the Welsh might make it a NH double.
Great performance from Johnathan Sexton too.
Most enjoyable game. I do so enjoy seeing the bullies bullied. and how much they whinge about it.
Ireland are really lucky to have found a replacement for O'Gara who can do so much more than kick too.
O'Driscoll - makes me wish I was Irish 🙂
Chuffed for the Irish, a well deserved win. I love seeing the saffas lose.
I really really hope the aussies thrash Wales.
I only caught the second half Dez, but agree with you completely. There's a massive of sense of, I dunno...almost relief in Ireland at the emergence of Sexton. His nurturing to international level (along with Tomás O'Leary) has been very well executed - despite excellent seasons for Leinster, and a definite dip in form by O'Gara in the 6N, they still kept him out of the limelight until he was ready. I think the England set-up could learn a lesson in their endless search for a new Johnny.
I really like Kidney's management style. He leaves the coaching to the experts and works on the spirit and heads of the team - always liked him at Munster too.
As for O'Driscoll - well, there's nothing one can say. Though, today, I think belonged to the forwards - as you say, really good fun to see the Boks being bullied and harried in possession - their whinging just makes it all the more enjoyable.
Awesome result!
C'mon the Taffs.
Has there ever been an irish game where it doesnt all come down to the last few minutes/seconds?? Good match!
Good to see Sexton play so well. Known him all his life and watched him grow-up. Smashing lad too.
Well done Australia. Great game.
The Aussies were outstanding today - looked like Wales could have been knocking all day and they weren't going to cross that line.
Aussies very very good today, we got beaten by the better team. Cant complain. Paddies did very well.
Not having a laugh at the expense of the Welsh, but Gatland's and Edwards' faces were a sight for sore eyes.
