Ireland vs South Africa, 2017, November 11th

It is the big moment. With all the quarrel due to WC hosting conflict, time for rugby on the field.

 From the SA players's face, it looks like a mighty incoming game. SA are out of their depth in the north and they know it.

This could be considered an unnoficial playoff for the rights to host the world cup in 2023

 SA already under pressure. The green tide keeps pushing them back.

 Already one SA man down. First scrum.

 And it is for Ireland, the physicality of their game is a huge issue for SA so far.

 That's 3 to nil. It is going to be hard for SA as their limited approach to rugby requires them to take the lead as soon as possible.

Totally aimless kicking

Some of our players have all the talent but no brains. #SOS

 The kicking game has started. Unsurprisingly, Ireland comes on top with good, well thoughts kicks. SA keeps losing the ball, many turn overs already, they cant conserve the ball and Ireland physicality is huge on them, they keep suffering on the collision front.

Ireland offside....not being picked up.

 Already 9 to nil, all from the boot. The green tide press is too harsh for SA to sustain.

SA is unable to move forward by one foot without kicking away possession, SA attack is too weak and Ireland physicial too much to break through.

 SA are already consumed by tackles. SA approach to the game is so defensive they can not put pressure on their opponent by attacking movements, they are confined to defensive work and it will break.

 And SA have just broken down under high kick pressure. it is a try

14 0 to Ireland and SA unable to progress to the 22 meters once.

Terminate rugby in SA.

 SA are manhandled. Hard to remember one positive outcome for SA, be it on set pieces or elsewhere. They are dominated everywhere.

The Irish are looking very dominant. 
Our breakdown is getting bulled. 

 Bloody Skosan and Kolisi, just throwing the ball away. 

 That should be 10  meters 

Ireland are aggressive....our guys are passive. Penalties galore.....and a bunch of players who once again are proving they shouldn’t be Boks.

The exit defence strategy is useless. Brendan Venter is like Lassie, he always hits the road when they shi-t hits the fan

The back row buffet continues. Kolisi is late for work,  Slouw Francious is nowhere, and Stephanie seems to be with the tight five

Louw has made 9 tackles and missed none.

Louw gets the turnover

At least if won't be 0 again 

Stephanie gets a turnover

 Poor kick from Jantjies 

Another brainless performance by slack jaw Dejaager.Would much rather have started Mostert who attacks the breakdown

Louw another clean steal, but ref finds fault....good work by Stephanie in next maul.

Bundu Acki is influentual

Should sub Lomp.....he is hopeless.

 Blood y beast, running away from his support 

 Blew 3 attacking chances

 Ag please Jessie, what are you doing. Can we please sub Jantjies and cronje 

 Ireland was asked to show pity for SA at half time. They are in control.

Some real garbage so far

 Going to be 20 long minutes.

Ref gets talked into another penalty

Delande was a one season wonder. He is hopeless nowdasys

 Subs are merited. Go Boks

 Kolisi has had a mare
