This is box office. Backing Ireland to get the better of the second half and pinch it as NZ tire.

What a start by the ABs. Don't think they would have dreamt this up. Savea and Cane have been relentless. Ireland still dangerous.

Wouldn't mind another look at that hit on Barrett from Lowe. Looked high and armless.

Chest and wrap - was a good hit but Lowe should’ve anticipated the Barrett much better

V bad start, isolated runners and getting turned over. Need to get the system right

Won't hear me complaining about Munster winning


The amount of quality within the Leinster squad is staggering though. Guess it does show the difference a good/great coach and coaching team makes to a great pool of players.

Tbh it was power that beat them - La Rochelle have a collection of the biggest players in the world. Skelton, Antonio, Botia and Aldritt in the pack, Danty in the centre as well….. big men

[Irishnev]

Nerves are up - they will come at us like demons from the off and they’ve their full strength side. We need to match them and stay on the side of the ref

I still can’t call it

It was a poor match. Lots of errors both sides.

Pretty much all the outcomes weee on the table on that potential yellow.

No action was probably the one I was least expecting. But it seemed that Tompkins falling was the main reason for the collision.

The English ref

I think he got it right. It’s a real minefield but Tompkins was falling and the Argentinian was already making the tackle.

Not sure.

Feels like they’ve altered how they’re officiating games as we’ve gone along tbh.

Wales made too many errors in what was a pretty poor match.

[Zapater]

Wow, Argentina first to book their place. Great result.

Don’t think this ref will be on Gatlands Xmas card list

Wales out. Argentina after the first 25 or so easily the better team.
