@JohnBFergo I got my tickets baby!!!!! I have three game, but now I am a bit broke 🤣

Anyone else so excited about Rugby World Cup Tickets but nothing is happening? Whats the go? Any tech heads got some answers? #RWC2027 #RugbyWorldCup

@PlanetRugby I do not believe that. There is no way they would fire Razor without some sort of plan

🗣️ "It's completely open. We're going to cast the net wide." #AllBlacks 🇳🇿 New Zealand Rugby have 'no one in mind' to replace outgoing head coach Scott Robertson and get the All Blacks on the 'right trajectory'. 👇 planetrugby.com/news/nz-rugby-…

@mark_keohane @SharksRugby It could be as long as 4 years. That would be crazy but it is possible.

Agreed Brenden. I will be surprised if it is anything less than a year. You feel for @SharksRugby losing their marquee player, but it does give Eben's body a rest & has him ready for 2027's RWC. #Springboks

@seanfz @CianTracey1 You mention 2 illegal head challenges on O’Brien. One was Sacha, what was the other?

@CianTracey1 Let's have a look at SA penalties not issued shall we. Two dangerous and illegal head challenges on Tommy O'Brien, the off the ball tackle on Prendegast that allowed SA to score a try, coming in from the side of the ruck on more than one occasion.

Ireland conceded an average 12 penalties per game this month. It’s easy to point to the scrum penalties against South Africa but there was an array of offences that spoke of a team who lost their way under huge pressure. This week’s Breakdown: m.independent.ie/sport/rugby/ci…

@seanfz @CianTracey1 Let’s not even get started on the number of penalties the Irish players got away with for coming in from the side. They should have got more cards.

@Lt_Dangle314 @Dreamchaser4132 @Nigelrefowens Sacha made first contact with obriens shoulder. Ryan made first contact with Marx’s head. Very different incidents so differ results

@Dreamchaser4132 @Nigelrefowens If you don’t think that’s card worthy you’re watching the wrong sport. Classy as always

I want @Nigelrefowens take on this because the discussion between Carley and the TMO made zero sense. That dog don’t hunt.

@bensmithrugby More what? More turn overs at the rucks?

Louis Bielle-Biarrey showed why he should’ve been WPOY from the four nominees. More in one Test than Marx’s entire year!

@ChalynRugby He is very good but Marx was far more influential in winning many for games this year

Can I be honest? Louis Bielle-Biarrey should’ve been World Rugby Player of the Year 2025. Eight tries in the 2025 Six Nations, Player of the Tournament, and he helped deliver the title. A winger’s job is to score tries, and this guy does his job better than anyone right now. The game against Australia today showed how lethal he is and we can’t deny his record for Union Bordeaux Bègles in Top 14. Robbed ? 👀 #FRAvAUS #Rugby #Top14 #France

@failtesheff @jimFlanagan_ No dude, once you have calmed down and rewatch the game you will see the Irish did this to themselves by being very ill disciplined and cynical

@jimFlanagan_ Totally. He really wants SA to win and he’s done everything he can to make that happen.

This is one of the worst refereeing performances I’ve ever watched.

@PaulVall17 @jimFlanagan_ First contact was should on shoulder. Arm was wrapping more than any Owen Farrell tackle

@LifeRugby4 @jimFlanagan_ The 1 that wasn't given.

@Jemane_C I bet you he gets less than 4 weeks ban which is what Lood got and this is far worse than Lood’s incident

With all the noise around Lood and Sous’s straight red cards, it’s pretty strange how this was only 20min red. Always illegal, tucked shoulder, no mitigation. Will have to wait and see if this will get looked at by citing commissioner?

@failtesheff No dumbass, Ireland were dirty and undisciplined. The ref blew the game as well as he could. A few mistakes Botha sides, but he was very lenient on Ireland in the 2nd half. They should have got a lot more cards for cynical penalties

@TightFive_Rugby I absolutely love the battle of the scrum. If you change the scrum, then lefts change the lineout, change the rolling maul, change the backline play. This is rugby, it’s a fucken tough game

I fear we’re well into the ‘not enjoyable’ territory now. Can’t blame South Africa at all, but this is the most disjointed game I’ve seen in a long time. Just put them out of their misery.

@ChristyElsom Is this not a card?

Only wrong decision that half was not to bin the SA 10, all our yellows completely justified Actually James Ryan’s should’ve been a permanent red, that was wrong too They’re miles better than us. Wake up call is finally here #IREvRSA

@andrewhdonohoe @Vlamkop @jim_demps Direct contact with the head. Should have been a red card

@LifeRugby4 @Vlamkop @jim_demps Leading with the shoulder, tucked arm and no wrap. So always illegal No, as most do not lead with shoulder like this

That’s one of the dirtiest shots I’ve seen in the last 5 years. Filthy. Ban him and ban him big

@PaidiSull Present your evidence. First contact was shoulder to shoulder with more attempt to wrap than any Owen Farrell tackle

Clearly a shoulder to head. Ref bottled it and TMO's wording helped him. Absolute joke! #ireland #southafrica

@Ringo26 Also we should do something about the guys running so fast at the 100m final at the Olympics, they keep breaking the records and running too fast

Ok, if world rugby wants to do something about scrums after this game I get it. #IREvRSA

@PatMdluli Carley did a great job dealing with all the chaos

The referee is giving us some proper refereeing. This is good. The match is fire. #IREvRSA #G20SouthAfrica

@Terencem2 @GoodBadRugby What are you smoking buddy? Please send me some because that must be mind blowing shit. How can you look at those two incidents and think they are the same?

@GoodBadRugby If Ryan was a red then so was Mnegomezulu

What. Is. Happening. 🤯 Ireland Down to Twelve... James Ryan’s yellow upgraded to a red, then yellows for Sam Prendergast, Jack Crowley and Andrew Porter. Thoughts on those big calls? 👇

@ExiledPaddy62 @GoodBadRugby Also how is this not a red card? Last weekend it was a permanent red card

@GoodBadRugby Terrible officiating & that Synman was brought back on. Several bad TMOP & Ref decisions. Feinberg not even yellow! AIs have proven to be bad with officiating.
