Infringements around the rucks by Ireland are a disgrace. Pathetic. Hands. Feet. Bodies. Anything goes. Faf seems to have Velcro on his hands.

An almost entirely new way of playing from the boks. Tony Browns 4 man lineout love affair very evident. Bring on the bomb squad and roll the credits.

Luke Pearce would do well to do his job around the rucks.

And thanks to Billy and his crew of fat heads for ruining the scrum.
