Rugby World Cup 2019: Ireland vs. Russia | EXTENDED HIGHLIGHTS | 10/03/19 | NBC Sports

[@Tokoa144]

I remember way back at the first World Cup in 1987 when the All blacks posted a record score against Japan. By memory, it was something like 145 - 0 with Marc Ellis scoring 5 tries.. Look at where the Japanese team is today, giant beaters. So take heart Russia, everyone must start somewhere & build a following like Japan did. Just don't get so good too fast cos nobody wants to go to Russia for a World Cup, it's too cold!

[@shaunthomas6]

That was 1995, was 145 -17

[@Janeaustin_music]

I remember football World Cup 2018 in Russia, so many people died6 it was that cold

[@nwchi234]

Ireland did leave some tries on the field, but not a bad performance.

[@cathalodiubhain5739]

A shock defeat to Japan..22 turnovers conceded,conceding scrum penalties and breakdown turnovers and for 20 mins Russia were down 14 players for 20 min We.have to endure the unendurable. The Japanese samurai used to commit seppuku (hara-kiri) to restore honour. No imagination. Performance so far is utterly shocking.

[@davidcordial8287]

Can I just say, these are proper highlights! If you missed the game, this would make you feel like you saw everything important. Not like the paltry things put out by more official channels

[@Uzi1967]

turn down the crowd and the background noise so we can hear the refs and commentators please

[@RadicalCaveman]

Rather sloppy ball handling on both sides. Congratulations to Ireland for the win, but to be honest they still didn't look that great, except for that gorgeous final try. --an American pulling for Ireland

[@h8evil685]

Either Ireland is holding back or that was their Best. We'll see when they meet the All Blacks in Quarter Finals... I cant see them topping their Pool...

[@geewhiz4924]

For the love of god please show the conversions

[@h8evil685]

SIR,,, THEY WERE ALL LEADING INTO CONTACT WITH THEIR FOREARMS... But Sir, How about the Consistency like the Call on Samu Kirevi... Sir

[@niallbrowne9129]

I agree that a Welshman deserved man of the match

[@ako1439]

I laughed at that. His accent slips in-between Gael and Saxon half a dozen times in these short interviews the players have to do. Beast of a game again, and we're on track to go past the groups, which is all any rugby fan can fairly ask for, or not?

(a) He is still punching up. (b) you guys need to drink more alcohol before commentating.

[@niallbrowne9129]

Humidity clearly much higher on the Russian side of the pitch

[@avarose6695]

hi, My name is Ava, most of y’all won’t even care but I get bullied for liking rugby and soccer and stuff, everybody says I have to be a proper girl and stuff. Yes, I know, it’s a sport, who even cares? Soccer and rugby isn’t just for boys and men.

[@danielcaetta939]

Show the conversions! Otherwise great highlights!

[@shane-irish]

No one cares about them lol

[@RadicalCaveman]

Show them, but not the leadup to them (the kicker's routine). Then everybody will be happy.

[@danielcaetta939]

@@RadicalCaveman absolutely that's what I wanted. No lead up just the conversion (or the miss).

[@llewellynviviers6374]

All blacks and Springboks will always be the two top teams.

[@laprankster3264]

In Ireland, you play rugby, but in Soviet Russia, rugby plays you.

Ireland still has a chance to top the pool. I think fare well if they play South Africa

Ireland are terrible! A world champion team would have put 60 on the woeful Russians!

Scotland just put 61 points on russia to nill

[@sandrarowley6765]

Ye if they keep playing like this they won’t win the cup

[@annamhaid4047]

A great win for the Irish rugby team but a sad, sad day for the irish team and nation when our very own national anthem isn't sang. That's abhorrent

[@odinbiflindi]

I can't see Rory Best and a few others singing amhrain na bhfiann to be honest.

[@mattybt400]

The anthem you speak of is the Republic Of Ireland's anthem. The rugby team you are watching are not the republic of Ireland.

[@fierriox1638]

rugby never been this messy lol

[@francois9747]

Oh really? You should watch Namibia vs Italy...

The referees dishing out cards like HIV is ruining the game. Russian players are committed to the clean out and already in motion while Irish player decides to sit on the floor.

[@niallmahon800]

Under the new rules that does not matter. Head contact is enough to give a yellow card, they were also off their feet and you must clear out in a controlled manner. Alot of confusion in the new rule set, hence the poor and inconsistent refereeing.
