Another less-than-stellar ref. The players deserve better.

Ultimate Rugby Aug 8

Ireland have had a number of opportunitties but are making basic errors. Kazakhstan win a penalty at the scrum and take a line out

Ultimate Rugby Aug 8

Ireland receive the restart and knock it on. Big scrum here for both sides

Ultimate Rugby Aug 8

Half Time and you would have expected a larger score in favor of the Irish. They defended exceptionally well though and you will expect them to kick on from here.
Kazakhstan have had a fair amount of opportunities but are very very flat on attack and are forcing passes causing handling errors.
Can they keep their attacking style in the second half and be more clinical or was that Rosser try the straw that breaks the camels back?

Ultimate Rugby Aug 8

Rosser dances her way through the defence with a little show and go as she attacks the line. A great step beat the last defender and she goes over. Ireland absorbed the pressure well and took the chance when it presented itself

Ultimate Rugby Aug 8

Kazakhstan spoil another overlap by not finding their players with passes

Ultimate Rugby Aug 8

The Irish are under pressure again as Kazakhstan string some passes and phases together. Fortunately for them there was a rucking error and Ireland can set up a relieveing line out

Ultimate Rugby Aug 8

Ireland are putting up a huge defensive effort here but can't keep them out as the attack was focused around the ruck channels and driving it up. Good try

Ultimate Rugby Aug 8

HUGE defence by Ireland as they hold up the ball over the line. Massive shove and great line out drive by Kazakhstan
