Strauss delayed, ref penalised. It's not making for great viewing from an irish perspective

Strauss threw the ball away in order to get another ball as it appeared flat. Ref gave a free kick to USA then. The USA player mentioned flat ball before he kicked it and ref said "I don't care"!! What a ref!!

It was an Irish line out, I looked down for a second and then the US were taking a free kick, anyone?

Terrible ref.

Marshall attempts to spark an attack all by himself, and it almost worked! He broke down the blind side off the base of a scrum, chipped and almost regathered!

USA will be buoyed by all of this but in truth a limited experience Irish team is making them competitive.

Straight down by the USA, ref cops out and resets..

Ireland butcher their latest attacking opportunity by giving away a penalty on their own lineout.

Oh no another scrum

@Seamus. You're dead right, both teams have failed to penetrate the defencive line with very one dimensional play.
