What a lovely rugby-filled weekend. Didn’t watch every match in full but managed to see a few minutes of some matches while watching all of others. Obviously delighted Ireland had a good start, though plenty to work on. Reffing standards have been pretty decent. From drop goals to dropped passes, from out of key anthems to out of beer stadiums, an interesting opening salvo. Thanks to all the rugby heads on mastodon for their commentary and fun comments.

36 hours away to watch #IrevRom at #rwc2023 and on getting home I now have a kitty who does not want to leave my side. #CatsofMastodon

The 82-8 scoreline doesn't flatter Ireland, but it also doesn't reflect how good Romania were, individually anyway

The Irish performance reminded me of the 1st test against the All Blacks last year. The systems worked well for the most part, but we were let down by a few forced passes and a few unkind bounces of the ball

Romania defended really well at times, but just couldn't cope with the slickness of the Irish handling & running lines

There are a few gifs that you could make to encapsulate that match. I like this one in relation to the last 3 minutes or so. #IreVRom #rwc2023 #RugbyWorldCup

Will be interesting debrief, big score but still plenty of mistakes ( Lineout, accuracy of passes) hopefully remaining matches won’t be played in such heat #IREvROM #RWC2023 @rugby

All joking aside, it was good to see us being clinical. We've often taken our foot off the pedal in similar circumstances. #IREvROM #IRLvROM #Rugby #RugbyWorldCup
