He’s had a complete shocker since he’s come into the game.

That was as easy as you like. Not a single hand laid on anyone in that move.

“That sort of team movement takes you deep into tournaments”. Yeah Ugo. Deep being a quarter final hammering from Ireland.

They deserve a try. They’ve played pretty damn well considering.

I’ve seen nothing in either the Italy game or this one that would give Ireland any reason for concern. We’re hugely vulnerable at the breakdown, we have big gaps in our backs and are slow to recover from a line break. We are the best team in that gap between the tier one and tier two nations. Too good to be tier two. Too shite to be tier one.

So, the Crusaders would beat them and the Chiefs would be a good hit out?ScarfaceClaw wrote: Thu Oct 05, 2023 8:39 pm I’ve seen nothing in either the Italy game or this one that would give Ireland any reason for concern.

France beat us. Ireland will pummel us. Sefrica hammered us pre World Cup. We should be grateful we’ve even qualified.Guy Smiley wrote: Thu Oct 05, 2023 8:42 pmSo, the Crusaders would beat them and the Chiefs would be a good hit out?ScarfaceClaw wrote: Thu Oct 05, 2023 8:39 pm I’ve seen nothing in either the Italy game or this one that would give Ireland any reason for concern.

Yep, it's been fun, but the QF is the end of the road.ScarfaceClaw wrote: Thu Oct 05, 2023 8:51 pmFrance beat us. Ireland will pummel us. Sefrica hammered us pre World Cup. We should be grateful we’ve even qualified.
The continual disruption to our top front row hasn't helped. Who's our next tighthead if Lomax is out?

And de Groot might be undercooked as well...
Cane looks nowhere near match fit either. It's worrying.
P taking apart, I would not write off NZ now. It's almost like the players have decided to give it a go 'our' way. If it comes off you still have the best attacking players from 1 to 15. And of course there is the ancient gypsey curse on Ireland to "n'er beyon a 1/4 shalle ye go!"
“It was a pet, not an animal. It had a name, you don't eat things with names, this is horrific!”
I never said that I am supporting them. 
Dude no one is expecting us to upset the Irish, but been fun times in pool matches.ScarfaceClaw wrote: Thu Oct 05, 2023 8:39 pm I’ve seen nothing in either the Italy game or this one that would give Ireland any reason for concern.
