Sloppy stuff all night but out of jail anyway. Could use the cavalry next week.

TheBouncer

I would have weighted the cup more alright and Furlong stands out like a sore thumb.

Holywoodbets sharks that can not be real

TheBouncer

I loved every minute of that second half, hard lines New Zealand that’s a performance to be proud of.

TheBouncer

What a second half by the all blacks

TheBouncer

NZ didn't drop the ball at all against us. 5 times already We didn't pressure them. Gave easy points away early and always chasing. I'm never watching it again but if there was ever a 'how not to play your potentially flaky opposition into the game'... Our pack was pretty ordinary, I’m not sure it’...

TheBouncer

Who in their right mind would ref one of these, a big call every 90 seconds. Anyway, this is pretty great.

TheBouncer

Their depth at forward is just staggering- it’s completely overwhelming. And Pollard is a notch or two up at ten.

TheBouncer

Probably been done... But I just watched 'Severance' on apple. Sweet jebus it's good.. as in one of the best things I've seen in years good... Anyone seen it? Yep, I watched it, it's great. On Mr Mercedes, I found the first season an utter chore to get through, so surprised it's getting love in thi...

What a year for Bundee.

You can only polish a turd so much. That was utterly shite rugby.

2 attacks in the whole match?
I thought it was a brilliant game.

Yup loved it. Perfect execution for an hour but the Bok bench is just too much.

TheBouncer

Our other World Cup exits never had me asking ‘what if’ in terms of us actually winning the competition. This one will though. Had we edged NZ we’d be favourites going into a World Cup final. Fine margins. It’s gut wrenching but I wouldn’t over react to that. Boks are a likely favourite next week. ...

TheBouncer

Loved every minute of it, I’m sorry England.

TheBouncer

It is outrageous what South Africa bring off the bench

Yup, this is a masterpiece.

This is a lotta fun. Striking how comfortable the England set piece is.

I think that the coaching ticket should be given another 6 nations to try fix what went wrong. They need to rebuild the team and address the fundamental issues that plagued our world cup exit. They have earned a chance to show they can fix it IMO If we show up and spend 2 months eating grass they’l...

TheBouncer

Going to be a tough few days on here. After the humble response from the Kiwis last night, the braying is starting today. Given POM and Sexton's demeanor and your insufferable pundit class the schadenfreude was always going to be strong. You know with the greatest of respect, i wrote that on this t...

TheBouncer

I just can’t believe how ineffective we were over their ball, they just completely hoovered us. It was the pack that showed their nerves and guys like Bundee and Keenan who kept things from getting away. Bundee basically being the best player in the world for 2 months going to waste is yet another r...

TheBouncer

Yeah he was great. Bundee and Keenan were terrific too. There’s so much you could pore over- to not contest that line out and still allow that Jordan try is just so unlike us.

In any other game you’d say the pack no showed and we still were an inch away. The fact it’s a quarter final makes it so frustrating. Aw man.

TheBouncer

Yeah the better team won. Some very nervy performances. Scrum is just not good. We go again lads, hang in there. The better team generally wins. If Ireland had scored at the end we'd have been the better team and deserved winners. That's how it works. Especially in a game like tonight's. Sure but i...

We can't complain.

The team was off tonight
Sexton’s like an old man playing golden oldies. Just shovels it on.

He’s a 38 year old being asked to play 80 because there’s nothing else, he is the last to blame.

TheBouncer

Can’t fault the effort but that was another underperformance in a quarter-final. Maybe not as bad as some others but definitely short of their best tonight. Maybe fatigue who knows? The same as every other World Cup, just a different degree, nerves. Some of the pack were unrecognisable for much of ...

I don’t know where to begin. Oh man

TheBouncer

He did 73 against South Africa apparently, that was not my memory at all. That is encouraging.

TheBouncer

If we lose because Foster picked that gingerheaded Scottish fvck to play the last 15mins of the game I'll be pissed! If he picks the ginger Finlay it's because he thinks the All Blacks will be leading with 20 to go... Roigard is who you need if 10 behind with 10 to go.. There's no way we will win t...

TheBouncer

Well prepared for the heartbreak.

TheBouncer

Love it

TheBouncer

I am trying to wrap my head around the early team announcement with so many apparently up in the air. What upside is there to it.

Play him 13 and move Ringrose to wing would be the best we could do

He’s not splitting Bundee and Ringer.

TheBouncer

Lowe, Henshaw, Earls train, no Mack.

TheBouncer

There’s every chance Healy just isn’t ready to play. I am not inspired by Kilcoyne in the scrum but he looks explosive.

TheBouncer

That’s as good an update as you could hope- would bite your arm for Mack and Henshaw.

Yup, organised as good a descriptor as any for Ireland, that’s not cutting it here. Reality beckons Saturday, I expect NZ will be in position to rest guys 4th quarter.

TheBouncer

"It's probably a little too early to say either way, but if they get ruled out (Earls and Henshaw), Jimmy's been waiting in the wings

Maybe nothing we’ll see.

TheBouncer

Maybe being positive, but I feel Lowe will play. So, does that put McCloskey straight in the 15 if Henshaw and Earls is out? Or would they keep him in reserve just in case? Hopefully we can still field: Keenan JOB Ringrose Aki Lowe Sexton JGP ==== Murray Crowley Big Stu James Ryan is a massive loss...

TheBouncer

Also if there was any question JOB is behind Earls, Easterby seemed to put that to bed! None of this is inspiring.

Anyway at least we have the spine intact- Aki and Ringrose have been wonderful. And the pack is getting better every game. Sheehan not skipped a bit.
