Re: Did Ireland Choke their QF match again?
Can anyone tell me the last time Ireland conceded 11 turnovers while only winning 4? That's what makes it a choke for me. They were profligate. They didn't play the way we're used to, this wasn't the clinical Ireland side of the last 18 months. ... and non of that was down to the AB's of course. :r...

It’ll be a very different Ireland team by the next World Cup. A lot of players wrong side of thirty.

Aussie need to take a look at themselves. They have a team fully of niggly shithousers, and were at it all day.
And they had two tries chopped off for niggly shithousery.
Say what you like about the rest of the game, they lost because they indulged in petty shite around the breakdown.
