South Africa have strongly indicated how to beat Ireland. They out-muscled Ireland, disrupted their line-out & put them under pressure. Without ball they were vulnerable. With a international class kicker South Africa would have won ... FACT! New Zealand do not have the same cattle as RSA up front t...

I see France is still favourite to win WC Only slightly ahead of Ireland though. But I can't see them beating Ireland myself I think NZ has the best chance of all teams left to beat Ireland but I think, like the bookies, NZ is not the favourite for their QF I think people are forgetting that France...

Foster knows the AB set-piece is relatively weak & going to get pumped by SA, France & Ireland. Playing for longer against Ireland is kinda risky ... it's the Saffers who want minimal playtime & maximum crunch. But when NZ had their first choice starting 8 this season they pumped SA :? But next up ...

He flagged it a few months back.

Unless it is paying his bills, he needs to look after himself.

Multiple other OSINT entities should have been preparing to move in & take his reporting space if they want to get noticed.

They have regressed from the Communist Days when the Army ran the rugby team.

But it would be cool to see them get back up & competitive against Tier 1 nations in the next decade.

Flockwitt wrote: ↑Fri Sep 29, 2023 9:54 pm Italy finding too much space on the edges in that last 10. Shades of what will happen against Ireland if they're who the ABs end up playing.

But so late in a near 100 pt game ... not necessarily representative of the next challenge. IMHO
