So basically over the last 10 years we have been screwed by IRFU while Munster and Ulster were allowed make big signings we were only allowed signed lads coming to the end of their career. We basically been left fend for ourselves by the IRFU!! It's a disgrace :P One really weird aspect of the last...

I still think it will be one of the springbok tightheads next. Yep Dmac and Malherbe is the rumour. https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Ftse1.mm.bing.net%2Fth%3Fid%3DOIP.fpvUBQT11sko31FGX4BiiAHaEK%26pid%3DApi&f=1&ipt=6f8263edc4afd79360f231a3f5ba7dee94f1cbd747b0fb247b2efac810d...

Stormers v Bulls tomorrow?

I'm watching that.

Zico

This is going to be a long game.

Zico

That was last year. Even then Leinster had our number before they fielded the kindergarten and tied their shoelaces together for the craic. Leinster by (comfortable)pts. It was only a couple of months ago? Are Munster the worst URC/pro whatever champions ever? We’ll find out this Saturday I suppose...

Zico

3-0 penalty count now

Zico

Two big calls against Ireland.

Zico

Ireland have the edge in the scrum.

Zico

Both sides are going to try spring a move in the first few minutes.

It's like a fastest on the draw duel and it could be the winning of the game.

Not really knowing what the TAB is.. assuming it’s a betting company.

If the Kiwis are betting against their own team to hedge against disappointment doesn't that screw up the true predicted outcome?

Meanwhile, when everyone in Irish rugby is ridiculing Welsh internationals for the upteenth time in the past 13 years, they are well on their way to their 3 RWC semi-final off the Gatland era and 4th in total. Let’s applaud them and stop running them down, history will show that there 2011 team had...

His reply: "on a level of 1 to Zombie, it's currently an Athenry"

He is a funny fucker in fairness to him.

Slán agus go n'eirí an bóhair libh.

That is a stonewall yellow card.

Zico

Well done Wales if they turn this penalty over.

Zico

Wales are doing what they do best. Ruthless.

Zico

Argentina need points soon for all this possession.

Zico

Boo!

Taking points is too sensible.

I'd fancy Scotland to win this game.

If Ireland had of had Foster the last 4 years... And NZ have had Farrell... Would tomorrow be even close? If Seamus Darby had gone to bed early the night before the 1982 All-Ireland Final? How insufferable would Kerry have been for the next decade? Would there have been a belief that the underdog c...

If we were to go out at the QF stage, it would hurt but I doubt that it would be devastating As a Leinster fan I'm numb to losing big games now. There's no fear of losing this game with Ireland because we've never been beyond this point. I'm just glad it might be Crowley rather than Byrne in the po...

I think we should send someone out there with the deliberate job of trying to wind up POM and Sexton and see if we can get either to lose their temper and do something stupid. Who's the most annoying bloke on the team? Scott Barrett can be a bit of a pest? Or Aaron Smith just chirping away? Dane Co...

Imagine in this day and age, all having the union jack on your flag as an 'independent' country? Being ruled by some jug-eared twat half a world away. Too afraid to go it alone. Pathetic.

I've wondered but never asked, why aren't Auckland the dominant team in New Zealand?

Or what's the advantage Crusaders have?

Zico

To a degree, losing a WC finals match sucks but you can always try again four years later, to lose to an Ireland or an Argentina for the first time ever or concede a record loss amount, you can never get that back, you’ve changed the legacy forever. In Ireland we dream of being in a position of tou...

The NZ TAB have dropped Ireland's odds of winning from $1.80 to $1.75. NZ punters must have been betting with the heads and not their hearts. Was going dollar for dollar early in the week. Now come the emotional insurance bets. I made mine yesterday. It's large enough so that if Ireland win, I'm fe...

I think New Zealanders generally have the philosophy of “every test counts” and a WC win is less redeeming compared to other nations. Some Tests count more than others though no? South Africa, England, Australia, France and even Wales would be considered more worthy opponents than Ireland usually f...

We have three New Zealand nations playing in our team lmao. I really hope there is no sudden loss of form from Aki, JGP or Lowe Sleeper moles. When they hear the first strains of the haka, they will once again feel their tribal magic, like hypnotised people when they hear their trigger word, and th...

They were too big for Irish heads so they settled on Flight of the Conchords T-shirts.

There are 27 member states of the EU, all democratic but not each system of government is the same.

The EU institutions are not perfect but they are a way to balance these different systems and still be functional.

Peter O’Mahony definitely said to Duhan Van der Merwe “you’re not good enough to be a springbok”

It's not that harsh when they're doing a 7+Kwagga split.

Ireland looks the goods but NZ might like the role of underdog. I'll support the ABs but wouldn't begrudge an Irish win. What a reward for playing so well in the pool of death to play sudden death with the ABs. If you're going to get knocked out in the QF yet again it might as well be to a great bu...

new zealander bundee aki must be player of the tournament so far surely. been in terrific form this WC. Learned his rugby when he got to Ireland 9 years ago. Even the Sky Sports NZ pundits agreed he was made in Ireland, saying he couldn’t make his NZ Chiefs team prior to departing for Ireland. He w...
