Re: QF 4 - France vs South Africa - Sunday 15 October 23
We prefer to do our talking on the field. You lot can spend your time complaining about your coach and captain while the Irish tell each other how brilliant they are. :lol: Have you ever actually been on the Irish rugby thread? If when we win games, we find a way to have an argument with each other...

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
Stfu about Barnes ffs. He's a great ref and being a NH ref, we've had more exposure to him than the AB's do. No excuses- just go out and win the thing. This! We had one bad game with Barnes in Cardiff - and something over 80% win rate since then. We've learned to play him well. Barnes has stated hi...

Re: RWC Rd. 4 - Ireland v Scotland. Sat Oct 7th, KO 8pm GMT
Scotland shafted by the draw. I think they would have qualified from Group C or D. There is a big big gap between (1) Ireland, South Africa and (2) Scotland It is a disgrace that 2 of the QF are France v South Africa and Ireland v New Zealand. Best 4 teams by a country mile.
