I've never encountered a Brit that admits to watching GB News, do they exist? I assume UKIP/BNP types that drive white vans, read The Sun, have soccer tattoos and are proud Brexit supporters despite the complete shame and embarrassment it has brought to their nation? So glad that demographic doesn'...

Awful game of Rugby to watch and bad for the game

Wonderful wonderful event, f you weren't an outsider.

There was amazingly intense months long, build up to Saturday night's match. The pressure on both teams and their coaches and staff was huge. But when it was over, we saw, that even at the ultimate level of physical challenge, there was huge respect No cheap shots, no constructed foul play or cheati...

Irrespective of these laws disputes, if I were a Springboks fan and the teams meet again. I would balancing how worried I would be about the Irish getting their lineout right or Pollard having the nation's weight on his shoulders to get his kicks right.

Can we at least agree its not judged in the same category as Stampy (no-bitey) Healy? Was that the time Coles gouged him and he showed his eyes to an unresponsive ref and then took his vengeance?

You're the one team where it is every player. Some teams are worse than others. Fijians are stoic. French are emotional and in between. And Ireland are the other extreme from the Fijians which makes it look like a deliberate tactic. Even the Boks didn't do as much talking to the ref. You're just bi...

Van der Flier nor any other Irish player, coach or official mentioned it afterwards.
Enough.

Is that because we're a greater threat to France? Who knows.

There are a lot of moving parts in a lineout. It's not always just the throw. Right on. However, a few seasons ago, we were lineout kings. Either we have changed something, are making bad calls or we are being predicted by the opposition. I don't know. Maybe it is just for a few matches, but our li...

Trostan

Whatever the lineout problems are, POC needs to get a handle on it, if we are going to progress.
Kicking penalties to the corner or 50 22s only work if the lineout is functioning.
A lot of our scores come from our attacking lineouts

Trostan

Time in was fine. The Irish player off feet before the collapse (swimming over the maul) was penalty to SA. Not that they would have made the kick. or thrown any subsequent lineout in straight. I agree. Not a fan of O'Keefe but I thought he did well overall. Yep. Springboks make a fraction of their...

Ireland 2019, Ireland had Schmidt running the strategy from off the pitch.
Springboks 2023 have Erasmus running the traffic lights from off the pitch
2023 Ireland has Farrell running the game by the players on the pitch

If both 10's are targeted and Sexton goes off, Libbok's exit will be more dramatic,
Crowley will do a fine job.
Libbok?. No replacement, no distributor, no kicker.
C'mon POM. It's only a yellow card.

Ok the game in morning (our time), and boy this is a game that's got me drooling (finally) in the cup. Just seeing these 2 go at each other as a neutral is just great. I really think Irish are probably playing best style of rugby I have seen from anyone in last few years, they are so bloody good (a...

When asked about the 7-1 split, Farrell looked very pleased. It's almost like he was trying to hold back his delight. I'd be delighted too if I was Farrell. Boks would be a much scarier side if they emphasized their talented backline some more. They have the players for it and would be more balance...

We lose, the main thing is we don't ship too many injuries and that it's not a blowout. It's not fatal. I really want us to win though, it'd be huge psychologically. I do have this weird feeling SA are just going to come out the blocks and stun us with two quick tries or something. It's different f...

Is Dupont critical to the defensive organisation? Probably not.
Maybe not as an organizer but definitely as a key pillar of our defensive system.

And Mack Hansen would agree
