I don’t know if I’ve ever watched one where the audio isn’t a giant ballsup. I’m assuming that because they are televised or streamed they do want these things to be watched, or there is a want from rugby public to be involved. You almost never know what the question was that coaches and players are...

I gotta agree with the decision to hoof it back to the Irish at the end there. How many actual phases did they run through there? I was stunned we didn’t give a penalty.

sonic_attack

Definitely. More than showing the can beat the All Blacks they’ve shown that they can really turn it on and play awesome regardless.

Neutrals will say unlikely, but Argentina aren’t a bad side.

sonic_attack

Yep, I wasn’t confident either. The chance of two more games to watch regardless of what happens sits ok though.

I feel the chances of stealing the show are even less than the probability of surviving beyond Ireland are.

Still, a chance however unlikely is still a chance.

Very poor there, assuming the numbering was farmed out to local industry and they screwed it. The person who did it would have been watching in horror. :lol: Somehow level 7 clubs get this right Happens. I’ve done it. I managed to screw up an entire order of a local team a couple years ago. Individ...

Sexton in particular does more head shaking than one of those bobble head dogs in the parcel tray of cars. Almost like he has some ability to dislocate his spinal column at the base of his skull.

He didn’t do much squawking tonight though.

sonic_attack

Thought the Irish invested quite a lot in having Aki step back inside which was pretty much completely shut down and achieved nothing.

Fair play to them for keeping at it, but you’d want at least something to come from it having so many attempts.

sonic_attack

That kick from the base of the ruck by Ardie 5 meters out. I’m sure he fumbled and knocked on just prior to hoofing it.

sonic_attack

It’s just dawned on me how good the ball handling and basic skills must have been in this game. Apart from line outs and a couple scrum penalties the time in play must have been quite the aerobic exercise for both teams.

A yellow card here, a red card there, and it's possible. Those two would have to knock each other out in the semi to reach the final wouldn’t they? I just don’t see two teams that meet in a semi final ultimately meeting again in the final. https://www.rugbyworldcup.com/2023/pools Ahh, sorry forgot ...

Even if the final is Argentina versus Fiji? How is that going to happen? A yellow card here, a red card there, and it's possible.

They couldn’t do worse than the current lot. If Germans vote Scholz and his tree hugger buddies in again to continue the clown show, they definitely deserve what’s coming.

sonic_attack

Just watching the Argie V Wales replay now and am reminded how the Argies actually play a lot like us. Which should provide a pretty entertaining game.

Hopefully Lavanini doesn’t get carded early to completely ruin it.

sonic_attack

Dickmo handling the Halfback posy for 10min worth a shout too.

I think the difference being the Springbok do have three+ top shelf in a row performances in them. They can consistently bang them out and aren’t susceptible to the wild swing in performance we have shown.

sonic_attack

Saffers haven’t survived beyond pool play yet either.

sonic_attack

Where the hell does management take the All Black selections this week? I kind of get the feeling the biggest reason for a decent team performance tonight was keeping them hungry to play by holding them back. I don’t believe these guys have three in a row top shelf games in them. They haven’t shown ...

sonic_attack

Terrific win for the boys tonight, but it’s in the dustbin of history now. Will Chieka’s Argies see a final appearance come unstuck? Win or lose, we still have another match... and when you're a smaller team every game counts. Specially after a start as horrible as the one we had. Your boys did goo...

sonic_attack

The potential of this group of players have always been there to see, they got the basic skills right tonight. Quite a lot of that game though Ireland looked the better side, or the framework of Irelands game was a lot tighter.

Foster lives another week, fair play to him.

I wouldn’t be betting against the Fijians at this stage.

sonic_attack

Sexton still shaking his head

Couldn’t beat a team with 14 men on the field for 20min. Simply not good enough.

sonic_attack

Ahh well. Onto the next victim.

sonic_attack

What the fudge? Barnes with the yips to be sure to be sure.

sonic_attack

Never should’ve been in that position. What the fudge was Barnes looking at in the penalty ruck?

sonic_attack

Need another try right now.

sonic_attack

That’s how you do it. Nice one boys.

sonic_attack

What a f**king ridiculous call to say that ball was out. Unbelievable.

sonic_attack

Oh fudge off Barnes.

sonic_attack

Good cameo at half for dickmo. Well done.

The ol straight up and down. If you’re going to kick, hoof the fucker down into their in goal.

Reckon Ireland should be holding the ball while they have an extra man.

sonic_attack

Good fight so far from the All Blacks. I get the feeling they’re going to have to score early and plenty. Two quick tries to hang onto. Ireland looking pretty sharp with their system of rolling upfield with multiple phases. In fact Ireland looking the better team which surprises no one. If they stra...

Happy to see Swarbrick hold her seat. Regardless of what you think of green ideology she’s a bloody champion for New Zealand.

sonic_attack

Another good kiwi try.

Good solid buildup to it.

sonic_attack

Too easy now. That’s just catch ‘n pass.
