Argies are using their backline a lot. Not much kicking

Maybe only 1 or 2 would've made it to Springbok. Paul Willemse and CJ perhaps Mehrtens never as boks had flyhalfs in Joel Stransky, Hennie Le Roux and Die Lem Henry Honiball in that period. Even the 2 frontrowers battled against Boks in their WC game. Mike Catt never as Springbokke had the Rolls Roy...

No injury. It's Vermeulen, eu and not the ue. Who is the player on your avatar?

ZuLurk

We can't run the same risk the French did by playing Dupont till '54 against Namibia of all teams.
Etzebeth till '40. Other players that needs careful playing time management perhaps Pollard, Vermeulen and Kolisi.

My understanding is that your based in Ireland now. Is that the general Irish supporter's view?

34/50 68% prefer to play nz.
Nz have ironed out a few problems since this pole started though and will be a more difficult customer than they were at the start of the WC.

There definitely seems to be a new rivalry building between the two nations, directly as a result of the URC and these tests. The URC will definitely add a different dynamic to the rivalry, but they’ve had a pretty competitive match up at test level for some time now. Since 2000, 15 tests with Irel...

Not to say it Will happen but it Can happen by a TMO Red Card. When it comes to Red there is no distinction between an accidental head contact and a deliberate no arms high tackle. There are Grey area Rules that can still swing a game by TMO decision.

So Portugal to win +16, Math rules.

Portugal lost to a Wales B side while Australia lost to Wales A Wales A is 30 points better than Wales B
So its Australia by 15 over Portugal if one follows this beats that so far reasoning.

Congrats Ireland!
You have the sharpshooter for the QF and your breakdowns are good. You can go with confidence. Bit of work in the lineouts though.
