Can Ireland pull out a France ‘99 after the break?
Re: RWC QF: All Blacks vs Ireland: MATCH THREAD: Sat 19 Oct
They're suffocating us defensively. I know we've made some shit errors but there is still plenty of forced errors from pressure.Duff Paddy wrote:Yeah it’s mostly us being shitDOB wrote:They're not really.

NZ aren’t playing that well to win this.

Risk the All Black's will be undercooked for the semi? This is like a tier 3 nation got invited into the quarters.

They've probably decided there's more sport to be had stinking up the Brexit thread again. They have a point.TopNacker wrote:Where have all the Micks gone ?

Clearly the experiment isn't working out and we need to go back to the tried and tested.
Sub out Sexton and bring in Carty.

Ireland haven’t really turned up, knocked off their stride right from the start.

This is like a 6N game that Italy are in, you were looking forward to it, until 10 minutes in you realise how shit Italy are, but its Ireland

Aki has a little smirk! Even he's finding this irish performance amusing.

Ireland needs to slow the game down and tighten up in the second half,just play 9 man rugby.
Re: RWC QF: All Blacks vs Ireland: MATCH THREAD: Sat 19 Oct

Re: RWC QF: All Blacks vs Ireland: MATCH THREAD: Sat 19 Oct
18 months too late for this Ireland team. Both Wales and England bullied them physically in the 6n.

We've been off the boil at other RWCs/tournaments and pulled out a big performance when an occasion demanded it. We've barely turned up at this RWC. It's like we got onto the plane after 20 v Japan.Diego wrote:This is how we've been for this RWC most of the time. Not good enough.BBB wrote:Ireland well off their best.

The Irish are complaining their arses off at the officials, ref needs to reign that shit in

How do we ever expect to score with one out passes and a slow recycle
Re: RWC QF: All Blacks vs Ireland: MATCH THREAD: Sat 19 Oct
Why do Ireland’s backs all run towards the ball?

Ireland have a maul going forward and they choose then to pass it out to perform the same backs move that isn't working.

Right, Schmidt. Get Istanbul 2005 and Anfield 2019 on the screens at HT. IT CAN BE DONE.
