This has been a terribly disappointing RWC for the Pacific Islands.

Jesus these Irish are such insufferable tossers - every fucking ruck there's some twat in a green jersey staring at the ref, waving his arms trying to whinge a penalty.
Maybe off the field this Irish squad are decent blokes, but on the pitch they are piston wristed gibbons.

Tonga have been arguably the best non tier one side at the tournament outside of Japan. Certainly up there with Fiji. Showed more than Georgia, Italy etc.
Samoa were the second last team to qualify for the RWC. If they don't pull finger soon or nationality laws are relaxed (and it seems they are going in the opposite direction) then 2023 may well be their last RWC for a while.

Canada and Samoa. 2 teams going backwards.

Ireland play a simple limited gameplan but it’s generally pretty effective, provided they stay in touch on the scoreboard. If we go out to a series of pick n go and rolling mauls would be pretty poor though on our part.

More tactics by Schmidt. Lads - one of you is gonna be taken out by the All Blacks so we’ll need to practice with 14 men. Bundee - you’ll have to take one for the team...
If the ABs took out an irish player, wouldn't it be the ABs playing with 14...?
Don’t be silly. New Zealand carded???
😂😂😂😂😂
Yeah ... NZ never gets carded ... ever ...

If Bundee Aki gets a ban of a week or more thats his rwc over I guess.
He'll probably get the same suspension as the other players who got a red card for the same offence (repeat offender Lavanini excluded): mid-range entry point of 6 games reduced to 3 games.

He has to be treated same as any other red carded player. So a three game ban is the minimum he should receive. Hopefully the judiciary don't bend the rules cos he's an Irish player.....

Haha Fonotia butchered that.
Yep, held onto it for far too long.
Sums up the state of Samoan rugby when he is getting a run.
Three ex-Mako in that Samoan team - Lam, Niuia and Fonotia - I don't think any would make our starting XV this year.

Yep I failed to see the now obvious hilarity in your post after your previous thigh slapped about the abs getting carded with the obligatory smiley emoji afterwards.
While I’ll be the first to admit NZs ability to produce decent comedians is on a par with BODs ability to take an injury without whining about it for a decade . The Irish on the other hand seem to be able to churn out world class comedians the same way we do world class openside flankers .
Which makes me think you might want to send a saliva sample to 23and me, if you think that’s all that funny your ancestry is in doubt . -

okay. Think I'll just park it up on this hill over here and we both just walk away and don't look back.

While Tonga looked better at times, I felt like they and Samoa were about on par overall.
The close result against France and today's win mask 50 minutes of passive effort against Argentina and an effort that screamed "damage control" against England.
Samoa's discipline let them down, but they still thrashed Russia 34-zip, and were more active across the entirety of their 3 matches.
