RWC QF: All Blacks v Ireland
-
@taniwharugby given that he was scratched, he’s probably on the way or at least got his passport ready. But big call to insert him into the squad and therefore rule out TL for the remainder. Does feel like one of those stories waiting to happen though.

The only way we win this is by nailing our exits, play for territory, maintain discipline, protect the pill, solid set piece, dominate D and build scoreboard pressure. Pretty much exactly how Ireland play.
There is no reason why we can't deliver all of that. We match that, the "team" part, I reckon we have better individuals.
Something about the sum of the parts ...
-
The crowd will be predominantly green as well.
It's an uphill battle.
A battle we must win.
F' in come on! -

Agree, we have seen it in parts, but it’s the consistency which is tough. Ireland are consistently good, but the beauty of knockout footy is we only need to be marginally better on the day.

So glad we have extra wingers up our sleeve

Is that to replace Lowe?
-
Right. Everyone has their opinions on coaches and players. But the time for that has passed. This week is all support. Shove the negativity. Come fozzie, Sam and the lads!!
-
@BerniesCorner would the French in the crowd want Ireland or us?
Assuming France were to make the final, you reckon they'd love nothing more than smashing us in the final?
-
I think they'd rather play us

3 more games for Sir Foz

Reasons I hate the Irish
O'Mahony and Sexton are whiney mouthy cockheads
The fucking carry on after every little thing that goes their way
Zombies is the worst song of the 90s
BOD and his victimhood
James Lowe - Chiefs (53 caps)
Jamison Gibson-Park (Hurricanes 13 caps, Blues 30 caps)
Bundee Aki - Chiefs (25 caps)
Mack Hansen - Brumbies (21 caps)Obstruction
Ruck shenanigans
Farrell is a low breed league player and Owen's dadsI hope we destroy another set of Irish dreams

And people wonder why I think we owe the Irish.
They are a very good team. They are also a bunch of fluffybunnies and ex-kiwis.
They have fucked up our shit enough, it’s time for us to fuck up theirs.
I hope we are good enough.
NB: I will moan about selection

Reasons to like the Irish
Won a test series in NZ
Have won 17 games in a row beating all the top teams.
Took average Super Rugby players and made them great international players.
Built a team rather than relying on individual talent.
Innovative attack that walks the obstruction line but gets away with it.
Amazing discipline.
Excellent defence.
Excellent structure and plan.
A coach that knows what he is doing. -

If we do those things it will allow our backline a chance to shine

Jesus, there are a thousand ways to beat this team. Some carry on like they are invincible and we're scrubs like Scotland.
Fuck me get some pride!! We're gonna do them by 12-15
