if BBBR can unleash his full-on beast mode, then Ireland are in for a scare. On his day he’s still the best player in the world.
It's been 4 years since he's been the best luck in the world I fear. Love BBBR, but I really hope you're right

@nzzp keeping all 15 on the park v quality opposition is quite a big thing for us too.
I do agree with above though, if we do manage to beat Ireland I reckon we make the final, and that is a one off, no matter who.

I'm probably more nervous about this game than the 2011 Final. Just hope the new sofa doesn't get the same teeth marks.

@Victor-Meldrew I have a family thing next Saturday, and one of my cousins partner is Irish...he told me to wear something green...which I may do especially if we win.

I have an Irish-supporting acquaintance who's an utter, loudmouth prick. I'm preparing a meme around Green apples, Sexton and "How'd you like them apples" in case we win...

Logic says we have no chance against this Irish side, knowledge is that we have Fozzy who has been cooking up a masterplan, which involves bringing in Aaron Cruden for the injured Dave Havili, so launch PTSD from that all-time choke in Dublin.
Bring it on!

He's not even our best lock.
Next week is about territory and defensive accuracy. If we can slow them down and get scoreboard pressure, we can win.
Sadly, I don't trust Barrett/Mo'unga to do that with the boot, even if the forwards lay the platform, so in reality we will win by scoring tries.
We need an opening 20 like we had against Sth Africa early in the year.
-
Maybe Fozzie has set a trap on how everyone expects us to play, if we can go back to the fire we had in TRC early matches, we can certainly win...
While this Irish side is good, I think they are smarter than they are good.
They are gaming the rules perfectly, and it's thier discipline that keeps them on the right side of the ref to exploit the rules.

Crazy to be nervous when we're are clear under dogs. Anything apart from a drubbing will be a bonus

No Beaver and no Cruden. 🤦
But at least downtown is there 😂
I mean come on, both world cup winners and one kicked the winning points in the final to break a 20+ year drought.

When you said Downtown I thought you meant Ross Brown ...
And Fox?
