    Should be a great game. But there are warning signs for South Africa. Rassie shooting his mouth off while Ireland are quiet. This feels like the Boks are a bit too overconfident.
    Cant wait.

    Seven Japanese based Boks in the starting XV. Am not sure if those players will be test match ready. Tipping Ireland to win a close one.

    I assume you mean crested their peak. Which we all know is a quarter final

    I doubt I'll even watch this game. I can't see it being good.

    the type of rugby they play can create epics when there is something on the line (RWC pool match) but when the stakes aren't as high, I think it will exponentially highlight everything that I believe is wrong with rugby.

    I see your point but if the Irish beat the RWC reigning champions I doubt they'll be very quiet about it...

    @Smuts If that 400kg of new front row bought on after 42 minutes, then yes, it's what's wrong with modern rugby.

    I follow literally zero coverage of Irish rugby so they can be as noisy about it as they want, but I won't see it!

    Ease off. Suggesting I'm not a rugby loving beholder is bit sad. Rugby used to come in a lot of different formats and I love a scrum smash up as much as anybody.

    I just preferred people like Aki when he was 15kg lighter, and front rows trying to hold it all together at the 70th minute mark when shit starts getting real, as opposed to being close to 30 minutes sitting on their arse on the sidelines.

    @MajorRage sorry. Was typed with tongue firmly in cheek. Obviously rugbylovers would be just as happy to see weak, cynical props broken slowly over 80 shattering minutes.

    @MajorRage you working on becoming the most prolific poster in a thread about a game which you can't even be bothered to watch, because you've bizarrely decided it's a shit game? Yeah, that guy.

    Yawn. A recycled shit meme.

    Personal attack followed by a shit meme sums you up very well Bones.

    If it wasn’t for me there would only be 4/5 posts on probably the biggest match ytd. I think there something in that.
