The IRISH RUGBY thread

Looks like last Sat's game was the final.

Or maybe this is the final.

"Puke Rugby"

Not surprising England the Tyrone of Rugby.

South Africa don't look like getting back into this

[RedHand88]

Beating South Africa in a group stage game looking less impressive by the minute

f**k that's a bad team. Ahead by 9, haven't even tried to form one play out wide, SA made many mistakes tonight that they didn't a week ago. All-Blacks cut the f**k outta them.

Nah they won't. The all blacks are poor. England have every chance of winning the world cup now.

How are the all blacks poor?

[Wildweasel74]

How? They can't even form 1play out wide, NZ will cut the life outta them out wide. SA kick the ball await to try get over the gain line, NZ run it.

This would be twice the bottle job that last saturdays was if the result stays the same

This is the worst all blacks team in a long time.

I agree. NZ are not a good team and are certainly weaker than four years ago. England were comfortable against them then and I think they'll beat them again.

What is being weaker than 4 years ago got to do with this tournament. England weren't a kick of the arse off being the best team in the world 4 years ago so was understandable they'd be competitive against them.

England have got every break going.. they are horrible to watch .. zero expansion
Commentary says it all" England are better without the ball"

But they won't care in 20 mins if score stays the same

[thewobbler]

Why the NZ apathy here?

NZ are a bloody good team. They might not have Carter and McCaw but they're exceptional at the breakdown and their basic skills are top class.

England (if they get there) won't beat them because they'll be up against a side who are more adept, more versatile, more clinical.

In their last 18 games they've won 15 of them. Its not like this is a team thats not winning games. They still won the super rugby championships at a canter this year

ABs breezed through yesterday. Didn't even bother bringing Barrett back on after the yellow card.
Whoever wins this arm wrestle will certainly feel it next week, just as the South Africans are this week.
