The IRISH RUGBY thread

Good win, I'm surprised we held out to be honest, on another day we lose that. It's only a step and with the All Black's likely waiting we'll hardly get carried away.

It's a psychological blow for SA after the run they've been on. Big big arm wrestle this evening. SA going nowhere without a goal kicker. Playing the Tier 2 nations you get away with it by scoring try after try but not against the best when every point counts.

Two weeks rest to the Jocks.
Huge result - no injuries, no cards.
A reliable kitchen kicker for the South Africans and it might have been a different story.
Having a fully fit Sheehan for the next few weeks will be huge for the line out.

Think I'm ready for the bandwagon.

Might dig out my Irish jerseys circa 2010.

Pollard hasn't been there in ages, bit late to bring him up to starter

Not at their best but they are still the All Blacks and certainly have the skill and players to pummel any team. South Africa pummeled them pre tournament in London but they beat them comfortably in the The rugby championship so you never know

A great night for ireland, that was a fabulous result. Lots of mistakes by both sides doesn't take away from the result for Ireland.

It is still unclear whether or not Ireland would be better off facing the French instead of the all blacks. At least we won't be taking for granted whoever we face in the quarter finals.

They seem to be on a similar trajectory to Tyrone

Worse NZ team since 1998, bad manager, but even a poor All Black team can turn up on the day and turn us over, still a no. Of good players there,
