The IRISH RUGBY thread

[seafoid]

1. The Irish squad is probably the best we have ever had in terms of versatility .

2. Sexton is injured again. SA will probably target him if he plays in the QF. A number of players have been banjaxed following crunching tackles including that Scottish player
Hamish Watson. How should Ireland deal with this threat ?

Beat Japan in the morning and they can all have a two week rest until the Springboks....South Africa suppose in a fairly similar comfortable spot barring an upset of epic proportions.

Not great here to be honest. Not playing to our obvious advantages

Getting their fill of it from the Japanese.

Japan play it out wide to great effect, we in turn can't string 3/4 passes out wide as we just kick possession away. Not even using the heavier pack to out advance.

You get the feeling we could get done here!

Definitely. Their control of the game has been very poor. Mistakes leading to handy penalties. Japan don't look like tiring.

South Africa ate Japan in a warm up game last month, so it doesn't ode well for us.

Usual world cup choke from Ireland. Beat Argentina for fun everytime then meet them in the world cup and always struggle. Send the c team to Japan recently and win the series comfortably come to the world cup and we are lucky not to being stuffed here.
