The IRISH RUGBY thread

[gallsman]

Wales' soft group hid how bang average they are, regardless of some minor improvements under Gatland. Should have lost to Fiji, beat a dreadful Australia. A few of them like LRZ believe their own hype a bit much.

Argentina have recovered well from their embarrassing opener against England but whoever wins tonight will have no excuses for but making the final.

First example of managing the schedule and planning performance for when it really counts.

Wales were over confident whilst it looks like Argentina had this weekend planned well in advance. I fear we could see a similar outcome later.

Bad start already.

[RedHand88]

Warra start

[Blowitupref]

Sloppy, nervy start by Ireland so far. It gets worse, a try for New Zealand.

[Itchy]

For all the rugby heads, this is the difference between challenge games and championship.

[Armagh18]

Mayo start the rugby?

[seafoid]

Too many penalties conceded.

[clarshack]

Bloody hell it's going to be an humiliation at this rate.

Bloody hell it's going to be an humiliation at this rate.

For all the rugby heads, this is the difference between challenge games and championship.

Must be like when an inter county team like Armagh or Derry feels like they are going well and then they meet a traditional powerhouse like Kerry who maybe aren't going well going into the 1/4 Final and get tanked.

[RedHand88]

They will never ever ever learn.... late late show next week?

[Blowitupref]

Try for Ireland, finally playing to their capabilities now. 13-10.

[clarshack]

Fair play have clawed it back.

[Blowitupref]

Try for New Zealand, all came from a poor irish line out.
