Rugby world cup

[Gabriel_Hurl]

they are amateurs

Mark Robson is doing the game where I'm watching on Setanta

Is this the first World Cup (Rugby) where the Soldiers Song won't be played?

Think it was the same last time, and maybe even in 1999 IIRC, though most people only discovered rugby existed around 2000.

Scots winning 56-10.

Just read Ireland's Call was first used at the 1995 WC.

Stuff try. Ireland's hopes in WC doesn't bode well based on their performance so far,

[Tankie]

not looking good, but it is good that we are getting tested. the second half will tell us more when these guys get tired.

[ziggysego]

Hopefully having a tough first half will stand them good for later in the competition.

[ExiledGael]

Very annoying to watch this, shocking number of fumbles turnovers and other unforced errors

[ONeill]

Stringer's level of caution is annoying the hell out of me. You'd think we were playing the All-Blacks.

[ziggysego]

Ireland will be lucky to get out of the group stages based on this tonight. Another try for Nam

[Gabriel_Hurl]

pure and utter shite

[ziggysego]

Argentina and France will destroy Ireland. They are fumbling all over the place and the passing is terrible.

[ONeill]

I can only hope Namibia give Argentina a similar game.

[ziggysego]

I wonder if we'll still have one of the favourites tags after tonight?

[Tankie]

this is shocking, i have a feeling i may not need my q/f tickets

[FermPundit]

Bar Shane Horgan this is the same Irish team that destroyed England in Croke Park in March. Are they just badly prepared?? The warning signs have been there since the summer tour to Argentina in June.

Just as well that TV3 have the rights to world cup. Can you imagine George Hook's analysis of this Irish performance. He'd be callling for people's heads!!
