These Irish boys looked sharp tonight...
Game of the tournament going to be Japan v Scotland as this will make a massive difference to the top seeds run through...
I'm on the Japanese purely as I'd love to see the Irish v the AB in the QFs... one for the ages...
Would give the Saffas a clear run... so suspect you saffas be backing the blossoms too...
35 - Nil looks like final score... @ 79:29mins
Nah ... I thought they were rather clumsy.
Going through 10 phases without making much of an impression, especially against a lowly team like Russia, didn't impress me much.
Their scrum set piece was dominated most of the match.
They got their bonus point and I guess that's all they really wanted.
They're going to have to up the anti if they wanna compete with the bigger boys.
I think Rassie's quotas will take them.
Rassies hodge podge plodders are not better than Ireland, Wales or Mighty Engerland. Thats for damn sure. A loss to Ireland would be a blessing cause there no way you can compete against the New Zealand or England, not even Wales or Australia. Heck, you might not be so rosey after Italy another loss could be on the cards! hahahahaha!!! Times are changing and Europe is the hub of power in the football and we're sealing everything else up too. Soon you'll resemble the south american football leagues. Its going to happen and theres nothing you can do to stop it. Say goodbye to the last time South Africa will ever considered contenders again!
CAMBo, stop trolling. The boks beat NZ last year in NZ nogal...and we ran them close in most matches in the last 2 years. When last did your Poms do that?
Irish looked good n the 2nd half passing / offloading crisp.
Like any tournament only need to get through pool stages - but what i saw in second half shwed me Ireland still a force in this RWC...
Really want Japan to beat Scotland though as Ireland v Kiwis in QFs would be a match of epic proportions...
Yeah ... I'm also rather hopefully that Rassie's Goats come unstuck against the Italians.
THAT would definitely male my weekend.
Gooooooooo Italyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!
