Rugby World Cup Japan 2019

[Johnny75]

Most impressive performance of the WC I would say.

Definitely. Tactics worked perfectly and mistakes punished.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Hugely impressive. Do the same against the All Blacks and then be shit in the final please.

 

[Tredman]

I bet Eddie Jones bloody loves this stat:

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

He should be very pleased this morning. Play that well again and you might well beat the All Blacks.

 

[Stan Hullis]

Good performance but definitely areas to improve on next week.

Outside of his work for the second try I thought Slade was poor. Excited for next week now!

 

[Newbridge Wolf]

Great win this morning, Australia whilst being a top team arent quite at the heights they have been.

Ireland game should be good, cant see past the Kiwis but you never know....

 

[Tredman]

All blacks it is then.

 

[jd1981]

Ireland making some really basic errors here, games virtually gone already

Not at their heights when they play England. That's revenge for 2015 and then some. We destroyed Australia.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

If the All Blacks play like this we are all playing on the other side of the draw to get our arses handed in the final. Jesus wept they are good.

Agree they are good, but Ireland have been poor.

 

[Dublin Drummer Wolf]

We've been shite. So many knock ons.

My mate is at it, he paid 650 for a ticket.... he just texted me saying No regrets lol. I'm not sure I believe him.

 

[Donegal Wolf]

Our tactics working perfectly, the old rope a dope

Let them run themselves into a standstill running up a big score and pick them off in the 2nd half...

Ireland again this another World Cup where they’ve come up short.

 

[Dinowolf]

Ireland carry on being poor, and NZ carry on giving them a dicking.

my irish colleague was explaining yesterday to me how it was certain that australia would beat england, and he was also supremely confident ireland would beat the all blacks, as they're the only team to have consistently done so in recent history. I explained ireland had essentially looked poor to me, and were only through because scotland are even worse. He wasn't a happy bunny. He might be less so now.

I'm almost tempted to put a bet on japan as he forecast them to lose. He also forecast france to lose, but I can't bring myself to bet on them!

 

[Nando]

This is an absolute masterclass. The conveyor belt of talent is just absurd.

Here it comes....

Clearly a bandwagon rugby fan then. We have been below par for this whole tournament. Becoming the number 1 ranked team in the World flattered to deceive. We have looked average this year, had a pretty poor 6 Nations by our usual standards.

Even before the WC kicked off, everyone in Ireland knew the QF was as far as we would go. Even my mate who has been in Japan for a month told everyone he was back home 2 days after the Irish team (21st), this QF was predicted long ago.
