The Rugby Thread

To be honest, 4-8 really shouldn't make the HUGE difference.

Last time the key was Wales dropping to 9th for ONE week and it happened to be the week of the draw, so you ended up with 3 big guns in one group.

Top four is going to be NZ, Aus, Eng, Ire
Five to Eight - Sco Wal, Fra, Arg
Nine is Italy and co

So we should avoid a group of death scenario this time I think.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

You were right though Pad, you said Wales would be nowhere near under Howley.

 

[Dublin Drummer Wolf]

Swap Arg for S Africa and I think you have it

Aye

We just have nothing with him in charge compared to Gatland. Stumped as to why, but there it is.

 

[Dublin Drummer Wolf]

Very impressed with Ireland so far

 

[jd1981]

England not turned up yet Ireland should be ahead by more they may regret it later on.

 

[Tredman]

Awful from England in every way so far. Very lucky to only be 7 behind. Very slack all over the field.

 

[Bit on the shaggies]

England just haven't been able to get the ball from the Irish at the breakdown, haven't competed at all really. If Ireland just keep it tigh and keep recycling, I doubt England will see the ball much in the second half either.

 

[Bit on the shaggies]

England getting into the ascendancy.

Not convinced we'll get out of jail yet though.

 

[Nando]

Fuck sake George.

 

[Dublin Drummer Wolf]

England getting frustrated

 

[jd1981]

England have been awful today lineouts have been dreadful created nothing.

 

[Bit on the shaggies]

We've not been up to much, but Ireland have been shit to watch.

 

[Tredman]

Fucking Mike Brown. Utter twat. Never should play for England again.

 

[Dublin Drummer Wolf]

Brilliant win! What a performance.

Delighted for Ireland, delighted that we thwarted England's record attempt, Eddie Jones deserved this after his comments pre game.

Thrilled.

Not really his fault. Last hurrah's rarely come off and usually end up with a fumble.

Maybe if Ireland tried a bit against teams that aren't England they could actually win the tournament next time round...

More for the fact the *only* thing he ever contributes is the ability to catch the ball and run into the first man. He's past it, he needs to disappear.

Like all the times we've won it in the last few years you mean?

We had a shocker against Wales and Scotland, but as I've said before, it is always sweet to beat the English to Ill be celebrating tonight regardless.

Ireland's intensity won the game today, they threw the kitchen sink at England and stifled them to the very end. Like I said, if they'd brought that game to Wales and Scotland they'd probably be champions tonight.

As an aside, can we, just for once, have fucking Italy as the last game next year? I understand that the organisers want some tension on the last day, but I'm quite simply fed up with it.
