Ireland have been shit too - but I'm sorry - this is just fucking boring. You compare this product to the NPC and Super Rugby and it is night and day.
This isn't rugby I'm afraid. It's two phases then box kick, it's pedantic rulings, it's the TMO reffing from the sideline - it's just straight horseshit.
And then the pundits gas light us into thinking we are being served caviar.

Anyone still think we'll win this?
Should do as long as we get more points than they do
Trouble is if we win it gives the coach a let off and papers over the cracks until we lose to Scots poms and struggle to get past wales

About the same as Leroy Carter.

I hate this team. 20 mins up.
Get papalii in, Morons
If Dalton’s our saviour we really are in trouble.
It's not about Dalton being our savior, it's about selecting a balanced loose trio that includes someone that will actually do the hard work. Whether that's Dalton or someone else who cares, but our loosies are our biggest weakness under Razor.
It's not just the personnel. It's how Razor chooses to use them. Half time talk should have been easy. Hit it up the middle like they're doing!

Good that the teams decided to give the Americans what they want. A long drawn out game with plenty of breaks in play.

Looks like Parker is ok after the HIA
That's good. He can go back to doing nothing.

UK tv saying its the worst red card they have ever seen.
No, that's O'Driscoll. Almost more two faced than Mike.
Tbf it wasn’t the worst red you’ll ever see, but by the rules it was fair. Irrationally, I’d be livid if it was an AB, so can understand the sentiment.

The worst RC I've ever seen was the one given to Cane in the RWC final. Not just because of the way it was inconsistently ruled within that same game, but because it ruined the most important, most watched game on the rugby calendar. But I'm sure they were fine with that one.

The most overused phrase in sports a d yet wrong.
These days they scrutinise the what didn’t go right in wins just as much if not more so, than losses.

Stereotype all you like but NFL is shitting on rugby in terms of enterntainment quality and engagement.
And professionalism. Rugby administration feels a lot like amateurs being paid rather than professionals.
