O'Connell and BOD going about on about how bad the All Blacks are in comparison with 2015.

It's this attitude which gives me hope we'll win today. Doubt if it's percolated down to the Oirish team though.

Ireland will need to play way better that they did in the 6N to win this. We'll need to play as well as we did in Bled 2 to win.

Well, this is it folks. Best of luck to both teams in hopefully a fair game with no red cards etc to spoil it.

I'm going with a 24-13 score to NZ. Can't see us stopping them from getting at least 3 tries.

England in the semis will be a tough prospect for whoever gets through.

Best of luck mate. I'll probably call Ireland cynical cheating fucks and a blight on the game but it's all in good fun. Bring it on!

Shit, don’t wish him luck, they might need luck to win!

@The-Irishman I look forward to seeing your movie soon ... maybe even in the cinema or more likely on Netflix.

Prediction.
We win rather easily.
-our team is better than 2018
-our tactics are better than 2018
-no home ground advantage for the Irish.
-their team is worse than 2018

Thank you.
Heart rate down to panic levels.

You guys can relax. ABs by 20+ points. No QF ghosts today.

There is a very good chance we lose this. But seriously, Ireland will have played well to do it. A good team playing well is hard to stop no matter who you are.

Sorry Mokey

But you kiwis can relax. You will be up by a few at half time, and then put daylight between yourselves and the Irish.
I have seen this movie

Comedy. ITV have a video of Brian O'Driscoll and Paul O'Connell telling their viewers how you beat the All Blacks. Neither of those gentlemen ever beat the All Blacks.

Man I have an irrational hatred for BOD.

If this game starts to resemble the game in Dublin , then worry ,

But if we are able to get it on our terms , we should be fine ,

I actually think we find out after 15 / 20 minutes

Ah crap, Kearns just picked us to win well ... kiss of death.

Pre KO thoughts.

I've always had the Boks down to win this RWC for about 12 months. Didn't really think or have a clue where we'd get knocked out - in the QF, SF or the final.

So I'm really nervous about one - but then again I was nervous against France in 2015

[Jailbreak7]

@rotated Yes - nice touch ABs

Might not be our evening, might not be our year. Who knows?
