@kiwiinmelb which begs the question, what gives everyone so much faith we'll get passed the QF? Due another shit one vs France, good one vs Italy then out.

Because quite simply were the flat track bullies of the international game, well pump everyone (bar France) by 50 points + in the pool games and then fall over ourselves as soon as we come up against a forward pack that hits us harder than what we hit them.

@nostrildamus Now that you put it like that - I have to agree 100%

@Machpants Personally I'd feel lucky?

I've got money saying they will. And I think they will outside of my draw.

Would you feel more dirty than if a Foster-coached team won the RWC and Foster won coach of the year?

Bit late to the chat and yeah pretty shit game to go to, mate who jumped over from LA for it wasn't too impressed at his first Twickers experience.
But yeah, this was about as close to a friendly as it gets, sucked watching the ABs sitting in their own 22, but bigger picture it doesn't really matter and we had fun!

Argentina.
Smokey right? Right?

@Bones Mattered at the time bro. But less so as the week has gone on and there are bigger fish waiting in the ocean for the frypan. And the whole Twickers experience is a good place to have some fun.
@Jailbreak7 I was over it by halftime.
-
Considering he has already won the RWC as assistant coach (so "been there done that") I should be more hopeful but I still recall some poster from years ago saying when he was coach of the Chiefs the fans would have to endure terrible, aimless, brainless games, then a rollercoaster resurrection, only to get their hopes dashed when it mattered. We got some of that this year, but will he pull a smiling fat lady out of the fire this time?

If Ireland have a poor tournament then surely they get the moniker of RWC chokers. Shit they lost to Japan 4 years ago.

Not sure they embrace the pressure, rather they are suffocated by it. I'd much rather see France win

Without getting too negative I much prefer the Millennium Stadium Cardiff. The stands at Twickenham are a long way from the pitch . Not quite as much vibe.

@BerniesCorner I haven't been there in 15 years and struggle to remember Friday night.
