I drew Ireland in the work's sweepstake, I feel dirty
Don't worry, they won't win

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.

Man this is like a stages of grief thread. Some serious revisionism shît going on trying to rationalise and downplay the hiding we took.

@Billy-Tell Yes thank fark we've got all the tears, tantrums and throwing toys out of the way already. Now we can just go and stand in the corner and sulk.

@Billy-Tell and tbf there is some serious pumping and over valuing the SA performance too.
We know this ain't a great AB side and they had a very bad night at the office last week against a very good rugby team, and the score reflects this.
For the past 3 year people have been lamenting how we will be lucky to get out of pool or scrape into a quarter...if that hasnt changed surely people should be at acceptance anyway...
