    Our winning percentage against top-tier nations must be pretty appalling.

        I agree on the last Northern tour we struggled to put them away,
        Beating Italy maybe not a given.

          Last time we played Italy 2021 we won 47-9.

          I agree beating Italy is not a given but we didn't struggle to put them away. We struggled to put Japan away last year.

            I actually thought the score was closer,
            We took a while to put them away didn’t we ?.

              First AB team to lose a game against France at a RWC while wearing black and France wearing alternative strip? 🤔 is that a thing?

                      Yep, can't be too often that expectations are slightly higher for the Warriors than for the All Blacks...

                                    Could be a very quick exit

                                        It wasn't that long ago that Ireland were lucky to get off nil and did virtual laps of honour if they fluked it to double figures. Mr. Foster has comfortably erased those from Ireland's goals to aim for.

                                        To be honest every team in world has done that for Ireland, they are seriously a f***en good team, and being No 1 in world doesn't come form beating just ABs. We not that important mate! :confounded_face:

                                          it still does my head in that the players opinions had any say in the matter. Foster selected those players, which is a clear conflict of interest, and this is the Robinson that the recent board review apparently praises(?) with its focus on governance...
