    Impressive considering who they have beaten in that streak also.

        I think the defences is the nullifying factor,

        Ireland have looked great against lesser opponents a bit like us

          This illustrates the Lowe is overrated argument.

            I’m glad the Irish won, I think I’d rather play them in the quarters than the Boks.

              Sounds like Brer O’Keefe says:

              There it is. Where is it. No, hasn’t come out.

              He said use it, they didn't, turn over. Right call

                Ireland very impressive. Hugely organised, incredible discipline and so much rugby smarts.

                  It's Ireland's World Cup to lose.

                  I can't see us being clinical, smart or physical enough to beat them in a quarter.

                        Pressure is a funny thing, and Ireland are bigger chokers than even the French at world cups.

                                Not this team under Farrell. I don't see it. I hope i'm wrong cos they are boring as batshit.

                                    Not sure about who will win it, but definitely see these two teams playing again in the final - streets above the rest.

                                      I loved every minute of that game. Just the intensity and accuracy of those two teams was bloody great to see. I know there weren't many tries or anything, but just great rugby.

                                        Ireland the team to beat in this competition IMHO.

                                          Well deserved. The Boks need a kicker. Great game to watch thought.
