    It’s going to be weird going into a QF expecting to lose, at least I won’t be as upset like vs France. In fact if we somehow win I will be over the moon.

      Ireland really really super efficient. Nothing flash.

      Excellent D and take their chances

      Did think it would be closer.

        @stodders Look at how many games they’ve won in a row. Look that the talent they have and how well organised they are.

        If Ireland can’t win the World Cup with this magnificent team, they will never get their hands on the Webb Ellis trophy.

        @sparky I never said they weren’t a v good team. One of Ireland’s greatest. I just disputed if they were THE greatest team in the professional era

          The ABs clearly still have the record and the RWC so until Ireland do that we will have to wait and see

            @sparky do you think the current ABs would get within 20 points of NZ’s 2015 vintage?

              I’m tipping in the quarter we will throw everything at them early ,

              If things go our way and we are up on the scoreboard we are in the game,

              But if they get up early and get into their groove , it’s harder to Imagine a come from behind win

                we were just saying the same thing here.... that is the defensive area to target us at..... that and kick the ball as much as you can to Beauden.

                            What a joke. If Sexton didn't react, would the TMO said anything?

                                  It's a genuine question if they can win the World Cup. They are a machine.

                                  It is a genuine question as they will also go past the record number of wins in a row in the win the final.

                                  Strangely enough, I asked myself the same question about 20 minutes ago

                                    Scotland no. 23 was dumb not to fall to the ground after that thunderish push to the chest by the best 1st 5.

                                    I thought it was reacting players that get the cards? But not the GTOTPE

                                      The idea that this world cup is the most wide open ever in terms of who can win it was rubbish. Scotland are the 5th best team and aren't in the same sphere.
