RWC QF: All Blacks v Ireland
-
I fear St Denis is going to be a total green out. I hope they shut TF up for the haka.

Draw is a definite mistake. Ranking needs to be made closer to the tournament.
It's not the draw as much as we don't switch at the quarters. If we did, it would even it out.
I reckon this is a great opportunity.
Ireland are the best team in the world, but we fucking owe them. Win this and the semi should be Wales, which is not easy but a better run towards a final.
I like it. Let's fucking go get them.

Owe what or do you mean own?

So which loosies would you play against Ireland given their skill intelligence and ferocity in the rucks?
-
Blackadder Frizzell and Savea

Frizzel, Blackadder and Savea.
Anyone who says otherwise doesn’t know a thing about Rugby.

I'd just hope Blackadder can learn to catch in a week.

And find a shirt to fit those massive guns of his.

@BerniesCorner Foster will update at local time 1pm
@game_film you'd expect Moody would already be on a plane?
They'd have had a good idea 24 hours after when the swelling usually goes down.

@taniwharugby given that he was scratched, he’s probably on the way or at least got his passport ready. But big call to insert him into the squad and therefore rule out TL for the remainder. Does feel like one of those stories waiting to happen though.

The only way we win this is by nailing our exits, play for territory, maintain discipline, protect the pill, solid set piece, dominate D and build scoreboard pressure. Pretty much exactly how Ireland play.

There is no reason why we can't deliver all of that. We match that, the "team" part, I reckon we have better individuals.
Something about the sum of the parts ...

Agree, we have seen it in parts, but it’s the consistency which is tough. Ireland are consistently good, but the beauty of knockout footy is we only need to be marginally better on the day.
