      The battle of the benches could be decisive. Bealham and Kilcoyne are not impressive at all. If Hansen and Lowe are out, the Irish replacement wings are not of the same calibre.

        If only one of their previous 17 opponents had used one of those thousand.

        But I agree we can win this but not if we play like we have recently against France and SA where we revert to chip kicks, poor exits and poor discipline. Basically we have to be out our very best for 80 minutes.

            I had a slight glimmer of hope until I read this little gem of master coaching:

            “We also learnt you want to have 15 players on the park"
            Oh, crap, that is incisive.

              You can argue they were undercooked if you want. But we pumped the yarps in the first half at Mt Smart. We need to bottle some of that and we can do these guys

                Start DMac, or anyone who isn't an exit play noodle-leg at fullback, and it's all on.

                    I mean, we could lose. Another Foster first.

                      Personally I think this is Foster’s final and he will be largely be remembered on the result of this game. If he wins I don’t think it matters whether we win the WRC, a large part of the community will forgive him if we beat the current world number one team. Fail and the fucker will face a tsunami of shit.

                      Ireland have power and strength across the park, however genuine speed and skill can still beat them. We certainly have a team that can beat them but we just can’t be sucked into throwing it around from anywhere.

                      Territory and accurately aggressive forward play will put us in the best position to exploit this. Make errors in our own half and we’re likely going to be fucked.

                      Thanks to previous results and the myriad of learnings surely the players realise this too, the last time the players fed off the hate, they pulled off a big win in SA to save Foster, time to unbottle some of the feelings from the last loss and create the upset

                        Reasons I hate the Irish
                        O'Mahony and Sexton are whiney mouthy cockheads
                        The fucking carry on after every little thing that goes their way
                        Zombies is the worst song of the 90s
                        BOD and his victimhood
                        James Lowe - Chiefs (53 caps)
                        Jamison Gibson-Park (Hurricanes 13 caps, Blues 30 caps)
                        Bundee Aki - Chiefs (25 caps)
                        Mack Hansen - Brumbies (21 caps)

                        Obstruction
                        Ruck shenanigans
                        Farrell is a low breed league player and Owen's dads

                        I hope we destroy another set of Irish dreams

                                  I think that’s what they’ll pick. Finish the game with Cane subbing on for Papali’i & Barrett at 6

                                      Won a test series in NZ
                                      Have won 17 games in a row beating all the top teams.
                                      Took average Super Rugby players and made them great international players.
                                      Built a team rather than relying on individual talent.
                                      Innovative attack that walks the obstruction line but gets away with it.
                                      Amazing discipline.
                                      Excellent defence.
                                      Excellent structure and plan.

                                        Fail and the fucker will face a tsunami of shit.

                                        That he hasn't already?

                                        Nah he's got nothing to lose.

                                          I think that’s what they’ll pick. Finish the game with Cane subbing on for Papali’i & Barrett at 6

                                          I actually this has enormous merit. Bringing the super experienced Sam's on to finish when the whips are cracking.

                                          But I think Cane will start, and I hope that means Paps comes on absolutely fizzing

                                          We simply cannot let them continue to recycle phase after phase no matter who is selected
