RWC QF: All Blacks v Ireland

[Frank]

Prediction. We win.
Ardie Savea and Richie Mounga to star.

OK, time to put the phone down and enjoy(shit) the build up. May the best team on the night win, no cards to spoil the game and Barnes lets the game flow. Too tight to call for me. If the AB's from the SA Christchurch game turn up, I think we're fucked. Fatigue is the big concern for me in the last 20min and impact from the bench.

2 right. Biggest game in 4 years. If we do this we can go all the way.

Apparently not only dewey but a bit of precipitation around

I love that Brian O’Driscoll just did the analysis on the Irish attack showing the first try against Scotland and didn’t mention the obstruction and impeding of the Scottish hooker to create the half gap Ringrose went through

Come on Foz

Prediction: BBBR and Frizell to star.

Time for Rieko to have a big game.

I think he's a fluffybunny.

Feel strangely calm compared to previous world cups ,

Maybe the expectation is less than normal ,

although I’m only a fan, the underdog thing certainly feels like a release on the pressure valve in comparison to being red hot favourites.

See ya on the other side gents. I'm immersing in the game. 4 years of dry powder, kaboom.

[Bones]

Wait. Just when I thought I couldn't want this more.

Bono.

[Machpants]

One wrong so far, hopefully zero percent by the end of the day. C'mon foster, prove me wrong

O’Driscoll analysis - breakdown the key area. Ireland are the top breakdown jacklers (9 of starting 15 have at least 1 breakdown turnover/penalty won) and 50% of penalties NZ have conceded are at the breakdown.

No analysis of where Ireland are vulnerable obviously
