RWC QF: All Blacks v Ireland
-
Maybe this is the opposite of the 2007 RWC campaign. Rather than over thinking it about whether individual players can get through three knockout games in a row, just get stuck in and fire up for each game at a time.
Injuries, attrition, and tiredness being factors that each team that makes the Final just has to deal with.

Really good point. Seen that in successful business teams where planning got screwed and they had to just stay focussed on the basics. Imagine the military do this every day.

Aside from the pronunciation of Savea I really like the World feed main commentator (Rupert Cox?). He does a great job.

With all the moolah going around, why hasn't someone hired Andrew Cotter ?

They backed their "cut and paste" attack to pry open the ABs defence.
That was quite the telling comment from Foz.
As if, in actual fact, they have fuck all variation, and once you figure it out, you can defend it all day.
I noticed this in my drunken haze at the ground. It was all very methodical.
Boks guy was commenting on same at pub last night, and how slow Sexton was. Perhaps after the 30th phase a pop kick might have been worth a shot? Definition of insanity and all?
They were 4 points down
Their cut and paste wasn't working. Roll the die? Pretty tame ending for them.
You're thinking droppy earlier in the match? Thought you meant that last phase, whereupon a droppy would have lost it foe them by 1.
No, just think after, say, 30 phases, a chip kick would have been worth a shot. Might have even worked.
I can imagine the outcry if BB or RM did a chip kick in the same situation and it didn't come off. I can see why Ireland didn't try one.

Clearly the Irish team are avid readers of the Fern

@MajorRage there were many Irish passes that looked a little forwards.
Who's the pillock who always says SavAYa?
and TamEYEti WilliamsYes there was. The most annoying one not called was about 5 seconds before Smith got carded

@MajorRage
I agree it is a shit question, but he must have expected it. He cant disavow the sledge, so he should have owned up to it.
If he’d said ‘yeah, that one came back to bite me a bit, he was excellent today when it really counted for his team’ then I’d have a pretty different opinion of him. I imagine a Dane Coles or Gregan or Fitzpatrick would say something similar.
It’s fair that he might not have been in the right head space but perhaps that’s the point, he was happy to be a bully when we lost with quite a few things going against us.

Obviously you have the Ardie steal, but that neck roll on JB! Barnes was definitely partying like it was 2007. -

i've seen another angle of the Ioane/Sexton "incident" and that makes it look for all money like the first words come from the guy in green (when Iaone had moved on to shake the next guys hand), Ioane chirps back, and Sexton blows up.
It's all dumb shit and i wish people would stop talking about it

History is written by the victors. What can be said without fear of contradiction is that they perservered with a strategy which had shown no sign of working.

I want to the semi and the 3rd place game in 99
@DaGrubster Eek! About 60 into the semi Pakman junior asked, 'What's happening, Dad?'!

Irish just weren't good enough.

Irish just weren't good enough.
Agreed, we were silly to let them get back into it immediately st the kick off from 13-0.
It meant that had a toe hold straight away to bring it back to 10 points. We should have been ultra disciplined to let 13 points get into their head.
I hope that was called out and that we have learned what that could have meant in a knockout game.
The first yellow card was a shit call as it wasn’t a try scoring opportunity and they missed an obvious forward pass seconds earlier.
To be beaten by a side that had 2 yellow cards and you were never in front of the whole game, shows that you were actually well beaten.
