RWC: Japan v Ireland (Pool A)

@Damo said in RWC: Japan v Ireland (Pool A):
The Japanese are playing like their lives depend on it. Ireland look a little sluggish and predictable.
We probably end up playing the losing team in the quarters.
Nah, even if Japan win, they could easily drop a game to Samoa and/or Scotland. But Ireland will beat Samoa and Russia.

Scotland didn't look interested against Ireland and are down a further two first choice players trough injury. Scotland v Russia might be a contest.
Samoa could be the real surprise - if Ireland can't improve on today's performance, I can see Samoa beating them. Ireland looked old and tired...

@PecoTrain and bereft of ideas....thier kicking game was well off too, those 2 kicks form hand early in the game were absolute shit when Ireland were going forward and should have kept in hand.

Schimdt whinging about the ref. Just cop it mate. You lost to a better team on the day.
Not the Palmy North way, must’ve got that in Ireland
I'm back in Palmy right now! Haven't seen the game (family shit got in the way), and haven't see Joe since he coached my PNBHS U14 Basketball team c. 1990.
But am disappointed to hear he was whining about the ref, was any of it it justified?

The 50/50 calls probably went Japan’s way. But many Irish fans always, and I mean always, blame the ref when they lose.
The simple fact of the matter is that Ireland’s Risk free one up runners and recycling combined with box kicks only works if your team is not tired. They looked lethargic and just had no other ideas.
They did get a losing BP which is actually pretty big actually. But they’ll be wary about putting out a B side vs Samoa.

Fuck you Schmidt - post-match interview.
You weren't hard done by, you were done over.
Wear it.

Disappointed by his response. Always rated his grace in defeat until now.

Easy to be gracious when you lose to teams that have a recognized chance of beating you.

No Plan B for Ireland.
Schmidt shown up. Again.

And the real problem was plan A was "play for 15 minutes, score a few points and go home early"

I sense the ABs don't waste too much mental energy thinking on things like that.
The mantra seems to be you play what's in front of you.
