    I don't see how any team is going to stop Ireland from romping to the title.

    Agree - unbackable favourites, should be $1.05 at the TAB

      I think South Africa is best equiped with their full front on brutality

          The irony is, Ireland can the game well at pace, yet are awful time wasters.

          Yes cos they are there ultimate team ATM. Against teams that want speed, they slow it down, against those that want slow, they'll speed it up. I've said from the beginning RWC favourites by a large margin

            It’s almost as if Farrell designed his team to be the ultimate counter to unstructured play. If you don’t give the opposition any counter ball they have to try and get through your defence or force them into mistakes.

              Another Foster first - we boycott the QF because we have absolutely no chance against the greatest 1st 5 ever. He’s better than Carter, Ella, Larkham

                  @ACT-Crusader His control skills are the best but to say he is Better than Carter on attack is a stretch.

                      Lol I don’t know who the commentator is but far out he’s fluffing Ireland. Sounds like they are the best team to ever play the game, the games already over etc.

                        I wouldn't put him ahead of Larkham either tbh - .. still one of the greats - but a very different player to peak Carter or Larkham ... more of a Wilkinson type of player -- but that may be my SH biases showing

                            No doubt they are a more complex side now under Farrell than they were under Schmidt

                              @KiwiMurph man I hope we beat them next week. They need humbling.

                              To be fair though they look booody good.

                                Scotland backs showing NZ how not to defend. Plus they just can’t create anything to save themselves.

                                  Well if they win the WC and take the unbeaten record in this competitive era I suggest they could be considered one of the best ever.

                                      No need to review the obstruction by Aki or the grounding there

                                        Just in case you didn’t hear it, this game is over.

                                        Not sure why the Scotland players even put on the jersey today.
