RWC Week 5: Ireland v Scotland

Hmmm TMO not even checking the grounding etc, just popping my tinfoil hat on for a second.... do the ABs or even SA get a TMO free pass like the 1st or last Irish try?

@Mattasaurus Sexton can do some of what Carter did. Carter could do everything Sexton does.

@chimoaus discipline
And put points on them early.

Ireland are outstanding. They must be massive favourites to win the RWC now.

@kiwiinmelb Mike Catt is their attack coach

@KiwiMurph man I hope we beat them next week. They need humbling.
To be fair though they look booody good.
I find it very hard to believe we will have the physicality, discipline or even game plan to beat them.

I’m just hoping it isn’t embarrassing like this.

@voodoo was being a bit lenient, forget $1.05, they should be $1.01

So how do we beat Ireland?
Same way you beat any other Rugby team: better them up front, win the collisions, take your chances ruthlessly.

Is this Ireland team the best team of the professional era?

True, and I think you understated Sextons excellence, he’s not just better than Carter was, he’d also make a better 7 than Richie and could probably play hooker in a pinch

It’s a bit difficult to visualise right now ,
It’s like our one trick is to open the game up and run teams off their feet , but it’s not like they don’t know what’s coming

@chimoaus not disputing Sexton is v good. He’s just not in the same conversation as Carter IMO. Carter could win a game on his own behind a retreating pack. Sexton needs his armchair.
Fair enough but I think peak Carter happened behind some very good AB forwards.
