Ulysses Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 That was the most exciting game I've seen in the tournament so far. Well done to New Zealand, they were very, very good, IMO, and fully deserved the win. Defences win tournaments, and theirs delivered while Ireland's didn't, and in the end I think the scoreline flattered to deceive a little - especially considering that the All Blacks spent a quarter of the game with 14 on the pitch. There were also some areas where Ireland's play was below par, but I'd be wary of using that to take away from an impressive performance by New Zealand.

France in Paris for a QF might have been a tall order for Scotland, but under different circumstances you could have ended up with a QF against Argentina. Or Wales. Or England.

End up playing the most successful footballing country on earth in Brazil in the Stade de France Final. 2023 France host the rugby World Cup having never won it. End up playing most successful rugby country on earth in NZ in Stade de France Final……….. 😬 South Africa are equal with NZ on 3 RWCs, so I'd say equally successful. 50 minutes ago, Malinga the Swinga said: Never ceases to amaze me. Playing top class sport is a ruthless business and Ireland played loyalty over dynamism and creativity. Murray and Sexton were finished 2 years ago but they kept getting another chance. They've nobody to blame but themselves. Props who can't scrum, forwards who can't compete at break down and half backs that are slower than slow snails. Chokers got to choke Good analysis of where their players let them down but they had a good referee. I like Tadgh Beirne but he has an awful habit of laying on top of any ruck he sees. Porter would have been carded were he wearing any other shirt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N Lincs Jambo Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 Fantastic game of rugby tonight. In fairness it took a really class team to expose the Irish weaknesses. Just a shame we couldn’t do it last weekend until we were 5 tries to nil down. Anyway out of all the teams left in who have a genuinely realistic chance of winning the tournament, c’mon the All Blacks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

periodictabledancer Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 On a side note , did anyone watch the itv documentary after the game last night about the England world cup winners training up a bunch of lard arse prisoners to take on a prison officer XI ? Definitely worth a watch. As for Ireland's performance last night - BOD bemoaning the lack of luck Ireland were going to need to win the game/world cup : did I miss the bit where NZ only had a full team on the pitch for 60 minutes ?
