Padme Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 What's going on? Is the World Cup cancelled now because of the typhoon? I'm confused Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically said the teams were virtually neck and neck and blamed Japan's win on a few penalties. Don't know what match he was watching but I watched a match in which Japan dominated all aspects!! I’m Irish and honestly seen this coming, I said it to my old man and a few others. Japanese are tough fuckers with huge pride. They beat Ireland fair and square. I saw the same game as you..... hoefully we get the bonus point win over Samoa, but it still looks like another World Cup flop from Ireland. If you want to win a World Cup, you heat what’s put in front of you. Worrying about meeting NZ or SA in the quarters or semis shouldnt matter. IF you are as it says on paper the #1 team in the world... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spunko12345 Posted October 13, 2019 Author Share Posted October 13, 2019 Come on Scotland. Summon the spirit of William Wallace, pretend the Japanese players are English Lords riding through raping your villages, pillaging your women and pissing in your lochs but just fucking win please...I've got 80 resting on this one.

I was really impressed with the Japs today both attack and defence. Some of these results they're getting should stop being seen as upsets now they were far the better side today. Scotland were, well...Scotland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clinical passing, quick carry, organisation and ''togetherness'', Japanese are the best team of the competition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powderfinger Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 I’d agree with the comments above, one of the best of the Tournament thus far the Japanese. (This missus is a jap so I try not to call them japs) Ireland V New Zealand tonight @ 3:15am. There needs to be a serious up in the intensity levels if we’re to have a good dig at the kiwis. It can’t be the rigid structured rugby it’s been till now. It needs a bit of magic and creation to beat NZ. I don’t mind loosing if you go down fighting, I expect Ireland to hit NZ hard tonight. I think Schmidt has been focused on this game for a long time. A quarter final has thus far been our Waterloo.... We need 15 “Laochs” on the field to win this.

spunko12345 Posted October 19, 2019 Author Share Posted October 19, 2019 I havent watched many of Englands games but fuck me they blew Australua away after a slow start. The guy they have out on the wing looks a fast tricky fucker. The All Blacks looked good didn't they. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselDaisy Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 (edited) Wales really didn't deserve that. France were suckerpunched. Japan were brilliant in the first half but then the Springbok physicality took its toll. Think it will be an All Black v Springbok final.

Powderfinger Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Man we were shit. No leaders, no fight. Men against boys. NZ are a great team, but fucking hell, we didn’t even hit them physically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame because a lot in that Irish side have had the beating of knew Zealand over the last 5 years or so whether with Ireland or the Lions. Ireland seem.to have gone backwards in the last year.

DieselDaisy Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 (edited) World Cup came one year too late for Ireland as they peaked 2018: 6 Nations Grand Slam (Feb-March); beat Australia in their own backyard 2-1 (June); beat the All Blacks (Nov); reached number 2 in rankings. They then began creaking last Six Nations and it has all been dire ever since - had a woeful World Cup prep. Not sure why? Sexton doesn't look one-hundred percent maybe? But that is team sport, isn't it? You're either on your way up, or on your way down. For all their Six Nations success, to use the American expression, Ireland suck arse in the Rugby World Cup, never having made it past the quarters. Wales are not much better: couple of semis to their name and there wasn't even sheep present!

World Cups are the real deal, no disrespect to the 6 nations, but England and Wales seem to able to deal with the pressure of the bigger tournament. Ireland exit limp dick in hand AGAIN. Not able for the pressure of the tournament. #1 on paper means fuck all, When asked to prove that status they’re beaten out the gate. Bunch of fucking women, Peter O Mahony seems to be the only man sent out there on the Irish squad. I’m convinced the rest had tampons in the whole World Cup.

spunko12345 Posted October 25, 2019 Author Share Posted October 25, 2019 NZ V ENG What are you thinking @DieselDaisy? I can't call this one. If i had to bet though i would say England, not because they're better but because they have been able to rest players and seem to have another gear they've not had to go to yet. But the All Blacks are the best side at punishing slight errors, so clinical in attack. What do I know though it's 50/50. Should be a cracking match anyway I can't wait. I'll be doing the Haka in my living room at 8.30 you can stick your chariots up your arse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All Blacks are favourites by a fair old margin but you never know? Their evisceration of the Irish was the competition's best performance by any team. England have looked - superficially - second best in the competition but haven't been tested so much I feel. There again, neither have the All Blacks haha. Neither side have went into second gear really. 2 hours ago, spunko12345 said: I'll be doing the Haka in my living room at 8.30 you can stick your chariots up your arse. Oh come on! An England v Welsh final would be magnificent for our country and the sport. Sick of the All Blacks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
