Both these sides are ahead of us so far But it where we are next year that’s important Should be a cracking World Cup
to stop the Blacks getting a try is a pretty big achievement these days never mind your first ever win. Without being a killjoy considering how close England were last week perhaps the Blacks aren't actually as all powerful as we thought.
Not so sure about that They went through a period where they seemed to peak a year before the WC I would imagine they are just going through the gears Expect to see them and rest of Southern Hemisphere just as dangerous as ever - however Irish are looking very good. Didn’t SA turn them over the other week (AB)
it was just a lot of pundits almost seemed to be giving them the WC already. The difference between the AB's and most of the rest of the world is you sometimes think there 5th team would still be pretty competitive in an international. PS the nationality issue is a ****ing joke in Union imo
Must say it was a hard fought friendly I'm not quite sure how o Mahoney got that ball, his arms must have stretched 2 feet.
All Blacks will as ever have huge depth of squad...Ireland are almost matching them in that respect.. After that? WC wise, it's luck in how many first teamers you keep fit... harder than football at a tournament especially since they shortened it down day wise. At mo... the no 1 and 2 teams have the best squads. . But ... one has been terrible at every recent world cup and the other has fallen against atritional sides if they get it right on the day... And I never count out England in a world cup..
Tbf i dont think England will have a WC like the last one, they are bubbling nicely, thing is the argies the french etc can all turn in one performance in the WC. The other thing is no one likes the english at all BUT this isnt like when teams were playing Leicester i fully expect the irish to be respected and turn in a great WC. Tbh atm the Final deserves to be Ire Vs AB imho
Ireland... kicking game. target sexton for hig head shot cos he's always going in high defensively. once he is off park then there's the pack.. after the pack all thry really have to hurt top sides is Stockdale. the rest of backs are not the same. furlong is best no 3 in world. but other 2 front rows... probably not but best must be passed his... best. second rows are bloody impressive and back row if all fit have depth and are very impressive too. o'mahony standar and O'Brien.. that newer lad who got injured before game would prob be better choice than O'Brien at this point. the no 9 is prob one of top 2 or 3 in world too and didn't even play yesterday. imo Ireland are weakest in front row outside furlong and for pace and size in backs. the other wing is small and while they have good high ball in their full back he has no pace.
wow there's an awful.lot of people very lucky there. the second impact shot the car up and over the stewards she was headed for that barrier otherwise and they were right in line of fire. the cameramans position was also very close. it went to his left by 2/3 yards? more? tight track, street and she absolutely accelerated off the first contact. the would want to have a hard look at the positioning of things as thry were all in line of fire of any accident
Watching the Tiger vs Phil.... the set up is great....200k to million dollar bets on holes (to charity...closest to pin... down in two etc) what it desperately needed was a drunk new York crowd ... not a sparse sober Vegas one.
I'd rather be forced to watch man Utd for the next 20 years than turn on that flagrant money making scheme. It's more pathetic than mayweather v mctwater
Mweh... it's had it's moments... not many. It needs two players that are naturally funny or loathe each other.... as well as a drunk abusive crowd. Charities are doing quite well out if it... golf has been terrible lol
the reality is mickleson is totally spent so it's not like they got the world's no 1 and put him up against woods. the people.doing well are woods and mickleson.
Any interest in Wilder v Fury ?? Kind of hope Fury pulls it off even though I don't really like him so much Don't really like either tbh Wilder is just a really ugly boxer to watch, Fury's not great either but at least brings a bit of personality
