Doubt it but they've been talking up their scrum all week. If Irl's scrum holds, which I think it will, they'll win comfortably.
Well I too think Ireland will be too strong for Italy but remember they only beat them in the 6 nations this year 13-11 with a last gasp drop goal, so it might be closer than people think.
Ireland have only beaten Italy by single digit scores 3 out of the last 5 meetings so don't expect this to be a 40pt landslide
this game is winner takes all, loser goes home. aussies are now in the same side of the draw as nz and s.a Ireland won't meet any of the big 3 until the final. England or France in the semis
cos i said, sa are looking sad as are the poms, we can only improve getting 7 players back, 1-1 QPR v fulham, u been sth island kiwi?
Watched it this morning, England were ****, and it's still a terrible sport with mystifying rules. Carry on.
even looking sad poms and sa too good for a poor aussie side 2-1 to qpr. hopefully fulham will be tired after playing in europe midweek. spent one long weekend on the piss in south island...must go back for a proper look
