Off Topic The Rugby Thread

Ref seems to have seen it
Otherwise it should have gone to the TMO

 

That's a massive 1st half from Ireland

 

That’s it, we only needed a point tonight
We’re through thank God

I know it’s technically only a group game but I feel we have banished a lot of ghosts tonight

 

Scotland playing like a team that are OK but don't have the belief or quality that they're any better, Ireland playing like the number 1 team in the world, and with the quality and belief that they think they are !

 

Need to avoid as many injuries as possible to give us the best chance next week.

really really impressive group performance from all the NH teams

 

That was my first half prediction you know, now for the second half….

 

There’s going to be a lot of Guinness drank in the country tonight

 

I'm glad France won't have to play Ireland till the final should they both get there. I hate to think what this Irish side would do to England, it could all be a bit Qpr

 

Including Scotland ?

 

we only just beat England who had 14 men for most of the game

I said it when SB was appointed, that he needed time. Managers don’t get a lot of time with their teams during the year. England will be there or their abouts. Today didn’t matter a damn.

 

Next weekend will be the time to banish one particular ghost

 

Italy

 

Technically you’re dead right but we’ve performed better at this WC than any previously. There would be no shame in losing next week as long as we show up. But…I’m hoping we’ll be super competitive


Don’t want to see Sexton on for the second half

 

Apparently 47 unanswered points and Scotland will be in the QF's.......

 

I was just about to post the same thing,

I suspect that the Bokke would cry foul play if that were to happen

 

All kicking off now ! It's like a night round Kiwi's !

 

The Scot’s are great fellas aren’t they

do your talking on the pitch

 

Wonder if there could be repercussions for some of the Irish players in the quarters here ?

 

3 Scots look to have been the main instigators !

 

You're going all the way mate.
