They are the ‘European’ champions and no.2 in the world. A semi final at a minimum.
Let’s just focus on the pool first. Hosts Japan and a rapidly improving Scotland.
In fact let’s just focus on this morning and the Lansdowne Cup decider.
Sexton, Murray, the Wexford lad, Ballinacurra’s CJ Stander, British Loins captain O’Mahony - they should be aiming to win it.
Nice to see you’re still posting here lad, you went missing there for a while when Tipp weren’t going well.
You got up early this morning and all to plan that post.
Tim mate, everything is in place to challenge in Japan.
Huge Irish crowd at the Sydney Football Stadium. A once in a generation opportunity for Ireland to win the Lansdowne Cup in Australia. This must be just huge for @Fitzy and all the Irish emigrants living in Sydney and Australia.
This French referee taking a hard line on Pocock.
What a commentary team. Mark Robson and Quinnie.
Timmie 200 meters is some bit of stuff.
What a defeatist attitude
Improving Scotland? They lost to the USA last week
Largely second string Scotland team. They’ll be a different proposition in Japan next year.
Rob Kearneys basics are unreal but he is almost zero treat in open field.
I’ve just stuck this on and it has all the atmosphere of a friendly on and off the field.
That’s a ridiculous decision … why is Murray kicking ?
Ireland did a lot of that the first day… a lot of pressure with no result.
It’s a bit like your wumming. Predictable and Nobody biting.
Who’s wumming? I leave that to the kids.
Hopefully that injury to Pete is nothing serious.
