Anyone penning kiwi obituary will look very silly in 12 months.
It’s mid world cup cycle… Irish rubby fans wouldn’t understand what that means.

Like Clare peaking in Munster and falling asunder when the real business starts.

New Zealand tend to produce their best rugby between World Cups.
Always the case
The South Africans and the Cadbury Wallabies are the specialists when it comes to peaking for World Cups.
You just don’t replace men Conrad smith, carter, McCaw, Reid etc and not come back to the pack.
Lads were getting all excited in 2017 when gatland led the lions to a series draw but in reality it was a bottle job. They’ve been on the slide since 2015.
I’d much prefer to be meeting New Zealand in the Q/f than France.
Don’t they flop at world cups more often than not?
They needed the ref to get them over the line 2011
Yeah France were robbed that time, it was farcical.

Huge game. Dog of war. When he’s on, he’s fucking immense. One hard hombre

Nic White is a proper wum scrumhalf.
Watching the English game here. The deliberate knock on rule is very harsh
It is. Justin Harrison put it well when he said his hand was towards the sunlight and not the grass.

This could be the day of days for the hemisphere
Australia have been septic so far
Englabd should have it won
Let’s just let the World Cup take care of itself. A win next weekend and it’ll be much bigger than a quarter final win.
You’ll have two huge games next spring with France and England coming to the aviva. I think the Ireland v England game is paddys day.
We’ll need a lot of luck in the World Cup. It’ll be either France or New Zealand. We will need to be close to full strength to win. We probably have little chance v the French tbh. They are much slicker than us and have the depth we don’t. Age profile is better too.
