Some lads can’t get their head around a rankings system.

South Africa have more experience than Ireland not that it matters much.

The emernator?

The rubby set have shit their togs.

I thought I’d just clarified for you that the rankings only mattered in May 2017 when the draw was made and haven’t mattered since. You’re over analysing things Kid. Enjoy the tournament with the two nephews and walking Brady. Ireland have a decent chance of beating the Springboks in the quarter final but its by no means nailed on. Leave the worrying about the strengths of the Springboks and all the other opposition to the rugby crew. You just continue to enjoy this once every four years extravaganza and get behind the guys as you clearly are at the moment.

She is from Clare but she also played a couple of seasons out in Fair Fingal with MearnĂłg lady footballers. I think she scored six goals against us out there one night; one of which saw her take a handpass from their keeper inside their 20 metre line, solo the length of the field with the right foot and roof it with the left upon arriving inside our 20 metre line.

She was kind enough to talk with our girls afterwards and offer an appropriate and appreciated encomium to our young team.

Her other half transferred up to Na Fianna this year

Apparently the games before the world cup were not test matches, only friendlies. I had thought there were no friendlies in rugby.

What differentiated these from test matches? It seems all important world ranking points were there to play for. Except, world ranking points are not that important in these friendlies, only in important November test matches, which are not friendlies but are also standalone games not part of an overall competition. It’s hard to keep up

Just the one match in the World Cup today as Wales take on Georgia. Georgia I’d anticipate will give Wales plenty of it up front and you’d expect the Georgia set piece to be as rock solid as usual. It’s behind the scrum that Georgia will fall down.
