Sure you and the other Rugby experts were on here a few days ago telling us the Fugees had a chance of beating them. If the greatest Irish team of all time canât bate them we may as well throw our hats at it
I was comparing supporters ambitions. Very different.
Off in to the crescent now to get my all blacks Jersey.
Fiji have about 5 players that would start for any team in the comp probably. Major upsets tend to happen in the World Cup group stage. Fiji are often involved. Aussies can be cocky and get caught. Come semi final theyâll be under dogs likely and a much tougher team to beat than wales.

The dole life must be unreal.
Brodie retallick has to come back into the all blacks team yet. Christ⌠Picture James Ryan â 10 thatâs what weâre looking at here.
Irish rubby supporters ambitions are very limited.
The way they carry on youâd think they nearly want Ireland to lose so that their pre game excuses and cautions will be proved right.
Itâs bizarre behaviour.
This isnât the greatest Irish team either. Much weaker than 15 and 11 in my opinion.
It must be as it supports your family and your gambling

I think keeping your head as supporters is good. Not like say the limerick gaa supporters who lose the run of themselves after every win.
Wales are like Ireland
A quarter-final team who have the potential to possibly reach a semi, but thatâll be it
The two teams are on a very similar level
Rugby is a 22 man game these days, Wales have a fantastic squad. I can see them semi finals definitely
We donât have Dave Kearney this time
Big loss
Sean o brien, heaslip, o Connell and Sexton in his prime would be the big drop offs. Best 4 years younger too.
Lads is college closed for the world cup?

Yeah, there was a fella on here saying that winning a league and Munster final this year after winning the all Ireland last year was a failure. Lost the run of himself altogether.
Then you have the same fella as part of the rubby crowd saying that Ireland would be doing well to even get to a semi final.
Fierce mental gymnastics. Itâs hard to understand the rubby crowd.
Limerick were favorites for the all Ireland. Ireland are forth favorites for the World Cup. We are odds against to make a semi final. If you want to compare limerick hurlers bottling it and imploding in a semi final against an awful Kilkenny team compare them to New Zealand fans claiming a semi final would be a good World Cup.
You said Limerick only had to win 2 games to win the All Ireland â you compared them to Ireland only having to win 3 to win the WC.
Glas seems to be upset Ireland are the underdogs versus South Africa. I think weâll beat the boks because joe schmidt is a genius. Anything less than our best though and we wonât win. I donât get why non rugby fans are so upset.
