So you are admitting South Africa are the favorites Ireland are the underdogs.
Ireland have absolutely no excuse not to make a semi final. It will be a massive failure if they donāt.
I think they will and that they will get to the final.
I have faith in the ability of this team, and especially now with they way this competition has panned out, it couldnāt be better set up for them.
Iād say there will be suicides over it
Me, for one
Ireland are massive favourites for it
youāve suddenly become very optimistic. You didnāt rate Schmidt or his game plan 2 months ago. Amazing how suddenly youāve become so confident.
Can you tell why youāve become so confident in the last few weeks @glasagusban ? You were describing joe Schmidt as the trappotoni of Irish rugby in March.
Itās almost like @anon61878697 and @glasagusban are trying to make Ireland favorites in their heads so they canāt stick the boot in if Ireland lose. Glas In particular has been scathing of joe Schmidt for the best part of 12 months now.

Thatās not fairā¦ iāve said for months that Ireland would reach a semi finalā¦ and i hope they do.
Indeed it could. Searching through old posts and multiple taggings level of rattled. And weāre not even halfway through the pool stages yet.

Iāve never seen the likes of it.
The Samoans are a potential banana skin for Ireland Iām led to believe.
yer man from blackrock college at FB for russia could be brain damaged if he stays on the pitch here- he was clotheslined here a while ago
These are the kind of matches that make this tournament so great
Can you explain why youāve suddenly become so confident? Youāve dismissed joe Schmidt as a manager for the last 12 months.
How many times do I have to say it, it couldnāt be better set up for ireland. We should be confident.
You said in March weād shown up against scotland. You basically Schmidt was a stone useless manager. Iām just curious what changed.
