It doesnā€™t suit the narrative. Letā€™s not offend the goys or God forbid their mothers, fatherā€™s or affiliated club members. Itā€™s not the scummy soccer crowd or the agri-ballers of the GAA weā€™re addressing here. Cunts.

The spin these gobshites put on it is admirable. ā€˜secured a losing bonus pointā€™.

Why canā€™t Rory Best dry the ball with a normal sized towel?

Sweep sweep

Gavin Cumiskey in the Paper of Record was far less forgiving with his ratings. Gavin seemed to feel particularly let down by Jacob Stockdale.

Stockdale a global superstar!!!

:smile:

Lomu was barely a global fucking superstar

Nailed on to beat New Zealand in a November friendly in 2022. Iā€™m calling it now.

Donā€™t think the schedule for the November tests for 2022 has been fixed yet.

When it comes to serious competitions, always start your best team. Springing lads from the bench rarely works when things go to shit in a pressure situation.

Toner was needed in the lineout more than ever today!

I was looking at all the stoppages in the first half if they strung together 20min of actual playing time. Kearneys tmo try was 5 min. You be recovered and rested and have your water taken on in that time. Lineouts they walking to them these days they take 40 seconds. Scrums 1 min plus penaltys 1 min plus. And anyway their out there two fucking weeks at this stage. The conditions canā€™t be an issue.

The heat and humidity in Shizuoka is particularly oppressive. It was in the high 20ā€™s and around 70% humidity. Not far off Qatar marathon running conditions. To put it in context for the rugby once every four year soccer crew, think of the 6 day turnaround for Eire in 1994 when they had to travel south to Orlando from New York to face Mexico.

More excuses.

Irish arrogance cost them the game nothing else M we thought weā€™d put 6/7 trys on these boys. Ringrose didnā€™t even break a smile after scoring the try told me the arrogant cunt was thinking heā€™d have a field day.

@ChairmanDan is quote similar to lapsed poster @GeoffreyBoycott in that he has a strange obsession with association football.

When the sub Japan number 8 came on the commentary said heā€™s not fit he didnā€™t look fit against Russia. He ran all over the pitch carrying ball and cleaning house. More arrogance.

Cronin/ earlā€™s said otherwise in their post match interview

In fairness the Japanese lads did well for guys who werenā€™t skillful enough for Sumo wrestling
