In fairness when Ireland win the RWC we will look back at Keith Earls last gasp tackle as the defining moment

Stop. The high 20s and humidity of 70% wouldn’t be that unusual in Ireland in June/July, a high of 32 was recorded this year in June.

Orlando is like an oven in June, the day Ireland played Mexico in 1994 the ground temperature was almost 50C.

Ireland are the first side in the tournament who’ve had to play the hosts in those hot and humid conditions. It’ll be a level playing field, weather wise for a 7.15pm kick off in Tokyo for a quarter final against either South Africa or New Zealand.

Irish players couldn’t possibly be used to humidity.

They lost to a bunch of amateurs who get 13 quid a day. I used to get paid more playing with old crescent.

We should of given Bunty Aki a game. He’d surely be used to humidity

There’s only one letter of a difference between humidity and humility

The Irish players should have the latter for their remaining games anyway as a result of today

Well knock me down with a feather

The weather.

Haha.

No mention of the gameplan or lack there of, or the fact the pack wasn’t changed even that they are moaning about the 6 day turnaround and the humid conditions.

It’s embarrassing

It’s been a shattering defeat and day for the rugby ever four years soccer type crew who had invested so much faith in this Ireland rugby team to deliver the type of World Cup glory that will never happen in their own code. All I can say is don’t lose the faith. There’s a long way to go in this tournament yet.

How does it differ than Japan in June mate

A lot of rain in June in Japan, which obviously wouldn’t suit the Irish either.

It’s the humidity that’s the killer. Rugby is essentially a winter sport in Europe and the antipodes

How are you enjoying your first World Cup experience as a rugby man? I hope you’re more resolute than the rugby once every four years soccer crew.

4 years is adequate for the once every four years soccer crew to be built up by the hyperbole of the Irish rugby media. #thisisrugbycountry #teamofus after yet another miserable showing at a World Cup.

It’s the hope that kills you. How many golden generations are we at now?

Can you answer the question

We’re two matches into the World Cup campaign and still well placed for a quarter final place despite today’s setback.

If it was l’equipe and the french they would all have got a zero.

Twas Cronin. Said they trained for the weather and the humidity and that had no bearing on the result.
