Rugby World Cup 2019 - Ireland shit the pot all over again

Yep. Got every break going and just about got there.

My sense of it at this stage is NZ are comfortable favourites but most of the others (incl Ire) could beat each other on any given day. Eng could prove to be a bit in front but we wonā€™t know till later in the tournament

Yes!!! Wales rewarded by being braveā€¦

Essentially shadow boxing from the rest, NZ walk this as everybody rightly expected.

Surprised Australia went for that there, would they not have been better off kicking it out of play rather than risk the losing bonus point?

Englands hard Road now includes Australia.

Likely now Argentina, France, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa in 5 successive weeks. :smile:

:grin:

Probably - but NZ arenā€™t so far ahead that they canā€™t be caught in a game.

Hooper is fuming :joy::joy:

Dunno, pal.

They are incredibly determined once they reach the WC. Days of shit togging seem long gone.

Rightly so, shocking officiating throughout.

He had some game.

Tremendous Welsh resilience despite the humidity

Gatty 1 Humidity 0

Agree here. Far from genuine contenders

Not if they put out the dirt trackers against France and tell them to take it handy

Of course theyā€™re notā€¦ Sure isnā€™t gatland in charge and we all know heā€™s brutalā€¦ Wales will never win anything with him thereā€¦

They were blessed to win that game despite a 15 point lead. Got most 50:50s - why no yellow card on the line in the second half for example.

Will def be competitive at the business end and have a nice draw now though but Iā€™m not sure the game that won them the 6n is good enough to win the RWC

You can make the same claims about Irl by the way too - quite similar in many ways

Gats does it again. :clap::clap:

To think Ireland sacked that man.

Biggarā€™s injury seemed to come from a no arms shoulder charge preventing a try in the first half.

we just donā€™t seem to be able to jackal at all, at all

Another TMO miss if true

Wallies should have gotten a yellow in the first halfā€¦ Very blinkered view here from the Irish who continue to give Wales no credit.
