How simple can you be 
As simple as a lad who was confident of Ireland making a semifinal at least?
The joy Iâll get off when ireland make a semi final and how miserable itâll make people like you will be immense. Every thick Irish Muldoon hates rugby. Itâs absolutely unreal.
I donât hate rugby at all, and have supported the Irish rugby team all my life.
It is utterly delusional however to think this Ireland team are good enough to beat South Africa or New Zealand in a QF. They are a very limited predictable team, and have been in decline since 2018, as we saw against Japan.

Franno on the Last Word now. Franno reckons it was the humidity that did Ireland
Thats understandable to be fair. When youâre embedded for years in a fabled sporting competition like the Limerick SFC it must be hard for anything else to come close
And not even coming close to winning it either. Could make a man very bitter.

I think delusional is too strong an assessment - optimistic might be better.

Louis Walsh got a tune out of a few lads from various parts of Ireland Iâd like to see him take over here. An eye for talent.
Just when you think the weekend couldnât get worse for Irish rugby football⌠more shameful scenes, this time off the pitch.
From The Indo.
TWO Irish rugby fans are being questioned by Japanese police after being arrested in a suspected heroin-mixing scam at the Rugby World Cup.
The duo - from Dublin and Cork - were arrested by police after a Tokyo karaoke parlour worker rang the authorities when one of the men was apparently found unconscious in the club.
One Irish national was rushed to hospital where he was treated for a suspected overdose.
The other man was arrested on Saturday and taken to a Tokyo police station for questioning after a quantity of heroin was alleged to have been found at the scene.
It is understood the men are denying the drug possession allegations.
They said that they were the innocent victims of a scam.
Both men are in their late 20s and early 30s and were in Japan to see Irelandâs Rugby World Cup group matches.
The English language paper, âJapan Today,â and Tokyo station, Fuji TV, both reported on the detentions last Friday evening.
GardaĂ have no details on the arrests.
However, it is expected that the Department of Foreign Affairs will be briefed on the matter once Tokyo Metropolitan Police set a date for the men to make a court appearance.
Under strict Japanese anti-drug laws, the duo can be held for an initial period of 28 days.
It will then be open to a prosecutor to seek a formal hearing.
If found not guilty, both will immediately be released.
However, if convicted of drug possession, they face the possibility of a prison term under Japanâs increasingly tough crackdown on narcotics.
Or, in a more lenient option, both can be fined heavily and deported from Japan.
The incident occurred late last Friday night as Irish fans were socialising in the popular Shinjuku and Shibuku areas of Tokyo.
A Shinjuku karaoke parlour worker was checking the club between 10.30pm and 11pm on Friday evening when he noticed a foreign national collapsed in one of the booths.
It was realised the man was unconscious and, when efforts to wake him failed, both the police and paramedics were called.
The unconscious man was transferred to a Tokyo hospital while his friend was questioned about the precise circumstances of what had happened.
Police were informed that both men were Irish nationals who were in Japan to attend the three Rugby World Cup group games.
The Shinjuku and Shibuku areas of Tokyo are amongst Japanâs most popular nightlife areas.
However, there have been a number of drug-related incidents over recent times including the hospitalisation of a group of foreigners last year who claimed an attempt had been made to âspikeâ their drinks and rob them.
Shit journalism right there
A quick Ask Jeeves search returns no area in Tokyo called âShibukuâ
I presume the article meant to refer to âShibuyaâ
I always thought Keith Barry was a fraud, but in fairness he actually managed to make a whole squad disappear on Saturday.
