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

Now so? Ireland are in the quarter finals.

We’re not too far off beating the total post count for the 2018 FIFA World Cup and we’re not even out of the Group stages. Ireland is rugby country and this board reflects that.

Any minute now…

Ireland came into this tournament as the number one ranked team, having beaten the All Blacks twice in recent years - and as recently as 11 months ago.

Hard to see anything other than a win for Schmidt’s men. It’ll be a bottle job if they don’t win it from here. Clean bill of health going into the quarter final too unlike 4 years ago. It’s all stacked in Vodafone Ireland’s favour really.

Sensational

I fancy Ireland to beat the overacted all blacks.

I’m switching to Vodafone as we speak

They would be better off if the match was cancelled.

The AIG All Blacks are a decent side but can’t see them outwitting Rory Best OBE and co.

Incredible.

And to think most of these Japanese lads only took up rugby about 12 month ago.

Lovely

Serious question, are the Japs juicing?

Joe Schmidt is already plotting the all blacks down fall.

Japan play rugby football in the right way.

Compare this to Schmidtball and the up the jumper dross Munster play.

No wonder the 6 nations teams didn’t want a world league. Be embarrassed.

Or is it the case that most “rugby countries” have tiny populations and rugby is only a minority sport in most rugby countries so once a country with a population like Japan takes rugby seriously they can dominate easily, a bit like Dublin in the gaelic football?

The Scots still kicking the ball back to the Japs. Utterly spineless.

Calm down there @dodgy_keeper and @Tank, there’s another few weeks yet of this for your stale banter. You don’t want to tire yourselves out.
