Now so? Ireland are in the quarter finals.
Weâre not too far off beating the total post count for the 2018 FIFA World Cup and weâre not even out of the Group stages. Ireland is rugby country and this board reflects that.
Any minute nowâŚ
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 Schmidtâs men. Itâll be a bottle job if they donât win it from here. Clean bill of health going into the quarter final too unlike 4 years ago. Itâs all stacked in Vodafone Irelandâs favour really.
Sensational
I fancy Ireland to beat the overacted all blacks.
Iâm 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 canât see them outwitting Rory Best OBE and co.
Ah jaysus
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 didnât want a world league. Be embarrassed.
Or is it the case that most ârugby countriesâ 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, thereâs another few weeks yet of this for your stale banter. You donât want to tire yourselves out.
Scotland are a fucking disgraceful sporting principality
