Heard him as well. He came across as a righteous cunt.

Thanks chucksā¦this got lost in the match chatter.
What! No way,
I have a hunch that the tans will bate the diddies off the all blacks.
I was at a wedding in Bowral (Don Bradman country) yesterday and mustāve had a hundred people all me about the rubby match. I told each and every one to load up on the Blicks.
Oirelandās inevitable success was the last thing I heard from @AppleCrumbled before blocking him. I hope all is well in his e-grave.

Scotland lost those three quarter finals against New Zealand you referred to by margins of 27, 18 & 12. Scotland lost the 2003 quarter final to Australia by 17.
Thatās an average losing margin of 19 points
Irelandās average losing margin in quarter-finals against New Zealand is 32 points
Ireland and Scotland have both played Australia twice in quarter-finals
Ireland recorded losses by 1 point and 18 points
Scotland recorded losses by 1 point and 17 points
So Scotlandās quarter-final record against Australia is marginally better than Irelandās - that 33-16 defeat in Brisbane in 2003 being very narrowly better than Irelandās 33-15 defeat in Sydney in 1987
Unlucky Ireland
I hope heās doing well.
Ewan is an absolute cunt.

They will certainly give them a game. Just watched the tans/poms and England have serious pace, between the ears and in their legs. We had Stockdale who runs aimlessly and Earls who got tossed round like a rag doll. New Zealand attack with ferocious pace but England demonstrated similar enough against the Aussies and made them look very average. I expect it will be tight but NZ to prevail.

Jonathan Davies is OUT for the Taffs, Owen Watkin comes in.
A bit of ball hopping is always pleasant, but I struggle with lads who genuinely wanted a 32 County all Ireland (apart from the imports) team to lose a wc qf to the all blacks.
We werenāt great at this world cup, but we lost to one of the best performances Iāve ever seen from a rugby team yesterday, and to Japan who are a fine side, well prepared, and playing really well.
Such is life. They did their best, which wasnāt enough. The group they were drawn in was deceptive, and they got the all blacks in first game of the knockout stages. No shame in it. Best was an honourable servant of Irish rugby and, English bed sheets aside, seems a thoroughly decent man.
NZ will beat England comfortably, they have the lot. Their handling is so brilliant I actually enjoyed the game.
Crying over schmidts departure though would suggest a bit of want in a lad.

He used his position as Irish captain to intimidate a person on a witness stand in a rape trial. Thereās nothing honourable in that.
In fairness that wouldnāt have been his intention.
Heās not retarded is he?
Aux armes citroyens!
