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

Anyone gonna go out to the final, @GeoffreyBoycott ?

I will raise you an undefeated test series Lions coach

Farrellā€™s smirk at the haka is the new Campo kicking balls into the Lansdowne Road terrace

The bantz would eclipse the rugby

CC @Tassotti

Heā€™s also never beaten NZ with Wales, had streaks of losing games including a horrific record vs other SANZAR nations.

He has lots of brilliant achievements no question, but he doesnā€™t have a record of consistency, which is what Tank is arguing.

Schmidtā€™s coaching performance in the last year now looks twice as bad as it did this time last Saturday

This is a very likeable English side

Frano went big on New Zealand in his last column

He said theyā€™d pummel England

Questions to be answered for our favourite rugby analyst, mild contrarian and anecdote teller

Ireland 7 points down against Japan, kicked to touch to take a losing bonus point. England 10-0 up today against the best team in the world, won a penalty and kicked for the corner flag to really turn the screw.
Thatā€™s the difference

You reckon our coach was holding us back? Thatā€™s all it was?

Any chance we can hire the lad coaching Englandā€™s defence instead of the fella that coached ours?

Surely after 6N England would have been favourites? A pity France didnā€™t keep the heads.
Even with SH teams gone thereā€™ll still be rake of kiwis playing in the final :stuck_out_tongue:

Eddie Jones is an exceptional coach. His record everywhere heā€™s gone speaks for itself. England have incredible resources and along with South Africa have by some distance the greatest depth in playing numbers. England have never been that good though in harnessing their advantage in playing numbers though. Thereā€™s not too many, if any, England coaches over the years who would have given two flankers of 21 & 23 in Curry and Underhill a go as Jones has done or gone with both George Ford and Owen Farrell.
