Surely Ireland must now rank as the worst of the 8 quarter finalists?
What a shambles Schmidt and Rory Best OBE oversaw.

Be interesting to see who gets cut from the irish team next year . Weāve to go back to Twickenham, not looking forward to that
Gatty is the only coach to beat England this year
That was some achievement
I mean in 2015 Robshaw arguably went to do the same and lost out. You look great when it works, not at other times.
The difference was better form, players all hitting their peak and just a better squad overall.
He was our fwds coach for a few years before

If Wales spring an upset and beat South Africa, I can think of one New Zealand born player starting in the final, Hadleigh Parkes. Iām sure Iām overlooking loads though.
Maybe post up a list there of the rake of Kiwis between England, Wales and South Africa.
How did we do then?
Weāve never seen an AB team without a world class 7 before. Jones, kronfeld, McCaw. Severely cost them today at breakdown.

The John Bulls have emerged
John Mitchell? Didnāt he play for Garryowen for a while back in the early days of the AIL in the early 1990ās. @anon61878697 would know him well Iād say from the Limerick club scene.

Pretty woeful it was mid 90s under murray kidd id say
Once again, you are not addressing the issue.
Itās cowardly and not in keeping with the much vaunted manliness element of rugby football. The scummy soccer crew are going to have a field day with you. You are leaving yourself open for a mauling which is poor rubby play.
He did. That was murray kidd connection to Ireland role id say
John Mitchell was unreal for Sale sharks as a player. They had simon mannix at ten and former Ireland captain Dylan O Grady in back row with Mitchell.
