Is a generation only 4 years now? As hearing that trope before every world cup most particularly before France 2007
14 in Liverpool
Ireland are the number 1 team in the world. Its time to embrace this and expect them to deliver.
Both ourselves and the Scots have two project players in the 23. The Scots have another 3 or 4 qualified through grandparents incl Blade Thomson a Kiwi who plays for the Scarlets and our own Tommy Seymour
Speak for yourself. Iām very very wary of the Scots
Very strong Scotland team.
The consequences for Ireland of a defeat in a gruelling, physically sapping war in terrible conditions on Sunday could be severe
Japan up just six days later and theyāll be relatively fresh after what should be a routine opening win today
Two and out is something which has not been mentioned as a possibility in the Irish media
Lose on Sunday and itās a live possibility

Some of ua have been tryng to warn of this for a while. The once every four years crowd wont hear of it though
If you were picking a British Lions test side at the moment, Stuart McInally would be your hooker, Hamish Watson at openside, Stuart Hogg at full back and Finn Russell at out half. Thatās the calibre of player Scotland have.
They scored 38 points in twickers a few months back. Only a fool would write them off
Japan have stacked the deck in their favour as is their right as hosts. They have at least two extra days rest in every match after today.
8 vs 6 against Ireland
7 vs 5 against Samoa
and the whopper
8 vs 4 against Scotland.
Japan qualifying for QF wouldnāt surprise me in the slightest.

Think they have a great shot at it, particularly with the group they have got. The Japs never feared the Scotch. Nor the Oirish.
Joe Schmidt is a great ambassador for our country. Spoke very eloquently on rte just there. Compare that to mick McCarthy with his cursing live in interviews.

Does Joe Schmidt have crab apples in his mouth when he speaks?
Just watching the Ireland v Australia game in 2011. Genuinely four world class players in the pack in o Connell, Ferris, o brien and heaslip.
Heaslip world class. Haha. Youāre having a fucking laugh.
