Rugby World Cup 2023/ Crochet & Knitting chit chat

Other boys made mistakes of course,but Sexton has to kick that penalty. They win if he kicks that. Also, it was basically his team as much as AF.

His legs are totally gone, pass was never absolute lightning but he was like an extra forward in his prime. Kicking was always good as well despite the maligned box kick. Sexton and Murray were the best Irish 9 & 10 combo ever.

Sexton is probably the best Irish player ever. If the team produces a Ferris or Sean Oā€™Brien type and a real replacement for Furlong (that would mean theyā€™re v good), they can go very well in 27.

Ringrose is probably an underachiever with the talent he has.

Dā€™Arcy is very like Hansen and Iā€™d say heā€™d do that roaming Hansen thing off the wing today

In the context of that game, he was playing inside a corpse

Very good shout. A lot of people donā€™t know what Dā€™Arcy was like as a young player.

We saw in 2004 what the real him was. After that he changed his game to work for Leinster and Irelandā€™s selection needs.

Delighted to be backing Rassieā€™s Springboks tonight and for the remainder. Baie geluk Suid-Afrika!

The aul emotional well

This has the feel of a Galway - Dublin hurling match where youā€™re not really bothered whoā€™ll win and you expect the game to be a bit of a chore as well.

Etzebeth could do serious damage potentially.

I like Farrells son though. He is a serious player. Hope its close anyway.

Donā€™t be ridiculous.

Iā€™m looking forward to it tbh. Hope its close or Iā€™ll go back to watching bodies, which is very good.

The man who laughed at the haka and then proceeded to piss all over New Zealand.

Moxy.

And here he is now to kick our hemispherical representatives into the lead.

Lots of empty seats there.

Building the scoreboard pressure early.

He is a quality player in fairness.

Good start for England anyways.

A bit like the Argies last night.

John Bull means business
