I know you might think this but I have examined the situation meticulously.
Carberyâs capitulation didint really make any material difference to Irelandâs final standing. I believe that what actually went wrong for Ireland was their absolutely stupid and completely insane plan of kicking the ball to Beaudean Barrett. This repeatedly created a situation where Ireland no longer had possession of the ball and instead possession was with the greatest rugby player on the planet and he was running at Ireland with the ball very fast. This then gave NZ the chance to score.
The plan of kicking to Beaudean Barrett was about as sensible as a sunroof on a submarine, about as smart as a chocolate teapot. It was just so fucking stupid itâs unbelievable. I canât believe I bought those tactics. However hindsight is a fine thing.
Iâve rewatched the video very carefully and I think next time Ireland should try to create situations where they have the ball and are going towards the NZ tryline, instead of trying to create situations where the best player in the world has the ball and he is attacking the Irish tryline. Maybe the new management will experiment with these new tactics.
Ireland would have beaten SA if they had played them ⌠their problem was they expected Japan to kick the ball to them and when they didnt Ireland hadnt a scooby do what to do⌠kicking the ball out of play instead of going for a draw was one of the most cowardly acts ever seen in sportâŚ
They may as well have went home after that game - they were mentally done.
Did ireland have the ball in that game . ? @BarneyCurley you have been hyping ireland up all year . Take your fucking medicine now admit you were wrong and fuck off for another week like a good man .
Iâve been thinking very hard and Ireland went wrong by not kicking to Beaudean Barrett enough. If BB had the ball then Ireland could have tackled him but they couldnât tackle him enough because he didnât have the ball. Thus the best player in the world went untackled and this gave NZ a big advantage.
Ireland obviously had to tackle the best player in the world to beat NZ but they couldnât do that because they didnât kick to him enough. That was so stupid that I donât know who came up with it, about as smart as a solar powered torch.
The next time Ireland play the ABs the should consider tackling the best player on the planet. If they gave him the ball they could tackle him as much as they want.
Ireland have this uncanny ability to make average players and teams look like the Worldâs best. We were hearing that Japan were incredible but were swatted aside at ease when coming up against a decent team.
You are factually incorrect about that. Ireland have a distinct advantage over France and England for the 6 Nations. On a level playing field like the World Cup Ireland struggle as we saw when Japan made a show of them.
The 6 Nations depends massively on the draw because home advantage is so huge. If Ireland draw England and France in Dublin and Wales draw them both away then Ireland has a massive advantage over Wales.
French and English players are contracted to their clubs so the national teams donât get the same access to their players as Ireland do. Irish players are contracted to the IRFU not their clubs. Ireland are really falling short in the 5 Nations, they should really be winning it every year.
Yes exactly. In 2009 we were lucky because we had England and France at home. They were the two best teams and then we got lucky against the Wales in Cardiff.
In 2018 we were very lucky and got Wales in Dublin. We wouldnât have beaten that Welsh team in Cardiff.
Beauden Barret had 21 carries against Ireland. It is an All Blacks record in a World Cup match. Breaking a long standing record of 20 by someone against Italy in 1987.
Being away to France and England actually benefits Ireland. Due to the internationals being at home the clubs further delay releasing their players, giving Ireland an unfair advantage.
