Pathetic, golden generation in the mud, Irish rugby is done

Mate, get a grip, your team played fantastically well , and their players were hardly pathetic but a credit to Ireland, sometimes you come up against a team who are just as good and marginally proved they were the better team. That’s sport.

Argies have played against NZ far more than any northern hemisphere team, they will know enough not to get wiped out, you can't rule anyone out at the semi's

Battered, utterly battered, 20 point margin minimum.

Battered, utterly battered, eah?

You tipped the welshies didn't you Si?

Got to say, NZ defence was very good, and Ireland lineout very poor, there were options and moments in game, but it wasn't to be. France and SA crush this NZ side. NZ will annihilate Argentina. Bloodbath stuff.

???...I don't think  any annihilation is on any table

I think he'll go back to England. He's absolutely brilliant.

Maybe Farrell will I don’t know, but when they showed him on Tv sitting to his right were two excellent coaches in Paul O’Connell and Simon Easterby . Plus you’ve got arguably the best club coach in Europe in Roman O’Gara still to come in to the national team. And off the pitch Ireland‘s regional structure is the best organised of all the 6 Nations .

Wales will win tonight

Erasmus is next up, thats the word in Irish rugby circles. Cant say I'm say I'm ecstatic about it.

Wales and Ireland out

Bad day for the UK

SA with a proper kicker would have beaten Ireland two weeks ago, what was it, 5 missed penalties? Both France and SA are a heavier unit, and Ireland knocked em back tonight. NZ have a chance in that they've got Argentina to swat aside and lose no one to injury or suspension. Tomorrow is 'D day', England should dismiss Fiji quite handy, and then it's the headliner, top bill, showtime, the big kahuna.... France vs SA.

Ireland played 20 minutes against 14 men and never led. They can have no complaints . The hype here was outrageous. People who never knew the shape of a rugby ball were now experts.

“ knobhead” because somebody points out the obvious that your team played well , dear oh dear.
