Has Hansen gone stale?

@mariner4life That's Hansen's cunning plan. When we play in the RWC he'll just go, "Sammy, no stupid penalties today right. Or, you Reado."
"Heh, heh. Sorted. Now where's my fish 'n chips, Fozzie?" .

further on Hansen, he has said he will be making an announcement on his future in the next 4 weeks or so....

I hope Schmidt calls in the removalists immediately after that announcement.

will it be tomorrow or wednesday when the fingers start getting pointed across provincial lines?
Why wait!
Look at who the players were who did 90% of the stupid little chip kicks. Look at which franchise they play for. Is it synonymous with rugby intelligence?
Maybe we've seen the failure of Hansen's Plan A - and now it's time to move to Plan A...CT - i.e. just roll out the Crusaders and a Token Brodie (he shoulda been one of us anyway) and a Token Ioane.
I think most observers have highlighted our lack of a decent punishing 6 this year and lets look at where we get all our 6s from.

@mariner4life Well it would help the ABs if 20% of the professional players had been properly developed over the last few years ...

@mariner4life I reckon he and McLEod are the biggest losers over the weekend in terms of value.
Sure Crons scrum took a few hits, but it did get back up and put up a fight.

Cron has a lot of credit in the bank. We've got like 6 test quality props now, with huge development in all of them. Jesus look at Ofa! All anyone used to remember of him were those scrums against the Waratahs. Then he became a very good tight head prop, but no one wanted a bar of him at loosehead. Last two weeks he's been a fucking good loosehead as well. That's coaching right there.

We need a scapegoat ,
I nominate Fozzie ,
I blame Fozzie .
Ireland have two world class coaches in Schmidt and Farrell. We have a world class coach in Shag who might be a bit stale atm, and two clowns as assistants. That's where the game was lost, we were out coached.
Yes - and where do those coaches come from?
We shoulda re-signed Mitch and gone for a trifecta.
Instead of singing the national anthem, we could just get Judy Collins to sing her standard.

The “we were holding something back” argument is always nice wishful thinking, but often bollocks.
I can’t easily remember the last time a team suddenly pulled off a triple scissors esque move for the first time ever in an RWC knockout game.
If we were holding any cards close to our chest this weekend then we’ve been doing so for about 15 months. Perhaps we’ve been holding back having a kicking game that isn’t pedestrian/custard footed. Maybe some of our forwards won’t play in leaden shoes or without buttering their fingers next year...
The hopeful comparisons with the 2015 pool games are all well and good, except this time they all had the Japan game off.
Ultimately it's not smart to have untested hidden genius tactics if they prove to be utterly shit.
But worth it for the gems that Tony Woodcock and the 2011 final provided
Somebody likes teabagging 😉

My English mate reckons Ireland have 1 big game in them every so often. Lets hope that was the game. By christ come RWC time I want us to be so dominant we will have all the other teams sat on their arses and crying for their mummies....
