    More gold from our haka hating Irish kickball guy.

    Is he the Ratpoo of Ireland?

    It gets better.

    Yes this guy is a certified twat. The Irish Twattue.

    Thankfully people screenshot his deleted tweets.

    @booboo He’s ‘branding’ himself, admittedly as a clueless, ignorant and offensive arsehole but that’s the ‘brand’

    So yes, the Irish Ratpoo. Best to ignore. Check.

    Not sure if this has been mentioned but Japan are now ranked above Scotland in the WR rankings.
    (Ireland have plummeted to 4th).
    Rankings starting to look more realistic now except SA are too low. They should be 3rd or 4th IMO

    They're up and down like the Assyrian Empire during RWC, as games are worth double points

    Surprisingly most moves are only by one place up or down.
    It was the pre-tournament games in the NH where highly ranked teams played each other in 'friendlies' as preparation that put things out of alignment.
    An Australian win against Wales would put the Convicts up to either 2nd or 3rd and drop Wales to 6th which is a big shuffle though.

    Its tight in around 2-6 with only a tick over 3 points separating the lot. Beat someone above you and with double points....

    One last gloating post before I move on, another post from an Irishman on pr

    Well, Japan chose this game to be played at the hottest time of the day in their most humid part of Japan because they understood very clearly it would give me an advantage against heavier opposition who all live and play in a temperate climate and who would not be able to fully acclimatize to the conditions. And they were right.

    Nope, a lot of them signed up a fair while ago before the "golden era" though, so its not like all of them are recent blow ins . The ones that are the most graceless of them were the worst at gloating about the 2007 quarter final too. Karma is a nasty bitch.

    It takes a strange kind of an Irishman to troll another country's fans for losing a RWC quarter final.

    They are pretty unpopular over on pr, mostly for behaviour like that. They were appalling after that game

    Fortunately they normally stick to their massive Irish Rugby thread. Stops them from polluting the rest of the board.

    Ireland by 30.

    I was really wrong there. I underestimated Japan because of their trouncing by the hands of South Africa during the preparation phase. Now maybe they will face each other for the QF.

    @cgrant Did you watch that game? A lot of the 2nd half of that game was similar to the Ireland game. On difference was that Japan kept on dropping balls, whereas against Ireland the passes stuck

    @rotated no chance the ABs have prepared for the Irish though is there.

    Sure they will. Both sides targeted last years Dublin test and the ABs came out on the wrong side of it.

    I'm not making any predictions, but whoever plays Ireland in the QF will have to take their best shot and they will look a hell of a lot better than they did against Japan.

    @rotated last year the focus was more England, a game that had been being talked up for 2 years, the Irish one only started looking more important in the few months leading in.

    At the end of the day, I really dont give a shit who we play, I'd love to win it beating Ireland, England and Wales, and we will have to win every game any way, so who we meet is irrelevant.
