@NTA I was going to ask why you are so snarky but I'd be pretty crabby too if my team hadn't won a RWC this millennium.
well that, and being dragged to Billy Elliot last night.
I love how it's a 3rd tier sport. Except all long the East Coast of Australia. And probably the West Coast.
It's just a little sad that a prosperous nation of 25 million sports lovers can't find 30 decent rugby players.

Furthermore, i find it pretty ungrateful for an Australian to be heckling us about our rugby record. We are doing everything we can to bring you back up to Tier 1 level where you think you belong.
We've given you coaches. We've given you administrators. Fuck, we've given you half of your players. Short of actually handing you the trophies, we've done everything we possibly can to make you successful again. But you keep returning to your historical mean.
Some people just can't be helped.

A million of whom support the fucking All Blacks!

Apparently Ireland and Samoa are doing something.
Don't worry about it, not relevant to the discussion.
Doesn't Robbie have the 7th best record of all Aussie coaches? Better than Jones, Mckenzie and Cheika.

hard to keep track, there was a point there where they were turning over coaches as quick as turned over Prime Ministers
-
@mariner4life Yeah, they were all shit as well.

Great discussion about Ireland v Samoa

There's a clip doing the rounds of the Irish players hiding the ball under turf during the Captain's run. I'm sure it'll all be fine.
Nothing to see here.

Oh get over yourselves.
The Ireland schtick is becoming wearisome. England, France, New Zealand all get a wave-through to the next stages, and save on wear and tear. It's a plus for them. Having less game time and longer than planned for rest might work against them somewhat but I'm sure it's something they all can handle.
Parisse & Co are rightly raging about the decision but not a lot can be done about it. If Ireland win, and Scotland v Japan gets cancelled then I'd be spitting tacks if I was Townsend. It certainly puts a blemish on the tournament. Hopefully it can go ahead.
Ideally
for the organisers,Samoa would beat Ireland and then it wouldn't matter as much if the other game was cancelled.- Good. You guys have become more unlikable than the English. Stop whinging about us whinging about you whinging.
Yes I remember that clearly. Whinging about whinging about whinging about whinging is the new internet blood sport. But no one dies.

@mariner4life said in RWC: Ireland v Samoa (Pool A):
well, this is all very seemly
Derm what are your hopes for this game? What are you looking for? (except 5 points obviously). More of the exact same, except a bit better?
Because you blokes haven't looked great thus far, and you are off to a quarter against us probably (unless Scotland suddenly turn up) in about a week.
The team has been shit so far. I'm hoping they can be less shit, but I'm not holding my breath. Schmidt has lost his mojo, and the team don't believe in each other any more. Loss of form, poor handling, doughy attack, and leaving Devin Toner at home.
They'll probably lose to Samoa just to cap Schmidt's send-off.
