    If that was true why wouldn't teams just sub a back for a forward?

    It obviously depends on how you play (Ireland vs ABs).

    A man down and still dominating. Ireland very impressive. Hoping we dont hit them in the quarters

    Much easier to lose a back than a forward, especially if you control possession.

    If that was true why wouldn't teams just sub a back for a forward?

    When SBW saw red against the Lions we subbed Kaino for another back, so the ABs think the opposite?

    Hah not sure if that worked or not.

    The gap between Ireland's starting halves and the next best is staggering.

    Luckily they've got forward depth, even if their skill set is limited. As @mariner4life said about Pocock: one trick, but does it well

    This has been a terribly disappointing RWC for the Pacific Islands.

    This has been a good workout for the knockouts. Tough oppo from Samoa.

    VdF has had a good game - his tackle count must be pretty high.

    Every time a Samoan puts in a remotely hard tackle, Nic Berry has to say "no foul play" in response to yet more Irish whinging. Honestly, they just do not stop do they?
