This is the most nervous/excited I've been for a game in around 8 years.

Relax - we won!!!

Edit: Oh, you mean THIS game!

Yeah. Was just thinking, it's shit that we have to play Ireland at this stage, but it's definitely made today a whole lot more fun.

Oh, fuck off, is all I have for that.

You can all relax. I've taken a massive hit for the team today, dusting a shit load of cash on the horses, exhausting all my bad luck for the day. I'm now due, and you're all welcome.

I'm warming up watching Dublin 2016. Sexton is a cynical arse at times, but we brought the physicality. Crowd so one eyed is not funny

Has a kiwi coach ever knocked the ABs out of a world cup? I'm thinking... Not yet...

@mariner4life Has done the same it seems. The Somme might be a bit OTT but you two are doing a great job on using up the bad luck front.

We need:
@booboo to go to bed
@Donsteppa behind a couch
@Chris-B in a cupboard

I've done my bit - I'm not in Japan.
It's going to be fine. It's going to be fine. It's going to be fine.

This waiting thing sucks.

Twinning!!!

[Frank]

Prediction.
We win rather easily.
-our team is better than 2018
-our tactics are better than 2018
-no home ground advantage for the Irish.
-their team is worse than 2018

The couch has been strategically placed for hiding behind in preparation!

Irish Journalistic (or should that be Jingoistic) bingo:

Haka questioned? Check.
All Blacks cynical cheats? Check
Poaching? Not yet
Pick on individual's off field behaviour? Check ...

Stuff

Ireland taking the moral high ground ...

Gutter level IMO.

Sorry Neil. This one's been done earlier.

I hope we cynic the fuck out if them!!!

[Bones]

I kinda hope Reece plays shit and we still tear them a new one.

[sparky]

Love our team, love its history, love its culture, love that we never, ever forget.

The Irish are proud, but we are proud too.

It's time to journey further again. Time to unleash hell and magic. Go Black!

Update: Mrs TA suggested we hit the pub for a local band after dropping the kids post birthday party.

In choosing between Rugby and getting laid, I'm going for the latter.

Godspeed you all

But Ronan has inside knowledge on Richie which would be valuable because he hasn't played enough test footy for teams to fully analyze him yet.

I doubt that Ronan knows much about Richie that they can't see from Crusaders and AB matches. Maybe what he has for breakfast or something? That is probably the real reason why Joe didn't bother calling him, there wasn't much to learn.

Isn't it Mounga who sticks his fingers down his throat before matches... so the breakfast is gone for the match anyway...?
