RWC Week 2: Ireland v Tonga

[stodders]

@Steve they do it with such speed though. Like ABs used to when everyone used to whinge about their ruck entries 😬

[Mattasaurus]

Great stepping there, and some poor tackle efforts there.

Ireland so strong, so organised.

[stodders]

@sparky very. Next week against SA is going to be some game.

Everyone of them know and trust what the other is going to do - impressive - and out there giving it all for each other.....

Pre-Sexton I used to like supporting Ireland.... I just can't stand him.... I'm such a small petty man

[Jailbreak7]

Tonga has been awful, falling off tackles, messing around with the ball on the ground, just a training run for Ireland.

[Billy Tell]

It will take a good side to stop Ireland. Not us anyway.

[stodders]

Andy Farrell will be coaching the Lions in 2025 then.

Yeah they look like a well oiled machine, very few errors

[Jailbreak7]

What has happened to Fekitoa, Piutau, they used to be good.

[stodders]

@kiwiinmelb how many of this team play for Leinster? A fair number. 10? It shows. They know each other so well.

And pretty simple rugby too... get some momentum up front and then some nice back play - usually a change of line or an inside ball --- but hey have a # of players hitting each ruck regardless - nice to watch

[Billy Tell]

Well done Barnes. He’s no carley.

It’s the tonga forwards that are letting the side down. Not ex AB.

The game against South Africa is a must watch ,

Irelands precision against South Africa’s brutality

Ireland lose in the quarters though - thought it was a tradition?

Most of those prodigal sons who have returned are ready for the knackers yard.

[Billy Tell]

That try (just) keeps game alive.

[stodders]

Ireland almost AB like with their (lack of) discipline.
