neither team much chop with ball in hand, but gee thier defence and ruck work is top notch
No real use having attack, if they don't allow you to use it. As what will happen to ABs
-
SA the better rugby players, Ireland the better team.

Sounds like Brer O’Keefe says:
There it is. Where is it. No, hasn’t come out.
He said use it, they didn't, turn over. Right call

@taniwharugby It’s the World Cup success recipe, though, isn’t it? Ball in hand a distant disadvantage.
-
Discipline has been awesome from both teams. No cards - not even a warning
BOK reffed very well - one of his best i think. (I genuinely feel an English or French ref would have made this a very different game)
Cracking game as a neutral - ( my dislike of Sexton makes me want him to lose)
Ireland celebrating like they just won the cup - long way to go yet...... Goal kicking was the difference for me.

I think the defences is the nullifying factor,
Ireland have looked great against lesser opponents a bit like us

This illustrates the Lowe is overrated argument.
-
I’m glad the Irish won, I think I’d rather play them in the quarters than the Boks.

It's Ireland's World Cup to lose.
I can't see us being clinical, smart or physical enough to beat them in a quarter.
Pressure is a funny thing, and Ireland are bigger chokers than even the French at world cups.
-
@KiwiMurph France are up there aswell if Du Pont is fit.
-
SA will simply not leave that many points on the field again this cup.... was it 9 , 12 points they missed from the tee today?
