RWC Week 3: Springboks v Ireland
-
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.

neither team much chop with ball in hand, but gee thier defence and ruck work is top notch
I think the defences is the nullifying factor,
Ireland have looked great against lesser opponents a bit like us

SA the better rugby players, Ireland the better team.
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?
-
@Canes4life he won’t be
