RWC Week 3: Springboks v Ireland
-
What a novel idea having winger with a really big boot that can carve off huge chunks of territory..?
-
@Steven-Harris or any back with a huge boot.....
-
If we want to beat Ireland we have to get ahead so that they are forced to chase. Imo we need frizzell and blackadder in the 23. Any of these vaia type featherweights and we can forget it. We are really lucky to have Italy next so we can really concentrate on the ¼ final with the top team and let the reserves play Uruguay.
-
@Billy-Tell there's going to be 8 or 9 days between the Uruguay game and the quarter. If we beat Italy roll the top team out again vs Uruguay.

Or wanting to kick it long

Jeez I love rugby played by two great teams.
SA has more upside IMO. The bomb squad and SA backline defence seriously awesome.
Ref high praise. -

Max for one half though. Don’t need a Dupont like injury while well ahead
-
Is that the best pool match of all time?
Off the top of my head I can’t think of a better one for quality of opponents

Helluva match by Ireland. They could’ve won by far more if their lineouts hadn’t been total gash.
Books would've won if they had a kicker and a spare hooker. At least you'll have one of those missing pieces for the rest of the tournament
-
Assuming we meet Ireland in the quarter, both sides have a monkey to shake: Ireland their quarter hoodoo and us with Ireland having the better of us the past handful of encounters

Rivals include:
South Africa v Aussie '95
NZ v England '91 and '99
NZ v SA '19 -

@akan004 may as we’ll go home now then, as SA will likely now be on the other side of the draw from NZ unless Scotland pull off a shock
Not out of the question. Ireland will be pretty fucked after that game.
-
@taniwharugby sounds like the exact same scenario as 2019 😉
-
The Kiwi Irish are stars in green.
Why have we struggled?
