The irony is, Ireland can the game well at pace, yet are awful time wasters.

Yes cos they are there ultimate team ATM. Against teams that want speed, they slow it down, against those that want slow, they'll speed it up. I've said from the beginning RWC favourites by a large margin

It’s almost as if Farrell designed his team to be the ultimate counter to unstructured play. If you don’t give the opposition any counter ball they have to try and get through your defence or force them into mistakes.

I don't see how any team is going to stop Ireland from romping to the title.

Another Foster first - we boycott the QF because we have absolutely no chance against the greatest 1st 5 ever. He’s better than Carter, Ella, Larkham

[Mattasaurus]

tough penalty there, felt he came through nicely ....

this game is over already...

[chimoaus]

@ACT-Crusader His control skills are the best but to say he is Better than Carter on attack is a stretch.

[chimoaus]

So how do we beat Ireland?

[Canes4life]

Lol I don’t know who the commentator is but far out he’s fluffing Ireland. Sounds like they are the best team to ever play the game, the games already over etc.

I wouldn't put him ahead of Larkham either tbh - .. still one of the greats - but a very different player to peak Carter or Larkham ... more of a Wilkinson type of player -- but that may be my SH biases showing

[KiwiMurph]

@Canes4life the game is already over.

[kiwiinmelb]

No doubt they are a more complex side now under Farrell than they were under Schmidt

[Canes4life]

@KiwiMurph man I hope we beat them next week. They need humbling.

To be fair though they look booody good.

[Billy Tell]

Scotland backs showing NZ how not to defend. Plus they just can’t create anything to save themselves.

Well if they win the WC and take the unbeaten record in this competitive era I suggest they could be considered one of the best ever.

Embarrassing

[voodoo]

No need to review the obstruction by Aki or the grounding there

[ACT Crusader]

Just in case you didn’t hear it, this game is over.

Not sure why the Scotland players even put on the jersey today.

[stodders]

@chimoaus better control than Carter? Really?

[taniwharugby]

@chimoaus discipline

[Mattasaurus]

Hmmm TMO not even checking the grounding etc, just popping my tinfoil hat on for a second.... do the ABs or even SA get a TMO free pass like the 1st or last Irish try?

@Mattasaurus Sexton can do some of what Carter did. Carter could do everything Sexton does.
