    if BBBR can unleash his full-on beast mode, then Ireland are in for a scare. On his day he’s still the best player in the world.

    It's been 4 years since he's been the best luck in the world I fear. Love BBBR, but I really hope you're right

    He's not even our best lock.

    Next week is about territory and defensive accuracy. If we can slow them down and get scoreboard pressure, we can win.

    Sadly, I don't trust Barrett/Mo'unga to do that with the boot, even if the forwards lay the platform, so in reality we will win by scoring tries.

    We need an opening 20 like we had against Sth Africa early in the year.

    They are still waiting to see with Lomax, I would imagine. Moody will probably flyover in case and not join squad officially until he is recquired.

    Maybe Fozzie has set a trap on how everyone expects us to play, if we can go back to the fire we had in TRC early matches, we can certainly win...

    While this Irish side is good, I think they are smarter than they are good.

    They are gaming the rules perfectly, and it's thier discipline that keeps them on the right side of the ref to exploit the rules.

    I'm probably more nervous about this game than the 2011 Final. Just hope the new sofa doesn't get the same teeth marks.

    Crazy to be nervous when we're are clear under dogs. Anything apart from a drubbing will be a bonus

    Unfortunately who is appointed to ref each QF will have as much of an impact as the players. There are certain refs I wouldn't want for the NZ-Ireland game.

    A loony ref might be our best hope.

    DC is undisputed. But Foxy was a cold blooded killer. Just destroyed teams with the way he ran his backline, and his tactical and goal kicking.

    Just letting you know I am still alive. Couldn't contribute to match discussions as my computer decided to upload three gig of data into the cloud and as fast broadband does not pass through the street I am staying in meant that it took something like five hours at rather low speed! This result leaves a much better taste in the mouth than I had expected given the lack of expectations going into the game.
