@ShitMcCaw said in RWC QF: All Blacks v Ireland:
Every Irish person that reads this forum and reads all of the CONSTANT and incessant WHINING
must feel Sexton posts here?
-
@ShitMcCaw TBH if one of our players behaved the same way as Sexton (esp abusing a ref) he would get treated with the same disdain and âconstant and incessant whiningâ on here.
It really has little to do with you beating us so you can drp that approach to defending inexcusable behaviour.

@antipodean
Too busy scowling at something.I love you guys and I love your team but in fairness the amount of time you spend doing âdeep divesâ on the âmoral deficitsâ of our team is a bit weak. Sexton knows youre the best. We all
Know youâre the best. Why the need to kick us when weâre down. Definitely donât see that on saffer forums. Saffers seem way more straight forward and generous. -
Maybe when all the focus is on one player the problem might be with him ⌠?
POM called Sam Cane your name. Then watched as he played MOTM to knock him out of WC. We enjoyed it.
As for being insecure âŚ. Well yeah, nothing new there.
Who knows what the future holds. Perhaps Ireland are permanently in the very top tier now, if so then you should rightly enjoy it. Maybe youâll continue to pump us, maybe you wonât. All to be decided.
Right, SF to prepare for. Enjoy your mad Monday.

@ShitMcCaw Plenty of admiration for your team in amongst the anti Sexton stuff. Some on here donât think some of our guys should be in the team because of off field behaviour, so itâs pretty even handed moral judgement (condescension) not nationality basedđ

@ShitMcCaw stick around and enjoy yourself. We always like the input of foreign fans, their perspectives and knowledge.
Genuinely.

You'll fit right in around here!

Over and out for real.
be better if you stick around, most of us can give plenty of shit and take it, always better to have a wider range of views as it does get a bit narrow at times (although the last 4 years, in particular the last month is what I imagine living in an asylum would be like with the stuff that has come out)

He's still a shit Richie macaw tho, no way Richie wouldn't have gone the full 80. With a broken foot

Coming out of the tunnel, Sam looked like the embodiment of the Laser Kiwi flag. His best game that I can remember.

@ShitMcCaw I enjoy drunken banter so please stay. We definitely have our share of gobby dickheads (Dane Coles chief among them). But including McCaw there is stoopid. I've been to an event where he was keynote speaker and he practically had to be beaten with a stick to speak. Gobby that boy certainly ain't.

This is me too. I don't begrudge the Gregan's of the world, heck that sledge was funny as hell. Incessant whining at the ref or blaming the ref afterwards, that's best left for the Fern, it's beneath the greatest players.

Well I didn't see that coming, mainly I didn't expect us to play so well. Ireland certainly didn't choke and it was two quality teams facing off against each other.
Our forward pack was very good, in general won the collision and set-piece was solid if not edging the Irish. Our short kicking game improved immeasurably in that it evolved from a disorganized, head scratching chaos to being able to see an organized and discernable plan to kick the ball short and have a competitive chase.
Great to see Kane and Savea actually playing like loose forwards and getting turn overs.
I thought we did a great job of converting our opportunities into points - the Irish turned down several kicks at goal which cost them (for reference ask AB fans the wisdom of turning down shots at goal in must win games as you chase tires, tries tires!!)
Our Achilles heels as in my mind we have two of them.
- Our exits are still terrible and even when executed don't relieve pressure
- Our discipline in the red zone is lacking
In short though a very good game of rugby, Ireland only held out by a couple of big defensive plays at the end. The D in the closing minutes though was epic and disciplined - I guess we held our discipline when it mattered most

Dupont looking to ake up the mantle, maybe
