Schimdt whinging about the ref. Just cop it mate. You lost to a better team on the day.
No fucking way, I ever want Joe Schmidt anywhere near the All Blacks coaching set up after that. Totally pathetic and classless.
His team looked second rate. That's entirely on him. There's no way they have the mental fortitude to win a quarter final based on that performance. Absolutely dreadful.

If anything the ref allowed the Irish far too much leeway to constantly recycle

@antipodean thats thier 4th? loss of the seaosn too, definitely peaked last year...

@sparky said in RWC: Japan v Ireland (Pool A):
Ireland are shite. Scotland are worse. Great chance for Japan and Samoa to be the teams that make it out of Group A.
Umm... they aren’t much better

Not the Palmy North way, must’ve got that in Ireland
I'm back in Palmy right now! Haven't seen the game (family shit got in the way), and haven't see Joe since he coached my PNBHS U14 Basketball team c. 1990.
But am disappointed to hear he was whining about the ref, was any of it it justified?

Moved onto a potato shochu in celebration!

@voodoo thought Gardner managed the game excellent. He allowed it to flow as best as he could and if anything Ireland were lucky to not be penalised more for their tactics at the breakdown.
The offsides that Joe mentioned in his interview were very easy calls for the ref.

@Number-10 said in RWC: Japan v Ireland (Pool A):
When Japan beat South Africa in 2015, Japan was 13th ranked and South Africa 3rd.
Today, Japan was 10th ranked and Ireland 2nd.
This was more emphatic IMHO

And if Japan hadn't scored YCs would have been waved.

Nah, even if Japan win, they could easily drop a game to Samoa and/or Scotland. But Ireland will beat Samoa and Russia.
Scotland didn't look interested against Ireland and are down a further two first choice players trough injury. Scotland v Russia might be a contest.
Samoa could be the real surprise - if Ireland can't improve on today's performance, I can see Samoa beating them. Ireland looked old and tired...

@PecoTrain and bereft of ideas....thier kicking game was well off too, those 2 kicks form hand early in the game were absolute shit when Ireland were going forward and should have kept in hand.

The 50/50 calls probably went Japan’s way. But many Irish fans always, and I mean always, blame the ref when they lose.
The simple fact of the matter is that Ireland’s Risk free one up runners and recycling combined with box kicks only works if your team is not tired. They looked lethargic and just had no other ideas.
They did get a losing BP which is actually pretty big actually. But they’ll be wary about putting out a B side vs Samoa.
