RWC: Ireland v Samoa (Pool A)

@mariner4life said in RWC: Ireland v Samoa (Pool A):
well, this is all very seemly
Derm what are your hopes for this game? What are you looking for? (except 5 points obviously). More of the exact same, except a bit better?
Because you blokes haven't looked great thus far, and you are off to a quarter against us probably (unless Scotland suddenly turn up) in about a week.
I’m hoping they don’t play themselves into form and suddenly click in the quarters against us .
Mostly because I don’t want the abs to be knocked out on the quarters and also because I’ve enjoyed being a prick about them getting bukkaked by the Japanese and there’s probably a couple of Irish lurkers dying to get payback. -

I only fear England and SA this world cup and to a much less degree, Australia

Touche (I really wanted to spell that Douche, I don't do acutes).

Short memories, Kiweenslander.

@NTA 1999 was quite some time ago wasn't it? I hadn't thought about it being the last millennium since Aus won a RWC. Reminders are good, thanks Nick.
but, importantly, they haven't choked.
You have to be favoured to win for it to be even considered a choke. Like they were in 87. And 95 too i guess.
Short memories i guess...

Winning 25% of World Cups entered when its a third-tier sport is punching well above our weight, I'll have you know. Soon to drop to 22% after we get bundled.
The speed with which "BUGGEST WUNNUNG PERCINTUGE" turns to "But we weren't favourites in those RWC bro eh?" is awesome to behold, for a country obsessed with the sport.
Just like the "Always made the semifinals unlike everyone else" evaporated after 2007

@NTA I was going to ask why you are so snarky but I'd be pretty crabby too if my team hadn't won a RWC this millennium.
Sorry, Wayne and I can't hear you over the sound of Richie crying.

Fix your post. Don't think you should use the Google link.
Do I need to explain everything? 😉

well that, and being dragged to Billy Elliot last night.
I love how it's a 3rd tier sport. Except all long the East Coast of Australia. And probably the West Coast.
It's just a little sad that a prosperous nation of 25 million sports lovers can't find 30 decent rugby players.

Furthermore, i find it pretty ungrateful for an Australian to be heckling us about our rugby record. We are doing everything we can to bring you back up to Tier 1 level where you think you belong.
We've given you coaches. We've given you administrators. Fuck, we've given you half of your players. Short of actually handing you the trophies, we've done everything we possibly can to make you successful again. But you keep returning to your historical mean.
Some people just can't be helped.
