RWC: All Blacks v Ireland (QF2)
-
they were just talking about games under Owens for NZ/Ire on RS
Apparently Ireland have had him 18 times, 3 times v NZ and not won.
We have had him 10 times, lost 3, all v SA

Never Change, Shag. I love the way he responds to some of the more facile and inane questions.
He's unflappable. Definitely wheels out his detective mask to put them in their places, its brilliant

Interesting that he specifically says they don't expect an aerial bombardment, double tripple bluff? They'd have to tie Murray's shoe laces together to stop the box kicks!
Trying to fool the fooler. Good stuff

@Machpants mind games.
Read something yesterday about him joking about setting a trap (or were they)
-
Now, I've heard it all! Owens will allow the ABs to cheat more.
-
He may allow the game to flow more ,open running rugby will suit us down to the ground obviously,
They want a stop start borefest, but they can’t say that , it sounds too negative and against what is good for the game

@Bovidae
Kind of a pathetic story.
Any Irish journalist could go online, find some whinging Kiwis fans somewhere, then headline it-
Kiwi fans aren't happy with .....................the team announcement time?

@Crucial said in RWC: All Blacks v Ireland (QF2):
It just cracks me up when other team’s fans carry on about breakdown ‘cheating’ as if their team is Lilly white.
And that's my point. Ireland wants a ref who allows plenty of leeway at the breakdown but have criticised the likes of Gardner who was stricter with players supporting their own bodyweight.

Weather forecast - warm but rainy.
Will Ireland handle it?
