Darcy Graham fucks up again.

SA are excellent at getting a tackler on the wrong side to obstruct the first attacking cleaner.
Also very good at jackaling the body and not necessarily the ball and making it really hard for the cleaners to move them

Ireland have both of these teams back to back and then a QF?
Unfortunately yes. Ire v Sco will be massive.
Your compatriots think SA are over-rated and Scotland easybeats. I would have though Irish fans have learnt from previous world cups and take nothing for granted.

SA vs NZ. FRA vs Ire. Think that will be the ¼. SA vs FRA final.

Finn Russell is fun to watch. That was genius.
Not the day to have had a spliff before kickoff
Needed speed

Unfortunately there's a lot of bellends following Irish rugby since they've improved the last decade or so. Bandwagoners. Pundits and media are the biggest offenders.

Seriously? Penalty for THAT?
If Farrell had done that to DMac you’d all be setting fire to torches and arming yourselves with pitchforks
Not from me.
But continue on your pro card crusade.
It’s an anti dumb and dirty player crusade
Dumb and dirty can be vastly different though, yet both are treated the same as clumsy and accidental, that's the problem imo

Yeah you’ve basically become the new NZ

SA were not convincing at all … felt the game could have gone either way up to half time. Concern is Kolisi seemed to be limping. Pulled soon after making a steal.
SA were never losing that game imo.

"Your compatriots"?
Utter bollocks. No one thinks SA are over-rated.
Some might think they might play turgid, robotic, terminator rugby - but it's highly effective at winning games.
Any knowledgeable Irish rugby fan isn't thinking beyond getting out of the pool, and if they do, could they possibly win a quarter-final for the first time.

@Billy-Tell
Maybe. Didn’t feel like it though. Felt like the wheels could come off right up to about the 60th minute -

Herein lies the issue.
True. it's nearly the same in Ireland, in fairness.
