It will take a good side to stop Ireland. Not us anyway.
Yeah they look like a well oiled machine, very few errors
-
What has happened to Fekitoa, Piutau, they used to be good.
-
@kiwiinmelb how many of this team play for Leinster? A fair number. 10? It shows. They know each other so well.

And pretty simple rugby too... get some momentum up front and then some nice back play - usually a change of line or an inside ball --- but hey have a # of players hitting each ruck regardless - nice to watch
-
Well done Barnes. He’s no carley.

It’s the tonga forwards that are letting the side down. Not ex AB.

The game against South Africa is a must watch ,
Irelands precision against South Africa’s brutality

Ireland lose in the quarters though - thought it was a tradition?

@Jailbreak7 said in RWC Week 2: Ireland v Tonga:
Tonga has been awful, falling off tackles, messing around with the ball on the ground, just a training run for Ireland.
Most of those prodigal sons who have returned are ready for the knackers yard.

That try (just) keeps game alive.
-
are the halves allowed around the scrum like that - or that rule not being played in RWC?
-
@Mattasaurus so was ABs never losing a pool match. 😬

@kiwiinmelb Yes. It been a sell out for months.

Its things like this that really annoy me - inconsistently applied yet most probably one of the easiest to see and enforce...

Smart by Ireland taking Sexton off.

Just crap from the 10
