@KiwiMurph man I hope we beat them next week. They need humbling.
To be fair though they look booody good.
I find it very hard to believe we will have the physicality, discipline or even game plan to beat them.

I’m just hoping it isn’t embarrassing like this.

Ireland are outstanding. They must be massive favourites to win the RWC now.
@voodoo was being a bit lenient, forget $1.05, they should be $1.01

True, and I think you understated Sextons excellence, he’s not just better than Carter was, he’d also make a better 7 than Richie and could probably play hooker in a pinch

It’s a bit difficult to visualise right now ,
It’s like our one trick is to open the game up and run teams off their feet , but it’s not like they don’t know what’s coming

@chimoaus not disputing Sexton is v good. He’s just not in the same conversation as Carter IMO. Carter could win a game on his own behind a retreating pack. Sexton needs his armchair.
Fair enough but I think peak Carter happened behind some very good AB forwards.

Is this Ireland team the best team of the professional era?
Not sure or really think so, but they certainly best team in world rugby at the moment. Jesus this is a clinic on how to play the game.

Speed of Habana and power of Lomu is what I’m hearing too

Ireland are just annoyingly good and seem to be every referee's teacher's pet in addition to that. And they stole Aki and Lowe, two of their best players. Many reasons to dislike them. I guess this is what people felt about the ABs circa 2010-2017 (except the stealing part wasn't even true)
