    @chimoaus better control than Carter? Really?

    I would take Carter all day long, but you have to admit the way Sexton controls this Irish team he is like a composer.

    @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.

    @voodoo was being a bit lenient, forget $1.05, they should be $1.01

    So how do we beat Ireland?

    Same way you beat any other Rugby team: better them up front, win the collisions, take your chances ruthlessly.

    @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.

    Is this Ireland team the best team of the professional era?

    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

    Fair enough but I think peak Carter happened behind some very good AB forwards.

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

    It's a genuine question if they can win the World Cup. They are a machine.

    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)

    @chimoaus most of the time, yes. But he also played some games behind misfiring packs. 2008 anyone?
