Hang on, is this a 'we choked more than you choked' competition?
Ireland haven't choked

"or Ireland, it would be not winning a quarterfinal again despite having a pretty good team this time round. But then again, they said that in 2007 too. "

Precisely. Ireland haven't even won an RWC knock-out match yet. It's their quadrennial nemesis. If they fail again on Saturday, it's just more of the same - hopeless at knockout matches. No one has them as favourites to win the RWC - SA, NZ and Fra have been ahead of them with the bookies.

@Derm-McCrum But if they do win, they've never lost a semi or final. Unlike the rest

Very good. Very true. They haven't.

@Derm-McCrum Paddy Power would disagree with you about Ireland being the favourites

@Derm-McCrum In fact, pretty much all the bookies are calling you out on the claim that ireland aren't favourites

You've been on the Fern for so long and still find us less insufferable than Irish rugby fans?
Are we speaking in context of the entire group?

Well that's changed. So joint favourites with France now. Hmmm.
