Good win Coach but I still have a "what might have been" feeling about the last WC. Hard to shake it off tbf.
Any of you lads & lassies feel the same?

Of course, Ireland were one missed tackle away from winning the quarter final, having already beaten South Africa.

The disappointment still lingers.

The disappointment still lingers.

Personally, I'm still disappointed by the 1991 quarter final (and 1999, 2007, 2011 and 2015...).

Joe McCarthy man of the match last night has Beara blood in him his Dad is a Castletownbere man.

Yes but 2023 was our best chance ever to make the semis or further imo. Just so happened that the group seeding was fcuked up big time.

The good ones do. Didn't Drico have a Cork dad as well. Solid meaty country fuckers adding their DNA to D4.

Italy 3 up on England at HT, 17-14

Sexton shat the bed against NZ with a Ross Byrne impression, playing in the pocket shovelling the ball to his centres who were great considering the service. Crowley made a few mistakes but was top class playing the ball to oncoming players flat on the gain line, his kicking off the ground was top notch.

Ah sher Jonny was an overhyped one trick pony. He was only there to take the 45s.

Mad game in Cardiff. Scots led 20-0 at ht, score another try after but all Wales since, 26-27 with 5 min to go

edit: 1 point win for Scotland

No team with a 4 try BP win bar Ireland. And France getting no losing BP makes the 6 Nations Championship almost in the bag for Ireland even if they lose a game, particularly if France beat Scotland next weekend.
