It's not sustainable that they could start sp against SA and NZ, anyone unsure watch the screen when the camera goes for wider shots and see where Ireland hide him.

It’s actually a farce in modern rugby at this level to have to hide a player because he is so weak in the tackle

And that ultimately is the problem, for a country with an horrific RWC QF record, we'll be badly exposed against the better teams and we're doing it to ourselves. That was the best thing Schmidt brought to Ireland, an unwillingness to pick players lacking in the basic skills of their position.

I think we have to win either tonight or next week ?

Almost definitely.

Complacent team, they know they won't be dropped. Crowd are dead. Home team are on the decline as they currently stand. Away team are poor but never get rolled over.


Fiji and France battering the heads off each other on Paris.

Nah. Australia losing to Italy pretty much sorted all that out.
