Fucking GO IRELAND! I'm just going to bust a rib laughing if Ireland win this.

Deadmeat · 17th September 2011, 23:01

epic game to be sure

edit: 9pt lead!

A Corpse · 17th September 2011, 23:03

I'm grinning like a Canadian on South Park.

Ireland just shoved Australia over to the other side of the draw. We have to go through Argentina then the winner of Wales/Ireland to reach the final.

BoyWonder · 17th September 2011, 23:26

So great

Australia = overrated. Samoa's big win started their downfall by making them pull out all the stops to perform in the Tri Nations. Now the RWC is here and they are out of ideas

xor · 17th September 2011, 23:27

Incredible game. Irish forwards dominated

orpheus · 17th September 2011, 23:27

the best part is now either Aus or SA will exit at the quarter finals since it appears they will meet in QF3

Oops, incorrect. We'll meet winner of SAF/AUS in semis. Dam

orpheus · 17th September 2011, 23:37

this just opened up the other side of the draw big time...

There are two things that are certain to happen at any rugby world cup. One is that the Wallabies scrum will fall apart and their front row will look like the Powerpuff Girls. The second involves the All Blacks.

If you mean losing to France then yeah I hope we do. Would give us a better quarter/semi draw.

I humbly submit that you are not correct in your assertion of certainty on the second point. We've won it before. I won't bother to argue over the first point. XD

JERI · 18th September 2011, 02:07

Just watched the replay over late dinner, ended up fixated on the screen for the last half without touching my plate.

Holy shit Ireland GG!!

fixed_truth · 18th September 2011, 09:27

Ireland won the game of rugby against Australia and this was a surprise because normally Australia is better at playing rugby than Ireland is.

HO-Hoon · 18th September 2011, 10:06

The Aussies have just learnt the same lesson we already know in that the team is just not the same without their star openside flanker.

ZoSo · 18th September 2011, 10:16

Great game. Was yelling hardcore. Go the Irish!

Phrack · 18th September 2011, 11:37

Bank account got a nice boost after that. Ireland 1-12 @ $6.50. Although I wanted Bowe to score because of Coopers amazing pass, I was secretly hoping not.

Not suprised Ireland won, they have played well against the Aussies in the last 4-5 matches. Australia without Pocock/Ioane would always struggle. But was awesome being the only person in an Irish jersey at the pub, made me the number one supporter and recipient of many free drinks.

Phrack · 18th September 2011, 12:57

just watched the boks vs fiji highlights..

How worrying is it to see F Steyn land a penalty from 60m out, with relative ease?

THIS.

Great game so far! Go Samoa! If Wales lose this losing the Springbok game will hurt even more.

Pushing too hard in the scrum. What a fucked game.

Yeah, me too. And the Fijians were focusing on their running game throughout, but couldn't crack the Springbok defence. Is it because they're not physically strong enough compared to the ABs? It looked to me they were pretty powerful runners though.

Deadmeat · 18th September 2011, 21:51

Wales / Samoa got me shouting again, GG
Such a physical game, awesome crowd too it seemed almost a 50/50 split of red vs blue

[WanG] Wandarah · 19th September 2011, 12:19

Canada are a pretty good team I reckon. Totally buggered at the end, and too many mistakes all through - but fucking impressive.

This turn around time for the 'Tier 2' teams really is a fucking shitter though.

Lightspeed · 19th September 2011, 17:42

This looks like a worthwhile watching between games:

The Good, the Bad, and The Rugby

xor · 19th September 2011, 21:41

^^I've always like Richard Loe and the fact that he popped his collar in the doco just solidified his spot as my favorite All Black.

blynk · 21st September 2011, 09:24

So it looks like the French don't really want to win the game. Naming a second string team.

Don't blame them. The loser of this game will have a super sweet run to the finals (ENG-> IRE-> NZ/SA/AUS).

Apart from Parra at fly half, isn't this close to their top side? Who else is missing? Maybe a prop?

Parra did score something like 23points in 15minutes at fly half. Although against Canada, it was a more than Trinh-Duc did. If he wants to see how good Parra is, why not through him in the deep end, match him against the best in the world and then know for the later games if it's a good option or not.

Looks like a strong French team to me with a strong bench.
