Rugby World Cup 2019

Yeah, we have some ability and some good players, but still not bringing the performances together yet.

Decent defence, good at the breakdown (very good 6 and 7), and we can score tries, so it's a platform, but we have to improve some more. Not convinced by Slade, and Daly isn't the complete fullback. We do have pace/power and skill on the wings though, and some powerful linebreak runners.

Australia played well in parts, but strategically they are somewhat lacking - keep playing 7s rugby in your own 22 and you'll concede points.

NH = 1
SH = 0

Come on Ireland!

Not long got to the pub. Apparently all the Aussies fucked off at half time.

They're going home

Strategically, yes.

Their No.11 is a good player. Most of their pack put in decent (not outstanding) performances, but 9/10/12/15 - their playmakers, poor...

10 nil to the ABs!

Long way to go
But

17 - 0 to All Blacks after 20 minutes

24 minute mark.
NZ 17 IRE 0

:bananaman:

I want to be a rugby commentator. I mean how much experience do you need to say "someone needs to put a finger in the dam for Ireland and try and stop that All Black machine"?

I'm pretty sure they're trying FFS.

I mean I could use all the cliches:

"They're leaving everything on the pitch".
"The All Blacks are coming at them from all angles".
"At the moment the momentum is all with New Zealand".
"At least Ireland can console themselves that they're better than Scotland".
"The pikies are shit and that's why the nips beat them".

Etc.

Pretty impressive so far.

Ireland have made lots of mistakes, but under immense pressure. Tactically, the White Ferns are in a different league to Ireland this game.

I see no positives about that half.
