Yep, egos are out of control! This is gonna bite them bad,when they are leggy in the QF. I could be wrong, they might build nicely. But with this weather today and the fact they would've won comfortably with their second team I just don't see the need for it and like I said no other team would've done itwigworth wrote: ↑Sat Sep 09, 2023 4:24 pmThey are in their own head so much about world cups I sure at this point it is just self sabotage.Scott1 wrote: ↑Sat Sep 09, 2023 4:17 pm I just see this being a big mistake. Would SA,NZ or France gone full bore? I doubt it. And like I've always said there's a very fine line between being battle hardened and shopworn. Tonga next week which they will go full bore then SA then Scotland. I have a funny feeling this is gonna come back to bite Ireland badly

Can't say I am a fan of the virtual background ITV are using, looks pretty cheap and ugly to me.

He is World class, but I didn’t see any new rule saying that you can’t tackle a player trying to score a try if they are world class? Just came across as slightly petulant. The commentators were sycophants of the highest order. I get you can only beat what is put in front of you, but they destroyed Romania, not a tier one nation.
There is never any points for 2nd place...

Yes,the commentary was cringe! Sexton is a great player, just a shame that his attitude and on field personality let's him down. I can't speak for him off field ,he might be differentDr H Flashman MBE wrote: ↑Sat Sep 09, 2023 5:22 pmHe is World class, but I didn’t see any new rule saying that you can’t tackle a player trying to score a try if they are world class?
