    @akan004 Meh, not fussed. To be the best you gotta beat the best.

    That and what's a hard game for other sides is not necessarily a hard game for the ABs.

    E.g. To be honest we'd put Japan away comfortably. Ireland wouldn't.

    @Bones Pretty much. Styles make fights as they say in Boxing. I still expect Ireland to give us a bit of trouble next week. If we played Japan, then not so much.

        They're pretenders. I don't expect them to bring much if anything.

        I still won't be going down the club to watch. Far too many Irish.

          @Bones Hope you're right haha. I expect us to get home, but get tested for large chunks of the game.

          It would be funny if Ireland were to lose another quarter final after all the hype that comes their way literally before every World Cup.

            They have lost to Wales in the last 4 encounters. Admittedly three of those were in Cardiff and one in the USA, but Wales won't fear them and IIRC had decent form from the 6N

              I think we have a slight edge but wouldn't be surprised if Ireland wins.

                    No Garces or Poite. Owens, Peyper or even (gags) Barnes will be better than Poite Garces or that other farkhead with a French sounding name

                              SA are going to win comfortably against Japan, too much power up front. Moreover, Japan have lost Koo, their starting tight head. I don't know who is their third one but he'll have to pack down against Kisthoff or Mtawarira.
                              Is Mafi still out ?

                                    "In other news, Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has demanded the Scotland-Japan game be replayed:

                                    "It's a bit like the previous Brexit and Scottish Independence votes. The result was so close, and now we know what the result actually means, we need to put it back to the players to decide"

                                        Just because they don't play our style of rugby, it doesn't mean they are shitty. Their structure, defence and discipline makes them dangerous. Throw in some wet weather and Sexton and Murray can become very effective with their kicking game.

                                        What? Where on earth did I say that? They're shitty because they're playing shit. But sure, make up your own brief.

                                        I think we have a slight edge but wouldn't be surprised if Ireland wins.

                                        I'll be surprised, irate and disgusted to lose to such a poor, shitty team.

                                        Oh well, really hope you are right. I think there are signs that they are coming back into form.
