Rugby World Cup 2023

[Ax^]

Nice try after sucking up so many tackles

ah was always going to be like this

Irish rugby minds Vs the big heavy bastards of the springbox

just glad no one is on the injury list yet

Dunno where our pillar is when park is clearing?

 

[Cerberus]

is this ‘another level’ of Rugby?

As an occasional fan it seems so. Perhaps you’ll all tell me differently. The hits are incredible…gain line / try stopping tackles. Wholehearted. Something has to give 2nd half, no?

 

[Ax^]

2 beat teams in the world trying to figure out which one going to win the world against France really

 

[quiet guy]

This is just two top tier rugby teams giving it their all.

This could be the final!

 

[two sheds]

Still ahead

 

[Elpenor]

Saffers missed 11 points off the tee I reckon.

You’ll struggle to win without kicking your goals

Ireland gave the ball away by kicking it a couple of times now - need to get hold of the ball

the ball had just come out of that when the ref called it hadn't come out and time.

great game enjoyed that.

 

[Limejuice]

Ireland. Get in!!!

 

[flypanam]

Unfuckingreal

 

[Petcha]

Well that was a bit shit. Ireland were clearly the second best side. Surely the saffas have a goalkicker in their squad somewhere.

 

[skyscraper101]

The crowd singing Zombie. Fucking ace.

 

[Elpenor]

A huge result.

Question is can Ireland now regroup for a QF after the emotional high of this game and looking further ahead can they potentially beat SA in a final

 

[rubbershoes]

That was a game. Wow

 

[Elpenor]

The crowd singing Zombie. Fucking ace.

A top 50 rugby performance in history

 

[Cerberus]

Incredible watch that. So intense

So Ireland weren't the second best TEAM!

 

[Ax^]

think I've just turn the ma and da into rugby fans after dragging the out to watch that

that a game that better than the final unless we win it

 

[skyscraper101]

My decision to sack off the second half of Burnley v United was totally justified.

 

[gawkrodger]

WHAT A FUCKING GAME!

 

[Ax^]

barely have any shoe leather, finger nails or hair left

 

[ddraig]

Woah! What a match, amazing! Massive well done Eire!

 

[two sheds]

I've kept the programme on in case they were going to show some of the highlights - so far we've had people talking and a couple of clips of missing kicks

 

[Smangus]

Well done Ireland!!Great game.

 

[Petcha]

SA left 11 points out there. They lost by 5. Some of those kicks I'm fairly sure I could have nailed. Ludicrous from the management to not put a goal kicker in the side.

20% strike rate? Nah. You dont win like that.

No Pollard no win. But it looks like he’ll be back for the knock out stages

First part probably, second part right now I’d say no.

 

[sleaterkinney]

The crowd singing Zombie. Fucking ace.

Why though?

A lot of Irish teams in the past would have had the skill but nowhere near the mental strength to win a game like that. It’s been building a while. We also left some points out there by kicking for the corner and not getting the throw.

 

[skyscraper101]

Why though?

Because the DJ played it over the PA system after the final whistle and muted the chorus so all you could hear was thousands of Ireland fans singing it.
