Nope. I can feel the hurt in Invercargill from west Wirral.
The Blicks will storm into the Oirish ,keep parity upfront and spread the ball quickly.
Ireland are in for a reality check and then assume gobshyres of Sexton and OnMahony silenced .
The most obnoxious pair in world rugby .

I hope you’re right but don’t share your optimism. Think Ireland at the moment have a blend if rugby that may take them all the way. If they don’t do it this time, it maybe some time before they’ll be in the position again. |  |

Assuming we win Saturday, who is the preferred opponent in the semis?
Ireland who are ranked #1 and beat SA in the group or NZ who we haven’t beaten in most peoples living memory? | | | |

I’d prefer Ireland simply as the All Blicks have the hoodoo sign over us.
That said, the Oirish are now so cocky that they warrant a good thrashing. It won’t happen though . | |

We’ve got our work cut out tomorrow as Argentina have pulled themselves together after that abject performance against England, so a Wales win is far from a formality.
If we were to prevail, I’d prefer to play Ireland, but I think NZ are going to beat Ireland. I appreciate Ireland are the world number 1, but we’ve more chance of beating them than NZ who we haven’t beaten in donkeys years. NZ have our number. | | | |

This is probably true, but I think we’d have a punchers chance against the Irish. Them on a bad day, us on a good day kind of thing. NZ still beat us even when that happens. | | | |

Don't want to play the ABs. The one thing I worry about Ireland is their World Cup pedigree. It's not great. I think Quarters is their best. They have the team..do they have the bottle? Also there is no such thing as a bad New Zealand side.
Ireland by 10
Argentina just.
So it will probably be Wales and New Zealand..c'mon on the Oirish! | | | |

Yep, The Oirish under sexton are an arrogant bunch but The Blicks invariably find a way

I was gobsmacked today when I was told who this current rugby international player is -

No googling!! 😂 |
George North 👍 | |

They'd have lost to Ireland or New Zealand in the semis anyway. |  |
| Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back. |

They deserved it, but we played right into their hands.
Nearly every facet of the game, we fvcked up!! | |

That’s what happens when you play boring, non stop kicking, fault ridden, negative rugby.
Fully deserved loss. | |

We screwed up
However you won't see worse reffing in your life
Morgan was appalling
Imagine Sexton putting up with that
Still the anti rugby lads who were bullied to play rugby will be happy
My missus has not been harmed neither our female dog | |

Imo and I'm no expert but the reason we lost wasn't the referee. |  | | |

That high hit is a massive game changer if a moment. Then the try came when they were holding on the ground.
We didn’t deserve to win second half but a fair chance would have been nice. |  |

We lost our best defender at the worst time having to go off for a HIA due to non foul play
Where the frck were the Welsh fans as it seemed the gobby Argies were the only noise there's bad day
Anti egrets happy though clearly | |
