    Ireland once again playing down to "lower" opposition.

    From what i saw there didn't seem to to be any game plan whatsoever?

    Positive to take from this.

    A monumental kick up the ar$e for the team/squad to take for the remainder of the tournament

    Absolute shower Ireland. No fitness no shape no leadership. Same old story. I'd honestly pack up now. New Zealand will murder us (if we qualify). Haven't scored since the 20th minute.
    They were fit but very humid and Japanese plan is to run teams to death. It's the lack of scores from the 20th minute that was the huge problem.

    Fair play to ya taking great joy in your countrymen losing, off and support Liverpool there in the English league.

    People will troll and whatever, but I will never understand an Irish person actively enjoying watching a team of Irish lads lose. That mindset is honestly baffling to me

    We were poor but the moment Gardner stood there and looked at their 7 being offside, told him as much and didn't award an advantage you knew he was reffing the teams differently. That would've set it up a penalty and Ireland to get possession back.

    Instead they got 2 penalties when Gardner was nowhere near the play, no warnings just penalties.

    It was a garbage performance. They got away with a clear red last week and then there was no citing, and now that display.

    Maybe they're not aware of it, but they're being reffed differently and being held to a lesser standard

    Easy to believe, Ireland have been **** for the last 12 months.

    Can we have an automatic reminder that we have beaten New Zealand in the last 12 months

    That’s a worse result for Scotland than Ireland. We’re pretty much guaranteed to qualify now.

    What’s annoying about today is now we have to pick a strong team against Samoa and could end up with more injuries due to how we and they play.

    Urgent message to Joe Schmuck and Andy Farrell:- lads, we urgently need to import more SH mercenaries and give them Irish jerseys.

    Just fishing for someone to bite on this comment. If you can't support the team or make some objective criticism just don't comment instead of making personal attacks on them......

    That was a totally different Japanese team to the one that played Russia

    The elephant in the room just grows bigger when the panel completely ignore the refs performance. Whether they thought it was good, bad or indifferent it had to be addressed.
    Not a great performance by the ref. Offside is something in fairy tales and the high tackle seems to be a movable feast.

    Good job Joe is leaving after the world Cup

    There’s no coach in the world that can get this country to not bottle a Rugby World Cup, we are serial bottlers.

    We didn’t score for 60 minutes, that’s 60 minutes against Japan and tbf we didn’t come close. Tactics second half where a complete failure we just kicked the ball away with no compete.

    Gardner is a shocking ref, after all the criticism last week you’d hope the eye on would improve, instead he was allowed ref today to a shocking standard

    If Best had retired last November, he would have gone out on top with everyone remembering him for the brilliant player and leader he was.

    As it is, this poor end to his International career will leave a sour taste.

    It's a massive difference in defence when the ref allows you to illegally slow down the play and line up offside at the breakdown. That gives a huge advantage to a defending team

    D'aaw our traditional world cup meltdown, I'm sucker for traditions me.

    If a book is ever written about Ireland's exploits at the RWC it should simply be titled 'Calamity'.

    What an embarrassing sporting day for this nation.

    The hype was vile after beating the Scots last week. The ego in this country and in that rugby squad is disgusting to see.

    Outfought, outgunned and out muscled by ****ing Japan
