Ireland v Samoa

kuang1

I'm not doing a write up, as the only one I ever did was for the NZ game last November.

I might do the QF one if we get there.

The Rape of Lucretia

Training games against the minor nations don't really need them tbf.
I'll do the final.

Temp|: 21 degrees, humidity: 70%, so not too bad.

best of luck to the Irish team

Gwynplaine

Can clearly see that Heaslip and Ferris cant stand each other.

Says under 30km/h so not crazy, but don't know how accurate google weather is.

Ideal
Where did you get that

Professor Genius

A big underperforming huff and puff game from Ireland. May sneak a bonus point. Joe will blame pitch/weather/humidity etc.

Probably because Ferris carried Heaslip a lot in games....

Bitter as f**k about everything to do with IRFU so he will never compliment team even if the WC is won

How many years was Ferris retired when Heaslip got nominated for World player of year

I would say a comparison of medals would be a quick discussion

Clareman

Like playing in the Sportsground in Galway is how the described it on Newstalk

Murof

Ireland 36-12 Samoa

This is it

Pitch looks awful

MadYaker

Who is the woman on the panel on Eir sport?? Holy

Beechwoodspark

Have to laugh at Eddie o Sullivan. He has an answer for everything now that he’s a pundit.

kuang1

Thinking v similar and forgot to include a prediction...
Ireland 37-10 Samoa

ionadnapokot

Fast start again please
Samoa have been decent in the first 40 mins

Clareman

Bonus point win with no injuries or suspensions is the ideal result here I think, then again that's the ideal result in every game

That’s the “emer-nator”

Sure he had an answer for everything as a manager as well, it's just it was often the wrong answer

LuckyGent88

Just when my sky go is up for using it abroad!! Looks like it’s to dodgy streams now.

If they can’t win this game with a bonus point we don’t deserve a quarter final anyway. Players really need to show up today with a big intensity and get the job done

Shefwedfan

For all the talk of Larmour been small he looked the same height as Aki and a few other player

davedanon

Ferris at his best was an absolute beast at 6. Best ball-carrier ever along with SO'B.

Eddie problem as head coach was he thought as well he had answer for everything

He took on too much and that got him where he is

Naggdefy

The Samoan anthem is a grand little ditty

davedanon

Eddie can be a pain, but I always liked his little sayings: "all our ducks in a row", "running around with our hair on fire" etc.

Imhof Tank

Expecting a good start, relatively comfortable by half time - 2 or 3 tries in the bag - then fatigue, nervousness, wholesale substitutions, a huge Samoan comeback ending in a very tight 3 point win (for us) without the BP.

You can't unring a bell.

shootermacg

I think Kleyn might come on and smash stuff for the final 20.

davedanon

Yes, he missed a trick not putting out an "Eddie O'Sullivan'a Little Book of Zen".

shootermacg

We should be kicking the leather off the ball and forcing scrums today.

Getting the practice in for facing the Haka....

I'm surprised it survived the warm ups

Ireland will win this comfortably enough I think. Anything less than a 15-20 point margin will be disappointing.

The hack of the pitch. Jaaaysus

Clareman

Great start

statesaver

1 down 3 to go

Too easy. Stick to the basics and this will be a hiding.

This is it

Boom. Yes!

MadYaker

Good start but the pitch looks rough

Cypher_sounds

Decent enough start with the try.

kal7

Yes. Even though tmo didn't want it

MadYaker

Waste of time, the officiating in this tournament has been awful

Former Former

Good man Roman.

This is it

Christ.

laugh

What was the point of that?
