Ireland Versus New Zealand Build Up Thread

Yeah_Right

Earlier this week I said that I would have nothing nice to say about anything Irish until about 2pm on Saturday. I am now going make a liar of myself because Niall, that was beautiful. Great piece of writing.






Hope you write something just as eloquent after we kick your arse.

cheers, Ha ha ah look i was tongue in cheek about the cheating i have a soft spot for the men in black. The bravery and execution. We all grew up on super rugby. WE loved them

If its to be anybody its better you guys. If we do prevail England will be a white wall and will just encourage more hating and Ewan's when there is a good chance the well is dry. The fires we will have to fight on Saturday will be immense.

Corny perhaps, but i love rugby as a sport the way the All Blacks do it. No class, no bull**** just hard and fast sport.

I know people think im part of the trolls maybe, all i ever want for Ireland is to some day be as good as New Zealand. Impossible, perhaps. Unreasonable, no.

Dont want to ruin this thread, but my god is Ewan just a mega troll or seriously just unwell. He seems so bitter about everything!

I just want Ireland to be better than NZ on the scoreboard tomorrow.

That's the only place that counts.

Niallof9 has been sowing the seeds for this face turn for a while now if you've been paying attention to his character arc.
I wasn't expecting this level of payoff though. I look forward to his heel turn after we win - playing ugly :pac:

true shefwed is going to twist the knife

Nah look i hold my hands up. I often do this as i can't will them to lose just so i don't look like a fool. I love Irish rugby and all of the people who commit to it. No complaints tomorrow whatsoever scouts honor. Japan was the mistake and we're all well past that.

Joe has been our best ever coach and deserves a good finish.

We play the way we play. No amount of criticism from the likes of me will change the fact of what he and we have won.

I stand by a few things i hope for and retract my criticism of Andy Farrell.

aloooof

Saw a bit on the 1014 about NZ and Crusaders using the 12 to come in at first receiver, to allow the 10 and 15 to come in to attack the outside more. I'm worried about Barrett in that scenario, tbh, he's got so much gas.

Bit early to be hitting the whiskey :P

Ha Never too early...well at least tomorrow. can we handle the tension without a sup?

Yeah_Right

I'm going to be so against the Irish tomorrow that I'll be putting bourbon in my morning coffee.

Be interesting to see what the scale of the hiding is.

Within 20 points of New Zealand would be decent enough?

Dont like when some irish players talking or bragging too much before tmw match. It doesn't bode well. It's better to focus on the game itself with 100% rather than bragging etc.


Think pace with offloading by AB could be the key. Also quick counter attacking with some offloads that could also lead to tries as well. Once you stretch Ireland backline then a gap in width will open up would be the key cos Ireland play narrow.

Think AB to win by 20 or more. AB usually clinical and ruthless.Although I could be wrong there. Anyway placed a bet for draw cos good odds.

What Irish players have been bragging? What have they said?

“I’d be surprised if they’re scared of us but they definitely know we can come and play and that we can beat them.

But they’re playing ridiculously well at the moment, they’re just looking sharp. They look like they’ve timed their run nicely. If it is them we’ll have to be at 110% to get stuck into them.”


This is not bragging.

DO you know what 'bragging means'?

If not review the latest offering from our Kiwi friends in the other threads.

Mate. Thats not bragging. Thats just stating a few simple facts.

Bragging/taunting is the rubbish that Conway and Best were saying in that article. Shocking lack of humility. Much like everything said by every member of the Irish squad and their fans this week!!

Must try harder lads/mates or whatever you think you are now.

Tomorrow we do battle as equals. It may be your day and it may be ours.

I will remain humble in victory, you guys will still be attention seeking amadán's - win or lose.
