    So what happened to Erasmus going home to coach SA? Thought it was a done deal?

    Are you going to be getting your excuses in early before we beat you in November?

    Lucky for South Africa that they just about snuck into the second band. They're very, very poor at the moment and that form is set to continue. The only way is down for them.

    Well you've asked and answered your own question there my little lekkerbekkie. When we draw the Boks in our group, and they demolish us in a technical masterclass, our first string players will all retire with crushed hearts, knowing the game has evolved beyond their primitive ability. The remaining brave but naive young lads will fight on and reach the group stages, but ultimately lose to Argentina. And here's the kicker - this will be a whole new Argentina. A team that has rebuilt its game entirely​, following painstaking analysis of the glorious Springbok side of 2015-2016.

    Everyone forgets the worst SA team beat Ireland twice,and got further in the WC.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,767 ✭✭✭✭molloyjh


    No, no. Everyone remembers that perfectly well. But it's not going to stop anyone having a good laugh at your expense. That's what happens when you behave this way.

    Yes, lower tier nations occasionally get wins against the top 4 teams like Ireland. Two great days for South Africa, a few more wins like that and they might make their way out of Tier 2.

    That's why Ireland can't win series in SH and need to poach coaches and players??scotland have beaten Ireland more than Ireland have beaten them??even been beaten by a amateur team twice?and took forever to even win a game against a bad NZ team

    The NZ team on a record 18 wins in a row? Yeah they were ****e alright.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,741 ✭✭✭✭Squidgy Black


    The idea of "poaching" players is hilarious given the recent comments by Strauss and Pienaar saying they'll never go home because they don't feel safe. Your country is quite literally hemmorhaging players due to the economy/environment they have to live in, no more than why I'm sure you came to Ireland.....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,018 ✭✭✭Bridge93


    In fairness it was commendable for the Irish u12's to get any wins down in South Africa. Especially when there was only about 20 of them fit by the end.

    Yet the worst SA team
    In history means nothing.

    So the worst SA team in history (hyperbole), could narrowly defeat a pretty much second string Irish team and that's an indication that you would beat us in the pool stages of the RWC?

    I'd bet my house on beating Ireland in the World Cup.

    Is it in South Africa?

    We're gonna need something more valuable for the bet, if it is.

    Did you not already lose it on Erasmus returning to SA this summer? You may have a gambling problem there.

    Or else Italy could humiliate you again and you won't leave the group? Seems more likely to me

    You have to qualify for the quarter-finals first. That involves beating Italy. Once you've done that we'll see how you get on against us.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,241 ✭✭✭Sanjuro


    My money's on Italy. They're rebuilding. South Africa are in freefall.
