    This is disappointing

    Can the ref be blamed for Earls knock on?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,027 ✭✭✭✭Clegg


    Sigh.

    Fair play Japan. Caught us in the long grass Nd obvious prepped for this game like we did for Scotland.

    We are playing terrible. Be lucky to leave the group really . Japan have been the better team


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 4,783 ✭✭✭A-Train


    Ireland deserve to lose. A shambles of a performance. Completely clueless


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 12,556 ✭✭✭✭fullstop


    Shambles. World Cup meltdown in full swing again.

    What the **** RTE?
    Perfect time to feck up as well....sums this match up from an Ireland pov


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,066 ✭✭✭Soups123


    We really are just World Cup bottlers doesn’t matter who the players are or who the coach is we just bottle every time.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 366 ✭✭kal7


    We are not good enough.

    Lacked intensity

    Losing BP could be important


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,341 ✭✭✭✭MadYaker


    I can’t wait to watch this Japanese team play a few other tier one nations

    We are poor but the ref is a contributing factor

    Buck stops with Ireland

    We deserve nothing from this. Absolutely gutless attack and no creativity.

    Japan have been fantastic and their line speed has been immense.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,867 ✭✭✭✭BattleCorp


    Not looking like a bonus point even.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,708 ✭✭✭ScissorPaperRock


    This is just awful.

    It's gonna be a long few days till the next game.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,599 ✭✭✭ScrubsfanChris


    NZ quarter final and an early trip home so it is now.

    Shocking performance but it's not a surprise really, this has been coming for a while


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,170 ✭✭✭troyzer


    Eire actually means burden.

    Éire is the Irish word for the 26 counties. It's deliberately being used to exclude fans and players from the north.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,767 ✭✭✭leakyboots


    No backplay from us, one out runners is all we have in their 22. Japanese backplay is stuff we can only dream of


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,677 ✭✭✭munsterlegend


    We are so slow and static. This is definitely the worst performance by an Irish rugby team.

    Can't blame the ref. Ireland are very poor.
    Ireland have been poor.
    The referee has been horrendous....how many things has he let Japan away with?!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,899 ✭✭✭✭BBDBB


    Credit to Japan, increasing the pressure and forcing Ireland to take risks and make errors
    Very disappointing the way we’ve crumbled


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 816 ✭✭✭Macdarack


    I'd say Toner is only happy irish man in the world, and maybe Marmion


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,497 ✭✭✭✭VinLieger


    None of them deserve to wear that jersey today and joe has shown hes simply out of touch with the current game.

    Again the simplest word to use is arrogance

    In hindsight we got the selection wrong here. Too much of an ask for the Pack in this atmosphere
