Useless chunts, a shambles.

Fair play to Japan and they better bow to the crowd.

Useless ****, they should be sent home.

What a tool

And Ireland have had no concept of the offside line or the practice of supporting your own body weight.

We’ve been getting away with dark arts for years and Gardner has caught us. We’ve had no answer to it and we can’t have any complaints. It was an awful performance

It was an awful performance and I will agree that he did ping us but he didnt ping them and thats the issue.

You can't possibly claim that he applied the rules accurately to both teams today

Disgraceful... well done to Japan but out played by japan is ridiculous. The players taught all they had to do was show up.

Earls saving the LBP could be huge for getting out of the group

Not really. Would be better just to go out at group stage. NZ will embarrass us

statesaver · 28-09-2019 10:15am

Well, that was rather disappointing

Sexton is going to be flogged now I think.

Zero control from Carbery or Carty on display. They're the future after Sexton goes, but right now they aren't going to bring us to a World Cup semi final.

Your nuts if you think a 10 could win that, game lost in the forwards

Mantis Toboggan · 28-09-2019 10:15am

Good job Joe is leaving after the world Cup

pc7 · 28-09-2019 10:15am

That was a tough watch, fair play to Japan. Don’t know what else to say, gutted.

smelly sock · 28-09-2019 10:15am

Does this mean Japan are world number 1 now?

touts · 28-09-2019 10:15am

Poor performance by Ireland but serious questions have to be asked of Agnus Gardener. 80 minutes of absolutely baffling decisions. I suspect he just secured his place in the World Cup Final.

Fan of Netflix · 28-09-2019 10:15am

RTE "this was not an under performance by the Irish team" fcking laughable comment. I guess Japan are New Zealand level now

STB. · 28-09-2019 10:15am

Negatives: Too many

Positives: We didn't concede a bonus point.

Mokuba · 28-09-2019 10:15am

Air of arrogance about this team dating back to the first game of the Six Nations against England - from the media to the fans to the players.

You'd think after that humbling Six Nations that some lessons could have been learned about that sort of thing, but a few friendly wins over a Wales side trying out things and a victory over Scotland and we were back!

Guess not.

What is the story with this?

um7y1h83ge06nx · 28-09-2019 10:16am

The fact that I believe that Carvery did the right thing by playing safe and kicking the ball out really says it all.

is_that_so · 28-09-2019 10:16am

Fully deserved win. Poor decision making and poor attempts to score versus a brilliant Japan game plan. Two incidents stand out, the Best overthrow and the turnover off the base of a ruck sums it up for me. NZ or bust now?

Kermit.de.frog · 28-09-2019 10:16am

Horrible. Nothing more to be said.

shamrock55 · 28-09-2019 10:16am

Ireland were ****e, japan were dogged, ireland havent been playing well for quite a while now, world nó 1 how are ya

Notorious · 28-09-2019 10:16am

Hilarious people here calling for heads on the Irish squad. The ref hardly let a call go our way. The Japanese must've been born offside and the ref never called it.

walshb · 28-09-2019 10:16am

Ah the usual boo boys on now slaying the lads...

Just not our day today...

Bob Harris · 28-09-2019 10:16am

The usual ecstasy after beating an ordinary Scottish side.
We were well beaten today by a team we were going to steam roll.

To top it off we kick the ball into touch after the 80 minutes are up.
Not that it would have made a difference.

An absolute humbling. We can complain about Gardner but we were ****. Played right into the Japanese hands with our poor kicking and bad decision. I'd be so happy for Japan was I not absolutely ****ing gutted.

Japan played the exact way we knew they would. Joe can shove it up his ass at this stage

jammiedodgers · 28-09-2019 10:16am

Poor display from the ref but we should be capable of beating Japan even with all decisions going their way.
Fairly messed up team at the end to be fair, where did McGrath end up playing?

Also there should be some sort of IQ test required to be able to post in these threads, some amount of bellends posting that ruin these threads everytime.

Rockbeast2 · 28-09-2019 10:16am

* Insert image of me with egg all over face here.

Carty's disrespectful kick early on set the tone.

Chuffed for Japan. Will go for a sushi brunch on Capel Street to cheer myself up.

Rossi IRL · 28-09-2019 10:16am

Referee was very poor at awarding us penalties but at the end of the day you don't give away stupid penalties. We made so many errors.

smelly sock · 28-09-2019 10:16am

Typlical Ireland. Always someone else to blame. Just not as good as the hype and bluster suggests.

TheValeyard · 28-09-2019 10:16am

Well, that will do great things to promote rugby in Japan

sonic85 · 28-09-2019 10:17am

Well done Japan. Really absorbing game to watch.

They were so good with the ball in hand - lightning quick. Ireland in comparison were so slow and ponderous. Are we even capable of putting the ball through hands like that?

Christy42 · 28-09-2019 10:17am

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.

Portsalon · 28-09-2019 10:17am

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