What is the story with this?

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

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.

* 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.

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.

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

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

You are, indeed, a moron.

ScrubsfanChris · 28-09-2019 10:17AM

Ireland once again playing down to "lower" opposition.

From what i saw there didn't seem to to be any game plan whatsoever?

Hoppy Jack · 28-09-2019 10:17AM

Get lost Best. You’ve disgraced us

AndyBoBandy · 28-09-2019 10:17AM

Positive to take from this.

A monumental kick up the ar$e for the team/squad to take for the remainder of the tournament

Absolute shower Ireland. No fitness no shape no leadership. Same old story. I'd honestly pack up now. New Zealand will murder us (if we qualify). Haven't scored since the 20th minute.

They were fit but very humid and Japanese plan is to run teams to death. It's the lack of scores from the 20th minute that was the huge problem.

World number 1. Laughable.

Fair play to ya taking great joy in your countrymen losing, off and support Liverpool there in the English league.

People will troll and whatever, but I will never understand an Irish person actively enjoying watching a team of Irish lads lose. That mindset is honestly baffling to me

Easy to believe, Ireland have been **** for the last 12 months.

Can we have an automatic reminder that we have beaten New Zealand in the last 12 months

eigrod · 28-09-2019 10:19AM

That’s a worse result for Scotland than Ireland. We’re pretty much guaranteed to qualify now.

What’s annoying about today is now we have to pick a strong team against Samoa and could end up with more injuries due to how we and they play.
