    Assuming we get ten points from last two games we are guaranteed to go through?

    You mean the Josh Van der Flier who was born in Wicklow, who's parents are Irish and hasn't lived outside of Ireland at any stage of his life? :confused:
    Yeah but he sounds foreign.....lol

    The next two games are extremely winnable and we should really be ok to get bonus points

    If Ireland can't win the next two games, they may as well pack in the sport

    Yes, because less than 10% is full
    Do you want my nephew to do some maths for you?

    Yes. But if Japan win two games they top the pool and they don't need TBP wins

    There certainly are a lot of posters on this thread who are delighted that Ireland lost.

    National anthem? You do realise it's not the rep of Ireland rugby team? Your poor attempts at trolling aren't even amusing

    You need help in so many ways.

    2 foreign players on the panel. How many on the soccer team.

    Small men gloat when a better man fails valiantly. You're a very small little man.

    Both of his parents were from Athy in Kildare, he moved back here from NZ when he was 11.

    He's 3/4 Irish 1/4 Kiwi.

    Possibly trying to stem the penalty count and allow them to make errors? There was a lot of spilled ball out there but in the second half it all went Japan’s way (ie backwards)

    Did we give away many penalties on the deck though? I don't remember too many I'll be honest but might need to watch it back

    It’s a possibility yeah but very unlikely now. South Africa was our best chance of a QF win.

    It’s hard to see Scotland turning Japan over especially with them being hosts and having home advantage

    The most sickening thing about today’s result is not losing to Japan, it’s swapping a QF with South Africa for a QF with New Zealand

    In reality, we weren't going to beat either of them regardless.

    Yes, the player whos parents are both Irish and has lived here since he was 11.

    What surprised me most was how poor we were at the breakdown and set pieces.

    We were getting outmuscled a lot of the time at the breakdown which shouldn’t be happening against this opposition.
    Our lineout wasnt great either.

    Samoa could be very difficult if we aren't at full tilt.
    Japan excellent. I think Scotland will beat them.
    Plenty of rugby to at in this group.

    What was the penalty count? Felt like we gave away close to 15 whilst they were in single digits?

    Going by the RWC app...

    Ireland conceded 6.
    Japan conceded 9.

    Surprised by that.

    The ruck was mentioned as a key focus point for refs. Blind to offside but 100% on rucks!

    Scotland love broken play and they could be very well matched against the Japanese
