"Our loss" A team full of Foreign imports, a foreign management and too ashamed to play their own national anthem This team doesn't represent me or Ireland. It is a disgrace.

You are an idiot. (I'll take the card mod)

Japan are largely a team of hired guns from Tonga, New Zealand and South Africa.

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.

At least the soccer team have to have a dlood relative, at least at grand parentage level.

In Rugby have a guinnes and you qualify.

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

Can remember POM and Murray getting pinged whilst competing. VDF getting trapped and pinged too on the deck. There was a few offsides too. Murray and Stander. And the accidental one where Farrell hit into Stander. One scrum penalty too. Felt like we got on Gardner’s wrong side.

I think what we can finally put to bed is the love in for Carty....

He had a good 20 mins and then it was shocking the rest of game....

We need sexton and Carbery back and fit as numbe 1 & 2 ASAP

Will you be quiet. The only good things in the game came from him and ringrose. Blaming Carty for today is nonsense. Line out malfunctioned, pack was well beaten. 29% possession in second half, what mistakes did Carty make other than restart at end of first half, if you’re gonna be critical be specific

Ireland conceded 6.
Japan conceded 9.

Surprised by that.

Not sure about that. Can think of 7 off the top of my head without taking into account advantages etc

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

Don't think so. Who really wants their own country to lose?? I think the problem is that some people get sick of the media and fans who know little about rugby overrating them and building them up for a hard fall. No different to the way the English hype their soccer team.

Rucks were a mess, looked like every breakdown had a clear out parallel to the the advantage line

woohoo!!! · 28-09-2019 10:59AM

Ireland are not as bad as the hype suggests after todays defeat and not as good as the hype suggested after the Scotland win. In any event it doesn't matter, a very tough quarter final prospect regardless and today doesn't change that.

ESPN Scrum saying that's the other way around.

Yup.....agree with you.

Richard Hillman · 28-09-2019 11:00AM

Still have a good chance at topping the group. We would have had Scotland down for beating Japan before today. OK things have changed but not inconceivable. Would love to see a scenario where both us and Japan get through though.

And if we play NZ then we play NZ. You're there to win the tournament, to be the best, to beat everybody. Champions don't avoid people. And we don't have that 100 year hoodoo. It may put the ****s up NZ.

We have beaten countries who have a much larger number of adult players than us or for whom rugby is the main sport (It's No. 4 here.)

How's the League of Ireland doing?

Not sure its behind Hurling. Rugby's far more popular in Ulster than Hurling is.

KaneToad · 28-09-2019 11:00AM

Stockdale has yet to show any form in this tournament. POM has been poor in both games. Other than that the other Irish players aren't playing outrageously below par. I think other teams are figuring out the best way to stifle our game plans.

So if you've 6 players 7/8ths English that makes you more Irish than a rugby team playing 2 non nationals out of 31?

I support all Irish teams but an awful lot have a serious chip on their shoulder re. the rugby team.

Devin Toner will be laughing tonight. Joe Schmuck and his foreign XI disgraced themselves. If I he wasnt so arrogant he would resign.

Anyway Japan is closer to home for Schmuck and co. They should head back to their real countries

mod- banned.

How do you figure we're favourites to top the pool? That means Scotland need to beat Japan which looks unlikely.

He wasn’t....it was plain to see one ach occasion

On the first penalty without the camera even zooming in you could see him with his elbows and arms on the ground....

He done the same a few times....

He was the only back row who got a good rest and should have been our best back row and was worst.....

Carra87 · 28-09-2019 11:02AM

Why is Kleyn in the squad?? Don’t care about the ‘foreigners’ trolls but if you’re not going to play him why bring him? Would Toner have made a difference with 15/20 minutes to go?

So you want Ireland to win, but are happy when they lose because it upsets media and bandwagon fans.

Again, a baffling mentality but it takes all sorts.

Psst...it's XV in rugby...

Larbre34 · 28-09-2019 11:02AM

Scotland only have 4 days between their Russia game and their game against Japan. I don't care how poor the opposition, trying to do that in those conditions is a tall order. This pool has been constructed to give Japan maximum advantage and I expect them to take it.

Same craic in another high profile sporting event a couple of weeks ago.

On the positive side, South Africa finished 3rd in 2015 after losing to Japan in group stages

Shefwedfan · 28-09-2019 11:03AM

Has anyone mentioned 2007 yet?
