    I'm not doing a write up, as the only one I ever did was for the NZ game last November.

    I might do the QF one if we get there. ;)

    A big underperforming huff and puff game from Ireland. May sneak a bonus point. Joe will blame pitch/weather/humidity etc.

    How many years was Ferris retired when Heaslip got nominated for World player of year

    I would say a comparison of medals would be a quick discussion

    Bonus point win with no injuries or suspensions is the ideal result here I think, then again that's the ideal result in every game

    Sure he had an answer for everything as a manager as well, it's just it was often the wrong answer

    Just when my sky go is up for using it abroad!! Looks like it’s to dodgy streams now.

    If they can’t win this game with a bonus point we don’t deserve a quarter final anyway. Players really need to show up today with a big intensity and get the job done

    Ferris at his best was an absolute beast at 6. Best ball-carrier ever along with SO'B.

    He took on too much and that got him where he is

    Eddie can be a pain, but I always liked his little sayings: "all our ducks in a row", "running around with our hair on fire" etc.

    Expecting a good start, relatively comfortable by half time - 2 or 3 tries in the bag - then fatigue, nervousness, wholesale substitutions, a huge Samoan comeback ending in a very tight 3 point win (for us) without the BP.

    Ireland will win this comfortably enough I think. Anything less than a 15-20 point margin will be disappointing.

    The hack of the pitch. Jaaaysus
