"28-15 to the All Blacks I can see a credible performance without ever really getting close" Ireland will target mounga and the back 3. I expect to see Ariel bombardment and for the 2 wingers to be turned constantly. I expect a massive Irish effort but don't know will it be good enough. | |||

"Should have brought Devin toner. " Yep, at least then they could have won their own throw ins lol. No team can afford to leave "Genetic" players at home. Ireland with such a small population, its insanity. It was always a great stepping off point for Ireland. But really, you would expect better, better passing, quicker transitions, more optimisim. | |||

"We're not showing a performance of a #1 ranked side That's why we are ranked 4th now Were the irish not ranked 1st going into this world cup" Rugby rankings are quite silly in comparison to other sports, game to game rather than a time period so inactivity can see a team slide down rankings. The reality has always been Ireland are outside the top four reflected by the stat that they never have been to a wc semi. | |||

Now if we play Japan right now they would beat us again so fast fwd post tournament we are 7th,
We have not adapted in 2 years and have been left behind, easy to play against,
Big cull needed rebuild over 3 years and in the meantime everyone needs to tune into the fact that we are shite.

Agree completely with the huge respect for them for what they've done. 2p19 just hasn't been their year unfortunately. If we had played like 2018 then we'd be through to finals. Shame but still respect for the team | |||

"Don’t think we lost a line out .... And stole one too !!!" We lost loads in the japan game and other games. With Toner we could have kicked to touch more, could have taken chances with longer kicks knowing we could put massive pressure on their line out down in their own half, or easily win our own line outs down there. We were told he was left behind to make our mauling and rucks more dynamic, but were they? Its getting a lot like football, leaving Irish born talent at home to come last, when they could have came last with Irish people anyway. | |||

Agreed, but at least in football a paternal blood link is required, nothing in Rugby but residency, a shame to see but a level playing field as same for the others. | |||

"They pick foreigners that live in ireland but won't pick Irish who live and play a aboad. " The integrity of international rugby has been lost years ago with introduction of imported foreign players into national squads. Think it's fundamentally wrong and its all now money driven. Bundee Aki in the Ireland squad is an example as with many others, Japan has large portion in theirs. I read somewhere Ireland brought a few younger ones over from polynesian islands and after 5 years gave them citizenship whhich allowes them to play for Ireland. There are getting fewer and fewer truely national players now. | |||

"We're not showing a performance of a #1 ranked side That's why we are ranked 4th now Were the irish not ranked 1st going into this world cup" By who? I've often wondered about these rankings validity. And on that performance, France demonstrated how these rankings are skewed. Wales in the final with England is my prediction, though Japan might be the big surprise in all this. They have it in them at all levels. | |||

Ireland were never near number one going into this world cup, more like 5th or 6th would have been accurate. Not a bad shout for the final. I think New Zealand V Wales final though France are playing well this morning | |||

But NewZealand put 3 Barretts on the field at the same time, thats an Irish name. Thats the type of players we can find in Ireland. I dont really care where someones ancestors are from, but they should be born here and work their way up through the Irish system to get on the Irish team. If we are still not performing then tweak how we develop youth, dont hand out passports to still come last. Try get in some from non private schools, set up some teams not assosiated with private schools to widen the pool of people who can play. Anything other than just trying to import people in the hope they perform for us in 10 years | |||

Hoping they get their injured fully fit and are able to return to playing their normal game next. It'll be a big match with heavy scrums and potential for both to pick up injuries going into the final. Loved the way Japan have played. Above all their attitude towards the game, players and decisions have set them apart from most too. Kudos to them indeed. | |||
