Unfortunately i think there is more chance of knitting fog than england qualifying now, and if they do that smarmy convict bastards will destroy them in the quarters. At least the cricket team is good, yikes!

I just have to hope that they were the calm before the storm and that the team will play to their full potential.

Agreed with everything Lenny, Ireland are simply poor.
No harm intended here, but on Munsterfans.com I read this comment on a thread regarding Isaac Boss being in the line up and Peter Slinger not…
“Stringer should be on bench ahead of the dirty mullett boss though.”
Now, following Slinger’s last two performances, should he be in France at all?!
I know people will comment saying Boss has been poor, but the times he has played, he hasn’t been on the pitch for long enough to make an impact!!
The whole pack needs to be changed. No exceptions at all.
And Robot O’Gara could do with sitting out a game, has he found touch at all this tournament?
He played well in the 6 Nations, but is poor right now!

It’s tomorrow night. France vs. Ireland.

Heart says Ireland. Head says, well, head says… France :(

I hope the anger that the Irish Players and management now have towards the French media translates on to the pitch - we are in desperate need of some ass kicking celtic passion if we are to stand a chance against France.

They will come out all guns blazing, if we can hold them you will see the French supporters turn against them after about 30 minutes and then it is any mans game.

My hope is that we go out all guns blazing. Containing Chabal (sorry, not sure how to spell his name correctly and can’t be arsed googling) will be key - so much of the French belief lies on that mans shoulders.

Like Colin, by heart says Ireland, my head says France

dissapointing game, had a great night out though so fuck it :-)

it was a good game between France and Ireland.I had never seen the Irish team playing in this world cup yet,and it was obvious that they didn’t play at their best level like they usually do…I hope they will wake up against Argentina,that will arrange France for avoiding a quarter-final against the All Blacks at Cardiff :P.

The Argies have a good scrummaging (la “Bajadita”) .Marcus Horan and John Hayes will surely suffer against Omar Hasan and Rodrigo Roncero.the Irish back row should constanly put pressure on “El mago” (the magician” )Juan Martin Hernandez cos’ when he got the ball on his hand and some free spaces in front him,you can say “C ya after the touchdown line” and his footkicking is far better than O’ Gara’s one…And if any fellow irish player can put in his pocket some sticky tape in order to gag Augustin Pichot’s mouth (always talks to the referree,trash talking towards his opponents…),the most annoying scrumhalf in the world IMHO,that would ne nice :D.

Those who thought that People in France had understimated Ireland before playing that game,can put their fingers in their eyes.Maybe I missed something and except this sports’ Newspaper talking about ROG’s games’ debts,but nobody said that it would be easy to win against the Irish,on the contrary…

Damn. Damn. Damn. I really wanted Tonga to go on…snif.

Ulster lost to Edinburgh last night :(
And Ireland are doomed.

guess we don’t see this game in the same way…Yeah it was true that during the first 30-40 minutes I saw the English team getting annoyed by the Tonga but afterwards their pack moved forward on their mauls and Tongan players who suffured when trying to stop them, began to dominate really on the basics (scrums,lines out,rucks,defence ..) and developped their game on the pitch,by the way,it’s has always been the english characteristic way of playing…But don’t get me wrong,I don’t stand for the English for this RWC and have you ever seen a french dude doing this ? :D

For Scotland-Italy…if the Scots play as they’ve been usually doing since the begining of the rwc,except when they met the All Blacks last week (the B-team played that day).and if the Italian are too much indisciplined and got easily nervous,like most “latin” people,there may be a win for Scotland ;) .I can notice the same thing for the Argies,other “latin” people ,against Ireland this sunday,they are usually considered as “undisciplined” players…let’s hope for them that the ref,Paddy O’ brien( a new zelander with Irish origins???),won’t be too much pernickety…

Well, I felt sorry for the Irish,they tried their best to qualify (but what a poor ROG…),they scored 2 tries to a team which hadn’t seen its touchdown line invaded…The Argies played on their stongest points I noticed on a previous post,and of course Augustin Pichot kept on talking to the ref all the game long :D …So good luck for Scotland,who gonna face them for the next turn…I’m still wondering if the Irish squad was well prepared physically (The Cryptogeny or so,is it good?) .

And what a “connerie” to make play the game for the country who organizes the RWC its quarter out of France :mad: There are 1 quarter planned at Paris-st denis,another at Cardiff and 2 ones at Marseille,why couldn’t france coulnd’t play one there ,at “Le Vélodrome” stadium?…I knew that the french fed,which organized the event,were lead by incompetent cunts but I didn’t think they had reached a ridiculous level.

Oh btw,how nice is this town of Cardiff?

I really feel let down. This Irish squad has so much talent and the potential to perform and at least compete against the big nations. I can’t understand why they have failed so badly - no-one associated with the squad can come back with their head held high. Its time to blood a lot of new players and to stop playing half reserve teams in the Celtic league - the players obviously need regular top wuality games not 6 to 10 european matches and about the same number of meaningful league games each season.

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!
we did it!!!!!!!! Good on “Michou” for having good inspiration and some “french flair” (things that Laporte is being killing) on Jauzion’s try :cool:

“Bring on the All Blacks.”

Just hope you didn’t bet and lose loads of money on them :D

What a great day for rugby (although it pained me to cheer for england)

you pommies can say thank you to the ref.you cheaters!!!!you don’t deserve the final win.hope the Boks or the Argies will smash you up :mad: .”sorry good game” you say ?tu peux te le mettre ou je pense

…Here they go with their legendary arrogance in rugby…let’s begin…hopefully it will only last for a week…
