Ireland should fight fire with fire and do at least a 6 / 2 split seems like this is saying boks will play not to loose, not go for the win doing everyone to win by playing boring set piece rugby

Gees quick to right off NZ Remember SA lost a pool game in 2019 and then won it! Mind you they had an easy QF And SF to make it Of Nz get to play a rugby game on their terms not many will hold it against them They dominated the rugby champs easily defeating SA If they have their full squad...

Yes that’s not a fitness issue though it unlucky with injuries and injuries over training Not that they can’t get around the park and worse then any other team or we can’t play for 80 min

We have some tops rugby players Tupou would be the most dominant TH in the world when fit Skeleton a dominant 2nd rower Hooper and Kerevi were both in running for IRB player of the year in last 2 years Hooper was best 7 in the world in 2021 Kerevi best 12 - and would be more dominant now if...

Well it’s Better then 14% with Eddie A game plan is the biggest part, then players after that 2nd but it does not matter what players you have. If the teams doesn’t sync they will underperform

I agree with the forwards - and now with tupou, Skelton out along with aaa / pone etc we are loosing that edge The back line is a tough one Many outstanding individuals however not working together Kerevi is going okay, I think it’s more no Quade and our game plan last few seasons revolving...

Exactly I have never seen Skelton, tupou, pone , uelese and AAA look so trim and fit Fitness is not the issue a team gameplan and basic rugby nous are what we are lacking Eddie said teams don’t score after 3 tries hence the kicking - which is very hard to watch

But the French are still winning so they can get away with it

Unfortunately the coach and the game plan goes a lot further to winning a game then just having brilliant athletes / that’s the beauty of rugby it’s quick, physical however game plan is massive 1. We picked jones to come back 2. Jones made the massive Calls to drops plenty of senior players with...

Couldn’t be more right Don’t replace experience unless the player is better Not in an RWC year Said as the squad was selected wtf? i mentioned pre RWC gorden will become the next whipping boy if this doesn’t work and no level head back up to guide him! Then after last week his value had dropped...

Eddie is delusional I loved how sbw took a sneaky dig at Eddie and gorden selection with no Quade - Box kicking again inside the opposition 30 we had several kicks that went dead and waisted possesion - white is to slow - I said several times before RWC we needed 3 guys who could play 10 and...

Well well well Where are all the Eddie lovers now? 1 from 7 with the only win v Georgia The wallabies have gone backwards Experience does mean something maybe Eddie should have thought about it before he dropped half the team and all the older guys? if Eddie doesn’t make it last the pool...

I don’t think re are disregarding gorden yet but with jones having to weaken 15 with Donaldson as Gorden’s kicking isn’t good enough how long does he last at 15 before jones decides to put Donaldson at 10 and kellaway back to 15? I rate gorden over Donaldson however with gorden not kicking I...

Sounds like slipper and pone should be available Wonder which one will start at TH Tupou looks likely to miss Fiji, is so let’s hope only 1 game

I rate gorden over Donaldson as well but he is not kicking goals. And has missed kicks to touch, and missed tackles so just offering an opinion I don’t think it will happen yet wither but jones had swung some pretty drastic changes after most games so would not be surprised to see anything atm

I think Tom Wright still had a chance for winger and could have been there If kellaway not injured early on Wright would have played wing and maybe played well And If Beale played he could have been too

It just feels if he needs to bring kellaway back to 15, he has lost faith in gorden kicking so could see this happen - not that it will but may be a chance with Donaldson at 10 Donaldson isn’t a great defender however gorden has been missing tackles each game so far, and not kicking goals and...

Does anything think Donaldson may be getting a shot at 10 over gorden this week with the other on the bench? He was only picked to assist kicking so why weaken 15 when gorden is not doing the job and move Donaldson to 10?

Tamati Williams may have a niggle? Otherwise should have had a run Blackadder not getting a run this week

Well they got the win and had a few good points but a few bad ones the box kicking needs to stop in the opposition half. We are now playing 2-3 phase then kicking / you need the ball to run eddie, will this work v Fiji back 3 or any top nation? Was as much kicking as afl. I don’t mind the...
