Incredible win. The only time i support Ireland is Vs that mob. You were fantastic and it was refreshing to see a ref call them on not releasing all game. Sexton swan song 2023 winning a WC?

Might be still a bit of a long shot. Unfortunately it seems the top 4 ranked sides in the world are all on the same side of the draw. I’m still wary of South Africa, they’re the one side I wouldn’t fancy us against.

I mentioned when SANZAR decided to consolidate Super Rugby to only the Pacific countries (excluding SA) that it may well come back to bite NZ and Australia in the long run.
Reckon the Northern hemisphere teams, and SA, will benefit from the increased exposure to North-South styles of rugby through the URC and associated upcoming ''super'' tournaments. Expecting these national teams to excel at the WC next year.
Kudos to Ireland, beating NZ at home is not easy!
The main thing SA's got right now is immense depth, I think we have two packs of forwards now which can challenge the very best. Light in some areas in the backline though, for sure.

Really looking forward to Ireland vs the Boks tonight, although the two other big matches today might be cracking games as well!

We've gotta beat the Kiwi's at some point in my lifetime, here's hoping it's today 😂 Ther other games should be good. Day of rugby will do nicely.

Got the kick off time mixed up but caught the last 10 mins. Tight game.

Never easy playing Ireland at home, a few of the Boks had minor mares but still - good time to be testing combinations and depth, WC next year will be when it matters.
Good, tough game!

Great Calcutta Cup game this evening ,(20-19 atm) try of the century (so far) by Van Der Merwe, 2 conversions missed either side of the posts by Farrell may cost England.A couple of important missed tackles by England too! Don’t know about anyone else who watches, but the way the head coaches almost sit on the same level as the journo’s always looks odd ?

Going to be a long tournament I fear Yeah I wasn't gonna comment in here myself 😂. We're in deep shit at the moment. Our governing body is too interested in banning songs than addressing the issues the Welsh regions have and its starting affect the national side.
