Well, that was a disappointing Irish performance. I can barely remember a game in recent years when they've never looked like scoring a try. It's all over for them, barring a miracle.
We'll win tomorrow afternoon ................. won't we????

timc17 thats very sad to hear and not what we want to be seen for or known as. I would guess that this is frustration spilling out as a consequence of the awful coach we were gifted in 2001. This doesnt excuse any behaviour but last night will be the last straw for many die hard Irish supporters who have spent large fortunes following the Green boys to Argentina and no France. I pray to God that the IRFU take O'Sullivans new 4 year contract (which they gave him just before the world cup) and tear it up.
Gardian - pretty accurate post. We never got going at all. We ha dno leadership, no passion, no committment and no inspitartion. To hear O'Sullivan blame the line-outs and then the ref is typical of him. O'Sullivan is an expert at the Talk talk but cant do the Walk walk. Sadly we are seriously unlikely to take a bonus point win from the Pumas so the lads will giving RyanAir a few more Euro profit sooner than planned.
As for England - God help you all. Wilko should not be sent on. He'll be targeted by the Samoan big men and out for another year. Is Robinson over his hamstring. I hope so for you guys need a leader and you dont have one (not that we do either).
Good luck today.

Two good matches today (I've given up on the 3rd).
I've never been a big fan of Corry, but I have to say that he had a good game today and not just because he scored 2 tries. Pleased for him too, because he always seems to have been given the captaincy when we ended up losing.
Tonga have played above themselves and all credit, but if we grind it out in the forwards and don't kick inaccurately, we'll win comfortably on Friday.

Yes, we should beat Tonga, but it's going to be a nail-biting experience.
Let's hope Wilko plays the bloody ball instead of just kicking forward into the arms of a waiting Tongan.

It does look like southern hemisphere hegemony this year, unless the All Blacks wobble against France (their probable quarter-final opponents). Semi-finalists look like being Argentina, Australia, NZ and SA. England have been pretty dire, some of which is down to succession planning, some to poor selection and most of all, we don't have many world-class players at the moment. If we get to the quarters perhaps we might get a result against Australia as I don't think they are as good as SA or NZ. The Irish have been the big disappointment - they came with a settled team, experienced players, pretty good Six Nations record and I though they might mount a challenge. There are rumours of big disagreements in the camp so perhaps this is a reason for their performance.
