No particular reason tbf. 

 

Probably depends on the technique of the kicker and the acceleration and leap of the defenders you have. 

 

You can only charge from the try line and only when the kicker starts his run up. 

 

So you need to be fast, need the kicker to have a very slow technique and ideally be easily rattled as its often more psychological than not. 

 

Very little point doing it to a confident and relaxed Faz. 

Only ask as I saw Ford being charged down in the previous game England played. 

 

Cheers for explaining

Problem is, even IF we beat NZ (which we wont), we'll get beat by England because...

 

1 - England know how to beat us at our own game

 

2 - teams who beat NZ usually fall at the next hurdle, almost like it takes THAT much out of teams to beat them (France twice, Aussies in 2003)

 

3 - Quite frankly, England are simply better than us

Sorry but that's incredibly negative. 

 

The English media and bookmakers will make England favourites if you play them just because that's what they do, over hype their own. 

 

But if Ireland were to play England at a neutral venue away from the context of this WC, most neutrals would back them. You've got a better team, a better coach and you should be beating them. 

 

You're structured, solid, well organised and everything England struggle with (see their game against us in Feb.)

 

Plus, New Zealand are about fifty times better than England, if you can shut them down and win today (you almost certainly won't but that's another matter) then what on earth would you be doing being afraid of them? You'd have a very legitimate claim to being the best team in the world and the tournament favourites if you knock them out now. 

 

Forget the score you've just seen, Australia are abysmal. Comfortably the worst team in the quarter finals and England have always, always really been pretty ruthless at running up a good score in games they should comfortably win. 

 

I'm not trolling them by the way, just because we're on their forum, this is a good England side. It's just a better Ireland one. Nobody should feel embarrassed or ashamed in losing to that Japan side on home soil, they're a force of nature and everyone has an off day.
