Rugby World Cup 2023

In retrospect not taking the three points early on was a mistake in a qtr final like this 

[MPH]

If they can keep it below 20 in the first half then NZ can tire in the second half..

[MPH]

Oooh very interesting decision….. is he going to punish NZ for reaching in at the ruck often?

[MPH]

Hopefully it was the hit

[MPH]

So it was for the breakdown.. interesting

Ireland in World Cup QF underperformance shocker. Annoying that the SH sides appear to have the edge where it matters again.

 

Hopefully I'm wrong about that and there's a long way to go here, though.

New Zealand are going so low as to look as if they are off their feet, they putting hands in, they are getting on the wrong side...  

[MPH]

  haha.. sorry guys for the monologuing.. I live in North Carolina these days and I have absolutely no one I can talk to about Rugby over here… Same with most Leicester games..

Talking to yourself is your only chance of a sensible response.

[MPH]

You’re too kind

Great stuff from Ireland. They are attacking and good to watch, not used to that from them. 

[Vacamion]

 

I'm quite enjoying this.

Eh? Ireland have been playing attractive offensive rugby for years.

[MPH]

[MPH]

Have we had the discussion on here why the NZ player is called ‘Leicester’ ?

I thought they were a better version of England, clearly well off with that one. This is a fantastic game. 

[MPH]

Oooooooh

It is.

 

Ireland have been playing glamorous attacking rugby largely derived from the philosophy and innovations of the Leinster pairing of Stuart Lancaster and Leo Cullen. They had the best differential in the Six Nations. Farrell has cemented the defence. Pretty sure that he's destined to replace Borthwick.
