Wow you lot are going to feel like such idiots WHEN you lose on Saturday.[/b]

To be fair, you're probably right. South Africa have always beaten Ireland......apart from their last two visits to Dublin when they were humiliated.

Yeah I was wrong, 30 is just about stretching it. 20-25 points is more accurate.

Lads, there is no point playing the game now, SA might as well head off home

in Kidney we Trust.

The above is utter madness.


Great news though. The odds are at least 50/50 now.

Irish fans, if you fancy being pessimistic think

A soft 6 nation

drawing with a poor aus team

2/3 of our front row have played very little rugby and the other is on his 2nd cap
DOC is in average form
POC not at his best
breakdown a real area of concern, will sexton get any decent ball?

Against the world champs who've won everythin this year.

 

[lynam1104]

not true the Auisses beat them in the tri nations

Humiliated? Granted the last time we played, we were beaten good and proper! But before that we were f*cked over by a ref who told John Smit to talk to his team, then allowed a ROG quick tap which resulted in a try. We have never been 'humiliated' against the Irish. Even France, who were so dominant it's not even funny, only managed to beat us by 7 points.

There is everything to play for in this game, and it's just going to come down to whoever is more determined. Ireland want this game so badly. Revenge for the Lions, Team of the year, blah blah blah.

We just need to stick to what we know best, and play to our strengths.

Also, underestimating a Springbok team is one of the stupidest things you could ever do...

 

[lynam1104]

it's not the players who are underesinmating you it's just us

 

[MunsterMan]

Even with Sexton at 10, I'd still be very worried if you field BJ Botha at tighthead on Saturday. A decent tighthead prop is all that Irish team needs consistently beat 3N opposition IMO.

Maybe poaching the Aussies Argentinian scrum coach wouldn't be a bad idea!

Did you watch the Wales vs Argentina game last weekend. if not, take a look at how Fernandez Lobbe reacted to his Jones try. A gentleman. None of this whinging at the ref 5 years later!. You lot switched off, you lost.

Uh, you trying to prove a point?

Oh god it happened...

 

[Incredible Schalk]

In 2004 there was nothing between the sides, i seem to remember the Irish try was a bit dodgy, last time though Ireland won easily although the Springboks included the likes of Bevin Fortuin and Hilton Lobberts. With Habana playing 13..

 

[feicarsinn]

Not to mention De Villiers, Steyn, Januarie, Smit, Van Der Linde, Russow, Smith, Spies, Botha, Pienaar and Olivier.

You sycophantic oaf.

Heh, a lot of pointless chest beating going on here. Ireland weren't setting the world alight with their recent performances. The draw against Australia is not much to go by and The Boks have been out of sorts on this tour (including the midweek woes). So neither side can lay claim to handing out some sort of thrashing. If we get our scrum right, i.e. Smit back at Hooker and BJ on tighthead, we'll be set to lay a foundation for our loosies and backs. Ireland have to front up like the French did, and if they can manage to do that, dominate in the collisions, and get quick ball to the backs, they'll have a great chance of winning. I'm calling this one 50/50 purely based on current form, forget about 6 Nations, Tri Nations and more importantly BIL Tour (can't we all just get past it and move on?)... it's all to play for and may the best team win, of course I'll go with The Springboks .
