[RWC2023] Ireland vs Scotland (07/10/2023)

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

This is the last time I show even the slightest bit of faith in Scotland

 

[IT157]

Berry one of the best defenders for Scotland so far...

 

[Swaylander]

I have TSN+. Covers all the games.

I like the commentators for the most part. Sounds a lot better than ITV.

I had to get that too.

 

[munstermuffin]

Rassie fears nothing. Etzebeth said it to Jim. We will get them next time

We won't see South Africa. France beat them next week

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Mack was blood not HIA

Ah, they said HIA on the commentary/on screen graphic

Edit: all the journos/online commentaries saying HIA

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

I think the tournament has shown that the gaps are:
FRA, IRE, RSA in alphabetical order
NZ

Scotland


Rest of Tier 1 minus Italy plus Fiji
Everyone else

Getting hit by a car/ Rugby Americas sides that didn't qualify






Romania /Namibia

It's not that they are bad. Ireland are just unbelievably clinical. They are making 0 mistakes.

 

[IT157]

Bonus point before half time.

Are Ireland battle hardened for their quarter against New Zealand?

your third eye is closed man

Ireland have literally no weakness. This is 2003 England vibes for me. If they beat the Abs this tournament is won.

Very similar perhaps England had an x factor fullback where Ireland have an exceptional nuts and bolts FB
This is Ireland's best XV to now Ryan is benched for Henderson

 

[g6mcg]

All according to plan, just need to get our 4 tries and the extra 21 points in the second half. Bye bye Rassie.

Ay I'm in denial. Lambast after you win lol.

 

[Bruce_ma gooshvili]

Its a testament to Ireland that they appear likely to nill a Scotland side that has scored 69 points against France in three games. I think the top 2 are quite step above 3 and 4. Then Scotland a clear 5th.

Have Virgin here who seem to be in the know. They said it was blood sub and then a ****le that is why he came off.

I agree with the first 2 tiers, but Scotland beyond a host of others? Lol

At a RWC I have England, Aus, Fiji, Wales all on par.

I like Scotland, but they are so overhyped

Disagree. Top 4 are as close as the top two. There is no gap there. Only small margins. After that it's a different story.

Bonus point before half time.

Did you not see Irelands last game??

 

[Grizwald]

I didn't expect Scotland to win but also didn't see a 26-0 scoreline at HT. I was thinking to myself it's still only 5-0 and Ireland haven't done much but they're just a machine, defensively they've got Scotland's number and so clinical. Scotland should have taken the points when they were on offer.
