More dirty play from Ireland. Just gently caress off out of the World Cup, you dirty cunts.

Totally unsurprising, this is the standard Ireland have set over the last year. Clueless going forward, passive and disorganised in defence, shocking skill levels. Cheers for everything Joe but gently caress me is it time for a re-think.

All Blacks looking good or Ireland just looking particularly poo poo in comparison?

Alright, half time. But Ireland have come back from much worse, so I'm not worried.

Pretty soft penalty considering the general shithousery that goes on in rucks but that sums up Ireland this game perfectly.

Ireland were found out by England earlier this year, but don't seem to have made any adjustments following that loss.

I don't think that the ABs have even got into their higher gears yet. They've not needed to.

Ireland's plan has been to work their way through the group and then bring out the intricate play in the quarters (and then progress.) Of course it never occurred to them that using the backline might have been something that needed practice in real match conditions before the big game. There's more inventiveness being shown, even with dropped balls, than since before the Six Nations. But you can't suddenly switch on a previously missing part of your game no matter how much time you train (unless you're Japan.)

Japan have been together since basically the Top League ended back in February. The one time Ireland tried something different in a real match situation, Japan beat them.

Vagabundo posted:Japan have been together since basically the Top League ended back in February. I'm not sure Ireland tried anything different in the Japan game, and my point was Japan, through their training for most of the year, could come out playing an entirely new gameplan and to an ability they hadn't done before. Ireland's first time trying anything intricate with their backs came in this game. They should have been playing in the same manner for all their games, possibly since the Six Nations, without showing their full plan, as they seemingly tried to hide their intent to keep video analysis out of it..

They're still doing cheeky little pop-passes and casual offloads. Ireland have completely failed to make them tighten up the game, which is what they're meant to be good at.
