The game turned on that penalty hitting the post, if that goes over there is every possibility that South Africa keep them penned in.
In saying that, New Zealand were far from their best today and have still beaten the second favourites with a short flurry. They are capable of doing that against anybody and that is why they will remain favourites.

Didnt see the game. Could Ireland have any chance against either?

I think that was a rather professional performance. Not at their best, but as PM says, a flurry made the difference. Only two penalties in the second half.
I’d be interested to know if that is SA at the top of their game. They were impressive in the first 20.

Yep, as I said South Africa showed how to frustrate the all blacks in that first 20 minutes, albeit didn't take the advantage.
Two pieces of the attacking brilliance and the all blacks turn it around. Both of them would beat us

First 20 mins for SA, no. 20-30 for the All Blacks, no. After that, yes. But that will be under different terms, especially as NZ and SA will qualify and the prize is either Ireland or Scotland, with the Scots probably a little more enticing. This was a bit of a free hit.

I can see us beating new Zealand, our forwards are bulky enough too compete with them, if sexton reads the game well we could be in with a shout. His name hasn't being thrown about much but I think if ringrose has a good tournament we might be in with a shout against them. South Africa would out muscle us 1-13 and our back 3 against colbe and Co gives me nightmares. Sean obrien alluded to it 5-6 years ago we can't compete with the large physical sides. Give me the AB all day as perverse as that sounds

It's a joke some of the stuff the big nations get away with.
Obvious forward passes ignored but if the likes of Fiji knock on after they get it straight away.

Australia should have had a red card and I felt Pocock should have been penalised for that one from the line-out early in the second half. New Zealand were excellent at pretending not to be offside, as usual. Garces missed loads, but it probably helped the spectacle.

Course we do. Ireland wont fear s.africa and we can beat those on any given day. N.zealand a bit different. Still dont think we will beat them at a world cup but s.africa wont scare our players. We have beaten them regularly over the past few years.

What's the football equivilent of Ireland going into this world cup? Are we a Belgium (decent squad, but no pedigree at doing well in previous tournaments)?

None! It would be infantile to try and compare two completely different sports; leave that to the GAA...

Scotland, 1978. The more excitable elements of our support give us a chance of winning, but we end up failing abjectly. It only happened Scotland the once though, we're heading for effort 9. |

Yeah I felt that momentum changed after that. The Saffa’s deserved to be 6-0 for their dominance in the first 20 mins. NZ produced spells of great rugby but they didn’t play their best. Ireland would need a lot of things to go their way to beat either. A better chance v Saffa’s. Hope they give away a lot of penalties and punish them that way. We won’t out muscle them.
