What the (excuse the language, but i think its called for) **** is going on with Ireland?

Question

I was really really looking forward to see how our lads got on out there, but at the moment its gettin a bit embarsing! The media hypin that "this is the best Irish Team of ALL TIME" and the like! **** me, im not sure if i want to see us play the french now!

Answer 1

Couldn't agree more mate.  I even found myself secretely hoping the Georgians would win - they deserved to.

All I can hope for is that we have had the 2 permitted 'off' games and come alive on Friday.  Cheers.

Answer 2

I think the Sparkle has gone out of them, The ball keeps slipping out of their Hands when Passing it and they seem to be running out of Energy very fast. I think they are going to get Slaughtered by the French and Argentine. Pjb 1979 The Welsh  had a Brilliant Team Years ago now, and they were the main Team as well as the French that Ireland had to worry about in the 1980 ties in the Triple Crown.

Answer 3

its not embarrassing to play a good side and win .it just shows that thing have now progress to the next leave. just like England found out .all the six nations side are having to rethink the way they play and get on with it.

Answer 4

the french will make irish stew of you lol

Answer 5

Don't be so harsh on the Irish Team, I think no-one expected Namibia to fight back the way they did.  They even caught me off guard.

But if Ireland is playing against France, I know which team I'm gonna support :-))

Answer 6

Us NZers have a special place in our hearts for Ireland,Wales and Scotland out of all the rugby playing countries in the world.We cn't stand Aussies or Yaapies.I was disappointed with the Irish in this tournament so far ,they look lethargic and short of a few ideas.but no dought you will come rite when you smash France and we all hope you do,because apart from the Aussies and the Africans there is no other nation we hate more ,and that is the French, they have done somethings to our boys that would in the modern game be banned for life.GO IRELAND AND THE ALLBLACKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...

Answer 7

the selection was right

the tactics and performances have been terrible

ireland are not commiting enough players to the ruck or maul

then have 8 players in the backline waiting for some "magic" to happen

there has been some shocking performances

leamy, d'arcy, hickie have all been sub standard

i feel sorry for peter stringer because it wasnt his fault that the irish forwards have been rubbish

on a brighter note... dempsey and wallace have done their best

for ireland to win against the french the big players need to stand up the likes of o'gara and o'connell

i fear the worst

Answer 8

i would love to see them kick Frances *** so bad. don't count them out just yet. they have risen to the occasion before in the past. and France just because they beat a team with 14 players and 13 at times means they gonna beat the Irish they could play like they did against Argentina and get beaten.

Answer 9

now you know what it's like to be welsh...the whole country thinks wales are world beaters in everything they do, especially rugby, you're called unpatriotic if you're a realist!!!!

Answer 10

Dont be so harsh to the irish. Namibia and specially Georgia are playing really good!. I wouldnt be surprized if Georgia made it to the top 10 in 10 years.

I think the french can beat you, but im sure you will try to prove me wrong, and maybe succeed. Looking forward to watching the Pumas Vs Ireland Match!!

Answer 11

During the Georgia game, they seemed to shout and blame each other in panic..........maybe a bit of inspiration from O'Driscoll instead of accusations may change the way the team play!

Answer 12

Ireland fell apart when they played Georgia, but all credit to Georgia for putting up a good display against a world class side that isn't on form.
