Was that not Michael Lynagh?

Ah, could well have been
I was only half paying attention to the TV (never really watch any post match guff) but heard that and just presumed it was him

Sextons missed conversion at the end blew alot of peoples bets.

I had Ireland to score less than 8.5tries.
F*** Tony Buckley.

:lol:

 

[munstermuffin]

All in all it was a job well done.
We got plenty of tries and got the BP so glad we can safely move on and prepare for next Saturday.

Italy have USA on Tuesday which will prove a pleasant distraction for them . And Todd Cleaver will be going hell for leather.

It'll be interesting to see if the Italians rest players going into this match or if they're going to risk the full first team, 4 days before the Ireland match. It's also be quite a bother for them to have to travel from Nelson to Dunedin on Tuesday evening or Wednesday morning...

 

[Jockstap]

Italy are playing their full team, we'll be a lot fresher, or they'll be more battle-hardened. Hmm.

 

[i tickle ur tum]

why is the irish times saying that we have already made it through to the 1/4s when we clearly havent!! we would have if we secured it againts the usa or am i wrong on both counts?

 

[i tickle ur tum]

i did mean to say secured a bonus point vs eddies eagles which would have left it too much for italy to catch us!

 

[monkeypigeon]

They could still have got a bonus point win and given us nothing.

 

[munstermuffin]

Lads simple fact is if we are realistic we should be treating it like a knockout and if we loose then we should be going home. The games with easy teams are over and there is no 2nd chance from here on in

Haha, Sean Fitzpatrick just said (of SOB ):
"He's almost like James Haskell"

Oh ****ing spare me this ...That is painful

 

[JW.]

Oh ****ing spare me this ...That is painful

He's got that spot on! Haha, I couldn't say that with a straight face . Thats a weird opinion he's got there.

 

[King_D'Arcy]

Well Lawrence Dallaglio said SOB was by far the best forward in the Northern Hemisphere

Lawrence Dallaglio's opinion > Sean Fitpatrick's opinion

Lawrence Dallaglio said James Haskell could be the best 8 in the world

 

[j-dawg]

Lawrence Dallaglio said James Haskell could be the best 8 in the world

Lawrence Dallaglio also said he took coke. Maybe both the comments are related...

 

[King_D'Arcy]

Maybe Haskell can fulfill his potential in the Japanese Top League
