[QUOTE="stringer9, post: 120590"] Ya like the Irish Argentina game on Saturday you can't look at it and think that Argentina will have a morale boost from it, they played a 2nd/3rd string Irish team who were inexperinced, little disciple, and prone to errors..to inexperienced and they didn't really gell either as a team, if they'd been playing together longer then maybe they could of beaten Argentina. Like but if we do look at the game, we'd plenty of posestion, good posistion, we did most of the running and attacking but for some reason we opted to fight them upfront in the scrum instead of kicking for touch and we'd terible kicking aswell, which really probally had something to do with Staunton having no practice at all cause they weren't alowed use the stadium the day before the match and he went in cold.
