[QUOTE="profitius, post: 422777, member: 41524"] I wouldn't say Ireland choked in the last world cup. The coaches made a balls of the fitness and so they went into the world cup needed 4 to 6 weeks longer to get their fitness levels up. Before the world cup started they played Italy in a friendly and needed a late score to win, at home. Italy had a poor world cup too. Ireland did choke in the 99 world cup losing to Argentina but maybe they underestimated the Pumas then. The AB's are the most likely to choke. All the pressure will be on them which is a massive disadvantage and any loss will see them labeled as chokers. I think the Aussies will also be under massive pressure and it should be interesting to see how their young players go. There'll be plenty of brainfarts thats for sure. No doubt the world cup will bring the best out of some players and the worst other of others. Btw, I don't think Irish fans are talking the team up that much. Some are but in other Irish rugby forums the previous world cups are in the back of peoples mind. Some people don't rate Kidney either and some are talking up Australia. I'm quietly confident they'll perform well for a number of reasons. I think Kidney can get the best out of the team because thats what he is best at. Its also Irelands most talented group of players but theres still weak areas in the team. [/QUOTE]
