Honestly, I don't think I'm too upset. We could have taken it but this was always gonna be an almost impossible task.

Good hard rugby between two of the worlds best teams

Yeah, me neither. It's not for nothing that Ireland have won 31 out of 33 games at the Aviva. We weren't at our best and still almost snatched a victory.
 
Ireland very strong. For a game so close we need to have a kicker. How can we miss all those kicks?

Bring Morne Steyn back NOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!

Yeah the coaches have said straight up they are trying different combinations, we have injuries and Ireland played their best team.

I think we have the upper hand in the WC.

It's hurting really bad. Now Ireland will rub it in our face non stop and it just pisses me off more.

I've never seen someone take a loss so personally. Week in and week out you sound like you're going to go jump off a bridge after some sporting events. You were frothing at the mouth during the women's RWC too. Gotta relax man. :)

Their first try came after two dodgy decisions, firstly they knocked on the ball but the scrum went to them and then they got a scrum penalty that should have been ours.

Second try came after the ball popped out on out on our side of the mall in a manner that is questionable.

Hey man, I’m also feeling it. Pity no bridges around here. The kicking side of the game was shameful.
 
Let me drink some milk. I'm not feeling okay after this loss. :crying:
 
We need a decent #10. One that knows how to create space like Willie did when he came on. And one that can actually kick.

Willemse back to 15, he is brilliant with bit more time and space.
Kolbe to 14/11. But only if we can get him into even a smidget of space.

De Allende is predictable but he always keeps at least two defenders busy. And he is great on defence himself.

I said earlier this week that I do not rate Kriel. But he had a very good game. Especially on defence he was a monster! I loved the hit on Sexton! No opportunities for him on attack though. Still prefer a fit Am.

As for the forwards. We have most of it sorted there.

PSDT was superb on defence but he is not having the same impact on attack that he had before his injury and Player of the Year performances.

I would like to see Kwagga start and be nippy like the Jack Russell he is from the start. Will keep a few guys busy and guessing.

Next week is going to be even tougher I think!

Win or lose! Go Bokke!
