Ireland players seldom get carded. Councidence?

Six Nations 2024: 'Marseille massacre!' - solid Ireland crush 14-man France in series opener

Once again I notice that the French defense is passive and often disorganized. You don’t know that from Edwards’ defense.

Six Nations 2024: 'Marseille massacre!' - solid Ireland crush 14-man France in series opener

Ireland with another good and solid Performance. As expected from them.
France with a game to forget. Nothing happened for them.

That line out throw yo mentioned was comical
When i mentioned it to my wife and said 《that can i better》 she actually believed me for the first time 😛

The Wrap: There's a reason Boks and All Blacks are at the big boys' table - the rest have to earn their way onto it

Im thinking that the boks left a lot on the pitch in the game against france. And it Shows especially in the first 60min and could/should cost them the game.
Against the ab hopefully there will be another bok Team.

'What you live for': Boks beat England in World Cup EPIC to set up mouth-watering final against All Blacks

This looped sided games doesn’t mean anything for a clash with ireland.
Nice for the Players and supporters and thats it.
An very sad for the Italiens. To go down like this is pathetic.

Mamma Mia! All Blacks almost hit a ton against Italy to make World Cup statement as Smith scores hat-trick

It is pathetic that italy lets itself be dominated like this. Sorry, there’s no other way to put it. A team with the quality of italy might concede 50 but certainly not 96. But after 20min they just give in.
Hopefully they give each other upper cuts.

Georgia can play a role and a win against Wales isn’t impossible.

The Wrap: Group C fast becoming everyone’s favourite - except for the Wallabies as early flight home looms large

It must Happen. Would be great for world rugby. Hopefully they find a way and the money.

The strategy fo go with a young team isn’t all bad but I hope that the young players get the time to develop and get the necessary support in case of bad performances. Otherwise you win nothing in the end, but simply burns player after player.
And in this point I can’t figure out EJ, can he lead and develop players decently in such situations?

The horror five minutes that put Wallabies' World Cup on life support as Eddie's huge 10 call falls flat

And dont forget Georgia. On their dayvthey are capable of an upset

Portugal is one of the most improved Tier 2 sides in europe the last few years.
Lost only to Georgia in the rugby europe championship in 2023.

Who caught Eddie's eye? Swinton, Pietsch star in 'underwhelming' Aus A win over RWC rivals Portugal

The contrast of the two games was stark. England and Wales tried something in attack, and that something didn’t work at all. It was terrible to watch. Fortunately for both teams, both play in group c/d.
Meanwhile in St. Etienne both teams acted with speed, a clear plan and very physical in the contact zone. Could unfortunately only watch the second half, but it was a lot of fun.
What struck me again is that France has an incredible number of forwards. I wonder if they grow on trees.

I would say that new zealand having the mental edge from the start. Cause they having such a good record against aussies team in all competition for many years.

Bledisloe heartbreak: Eddie's Wallabies denied by last minute Mo'unga penalty as ABs seal stunning comeback

The first half was very good from the Wallabies and the All Blacks had problems to find their way into the game. The 20 points were too little for the many chances they had.
And as so often the All Blacks came back and won with the last kick. Bitter pill, I wonder if such defeats are good or bad for self-confidence. Especially that there are several players in the team who have already experienced dozens of such defeats against New Zealand teams.
In summary: Nothing new in the south 😊

Hopefully the All blacks dont firing out of the sheds like the last two weeks, otherwise game over after 20min.

The Wrap: Super Rugby’s semi-final cream rises to the top

Thank you for the summary.
I enjoyed both Red’s and Brumbie’s games. The intensity in both games was high throughout. Really good rugby. The only negative point in the Brumbies game was that my stream stopped working in the 80th minute and I had to update the roar game thread every 5 seconds. Very stressful. 😛
For the druas the task was too big but still a great season and I am already looking forward to fiji’s wc appearance.
And yes im loolling forward to next week.

Not in one department they tahs are even with the blues…until the aussies having a proper npc style competition after SR ends nothing will change (just my 2 cents).

Not a good contest at all. Defence in super rugby is ocacionally and voluntarly. Hard to watch.

'Really stings': Walking wounded Rebels hammered by Barrett's Blues in statement second half shut out

After the turmoil this week i didn’t excpect Wales to play good and getting a win. But they are and were awful. The attack is so static, one up runners and after four phases they kick or getting isolated and losing the ball on the ground. It is miles ahead what for example italy are trying to do. Italy played with so much pace, mixing their attack and really stressed ireland on d. Wales will lose next round i guess.
In my opinion is gatland not up to the task anymore.
