France v SA final would be immense. Assuming we don’t make it

**** sake. Best Scotland squad in generations and we’ve got to either beat them or you lot. That group is going to be a blood bath, whomever gets through with least injuries going to be crucial.

Whilst rest of tier one get soft soaping on way to knockouts.

The draw has been as kind as possible given we have a full week between them and ye for some recovery. I think our lack of physicality will ultimately cost us and I fear a flop with ye in the pool….. it’s not beyond the realms of possibility that ye get through

France hammered Ireland in the u-20 WC final, their future is in good hands!

[Buzzo]

Big half from the All Blacks.

People writing them off too soon - it’s ****ing NZ…… they’ll be right in the mix in Sept. SA making v bad mistakes though

[Buzzo]

Yep. They know how to manage a World Cup cycle.

Second half is going to be explosive don’t think SA saw that coming. Discipline is so crucial in these big moments. Great spot from TMO on that neck roll at the end of the first half.

SA showing their power off the bench but NZ look like they’ll see it home…… try Jordan

Haha, dream on Eddie.

We've got a game tomorrow, second string v Italy. Will get a look at Ben Healy at 10.

He’ll come back and haunt us in the WC - I am hating all the podcasts I’m listening to talking either FR or NZ in the quarters and Scotland waiting in the long grass

[Buzzo]

Haha, yeah, again, I am not seeing it.

Going to a WC pretty much resigned to going home in the group stages is strange. Over confidence would be the one thing. but again, that is not a typically Irish trait.

[Zapater]

Great start to this one.

[Buzzo]

Ooft.

The Wallabies rope-a-doping for the WC then?

[Buzzo]

Just you and George Gregan, Nev.

Agree we can put 30 points on any team on any day. It's just making that day be the day that matters.
