That must have felt like a home game - what a brilliant crowd!

Awesome, Ireland found a way to win, like Aus do, they circumvented SA's power and individual skill, as a fucking entity they won. Just wow.

Love the players conducting the crowd.
You have to look at where SA lost it, they had a forward power bench but the other 2 or however many weren't right good when they came on.

SA have got things to work on after that. Too many handling errors and need to be better at retaining possession at the breakdown. Also need a reliable goal kicker. France in the quarters will be tough, but without DuPont France are weaker.
Ireland were superb in the ruck. I’d like to see how many times they turned it over. Aki superb in midfield.
Commentators still trying to big up Ireland v Scotland but on that performance Scotland have no chance.

I think that SA are marginally easier to face in the QF for France than Ireland, but it will still be super tough.

Great game & an excellent win for Ireland. The groups are still a joke though.

What a performance.
But will Ireland’s day come and they win a QF?

TBF there are not enough tier 1 nation's to make sure the pools are close when they're drawn randomly.
Really is only England who have banana skins rather than jeopardy.

You’re ranked 6th in the world and ranked highest in your group. I doubt you’d be as sanguine in Scotland’s position. Draw was too early.
