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.

Little Nemo Sep 2023 10:04pm, 23 Sep 2023 13,893 posts	Quote Pin Little Nemo I think that SA are marginally easier to face in the QF for France than Ireland, but it will still be super tough.

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.
