peasy23 Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 I wouldn't write off Samoa. I think we should concentrate on that game first and foremost. Definitely, not only do we need to win but are now under huge pressure to score 4 tries. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honestly united Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 We need 2 bonus points win against Samoa and Japan to even stand a chance of going through. Although Samoa could do us a favour it's unlikely 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunning1874 Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Only thing for it is to get two bonus point wins, try to ramp up the points difference then see where that leaves us going into the Japan game, hoping that neither of them manage a BP v Samoa somehow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Lambies Doos Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Everyone on the radio is saying that result is good for us...Well they know absolutely f**k all. Ireland will get 2 bonus point wins now. Most we can hope for is 15 points, plus Japan are now a bigger threat since they won today. Horrendous analysis by your radio station 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can only get 15 points, Ireland will get 16 points so a 3 way head to head won't come into play. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pozbaird Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 (edited) Earlier in this thread, I commented that I found it puzzling that in the NZ v South Africa game, the All Blacks were wearing their traditional all-black kit, but the Springboks were in their very dark green shirts and socks, with only their white shorts standing out. I asked why rugby union teams cannot have a clearly different shirt from their opponent. I was slagged for this view, being told ‘can’t you see black and green are different’? Just turned the telly on, and here’s Namibia in a bright blue ‘Sevco-esque’ kit, but the Springboks are in a white kit - which should have been worn against the All Blacks. The Namibia blue is far more different from the Springboks dark green than the Kiwi’s black is. I’ve seen this before in rugby union, Scotland v NZ at Murrayfield one time being an absolute clusterfcuk. Just wondered aloud why they can’t sort it. Looks like they have for this Namibia v SA game. I reckon I was absolutely spot-on with my assertion in the NZ v SA game. One of them should have been in a light jersey.
