1035375 its doesnt surprise me that the rugby world cup thread has alot more posts than the all ireland final threads put together- heartbeat of nation!

Are you mental in the head? there are several threads on the All-Ireland FINAL and not a single thread on the Rugby World Cup Final . There is an entire FORUM about the ALL-Ireland Championships, but only one thread on the Rugby World Cup. Honestly, your stupidity knows no bounds. Aren't you in NZ? What time is it?

---------------------------

ah breff there you are, i havent heard from you for the whole of 12 minutes! great job of ignoring, again you sir are playing a blinder at this ignoring craic.

Just read this on Rte's website.

Feck it, i'm convinced now that something special is going to happen 2moro. I can remember that day back in 91 well. I was a young fella then but my mom and dad ran a pub and i was allowed to watch it down there with a room full of half cut Irish men. Not one between them gave us one ounce of hope, until about 5 minutes from the end when the place erupted like a volcano, only to be doused down 5 minutes after.

2moro is going to be different. I can feel it now. Somehow, we are going to beat the Aussies. We are going to shock the Rugby world. COME ON IRELAND!!!!!!!!!

Imagine on all final weekend, the biggest sporting occasion this weekend will be a rugby match played on the other side of the world. the heartbeat of the nation continues on, its a shame that the all ireland is getting no attention, i know its completely one sided but it should get a bit of media attention.

They both will get equal attention, please stop casting all rugby people in a bad light.
The All Ireland will get plenty of attention from the media and die hard rugby supporters. It is one of the biggest sporting events in this country every year
I dont follow gaelic football, in my opinion rugby is a much better sport but many people and nearly every poster on this forum prefer GAA and to most of them gaelic football is their sport. Stop trying to create a divide where there isnt any
Rugby while increasingly popular is not the most popular or most played sport on this island(as much as id like it to be)

Win the battle in the back row and we have a very good chance,
We are well capable of winning but need all 22 players to give their all as the use of the bench by both sides will be vital in deciding who will win. Ireland by a score hopefully

After watching the All Backs demolish Nippon today the whole WC is a bit of a farce time for some sort of Handicap system or just two Groups of FIVE NZ,ENG,IRE,SCOT,ITA AND AUS,SA,FRA.WALES,AGT With the top two in each group advancing with the bottom two in those groups dropping out with maybe a shield comp with the top two moving up into the next world cup...

That's the fella Ormond.

All i've been reading and seeing all week is poor form this, we're in a slump that. The corner has to be turned sooner or later. Like you said, if the pack can dominate we have a great chance.

I've been his biggest critic in the past but we need Jonny Sexton to have the game of his life and dictate the play the way he sees fit. When he takes responsibility, be it for club or country we do see dividends.....

No, that means the weaker countries will never get the chance to improve as they will only be playing teams of their standard. If rugby wants to develop further it has to stay at 20 teams.
Take hurling for example there has been outcr when the powers at be have tried to make division1 of the hurling league smaller and rightly so. Teams will learn so much more from playing the bigger better teams than only playing the teams at the same standard as them
What handicap system would you use?

ormondbannerman (Clare) - Posts: 13473 - 16/09/2011 15:05:08    1036222

I think the way the world cup is now is rather balanced. Yes, you are going to get one or two lobsided games but look at what Japan did the week before when they tested France to the limit.

The way it is now, the 8 best teams will make it out of the groups and then the winner will come from there.

And also look at Canada's win the other day against Tonga. It shows that certain weaker teams are improving.

tribeinbrum (Galway) - Posts: 4155 - 16/09/2011 15:11:35    1036229

4 top teams...

All the rest filler
