@Paul O’Mahoney: * hasn’t

@Paul O’Mahoney:
Pendergast good but not excellent .

@Sun Rise: Not this nonsense again. zzzzzzzz.

@Sun Rise: shows how little you know ! They mean a lot for the next W.C

@Sun Rise: jog on, soccer boy!

@Jb Walshe: ironically our worst performance in the last 4 world cups was when we achieved a top 4 seeding for the pool draw.

@Sun Rise: obviously not a rugby fan – if you were you’d know that’s tihsllub. Every game is important!!! Whether these particular games affect this ranking or that pool is irrelevant it’s all about a bigger picture…

@Jb Walshe: only rugby fans would understand how correct you are. Tro. lls only look for thumbs up

@brian o’leary: that’s certainly true Brian and we had a bit of bad luck thrown in the mix also,between the draw,some decisions we made,and lacking manpower on the bench. That’s the way it goes I suppose but we live in hope and we will keep supporting our team

@Jb Walshe: yes keep plugging away, plan A now is to achieve a top 6 seeding, hope the seedings work this time, get a little luck with the draw, and most importantly, avoid SA and NZ until after the Quarters, if we get that far.

@Sun Rise: mean nothing to you.

@Lulu: As ai said I was only glancing but I’m happy with my view…..as his dynamic was different, yes a few errors and I’m saying this as a Munster supporter.

@Stiles: when it matters in world cups when it reay matter ireland bottle, all the talk ireland no 1 team ranking, nobody cares

@Sun Rise: 1st time?

@Thomas Meaney: rugby is shite

@Paul O’Mahoney: yes Predergast I think is our best 10…. some bad decisions though…. should maybe have passed a little more than some of the kicks…. but I think he will only keep improving… good win today.

@Sun Rise: Cool story

@Lulu: that complement coming from a munster head, he must have played excellent!!!

@Frank O’Hara: muppet

@Frank O’Hara: put down the creamy pints and take a breath…

@brian o’leary: How did he “caught in possession?” His passing was on the money every time and the speed of his distribution which enabled the ball to get out to the wings was nothing short of phenomenal. The yellow card was a joke. Turning your back and lightly bumping into someone isn’t even a penalty, although the referee had a shocker in terms of being biased against Ireland from the get-go so I wasn’t surprised that she gave him a card. It’s a sign that rugby has gone too soft. In any case, look at how Ireland performed as a team. Prendergast had them absolutely humming. Everything was sticking and all the backline moves were coming off. Crowley offered none of that. I wouldn’t say he’s a Lions bolter just yet. My money is on Finn Russell, Owen Farrell and Fin Smith taking the slots.

@Stiles: Take off your red-tinted glasses and take a breath.

@Frank O’Hara: he was caught at one stage passing to the left, when a try was on, took too long and was tackled, possession turned over?re yellow, contact with the head, upright, no attempt to rap and make a legal tackle, clear sight and no late change of direction or height? Made freddy Stewart look like gerry conlon?
I like Sam BTW, how could you not, but let’s remain clam here .

@Frank O’Hara: jayzus it was Fiji , his granny would have done ok against Fiji ffs

@Frank O’Hara: Very easy to look good at 10 against that opposition. You need to calm down a bit.

@brian o’leary: Come on mate, that yellow card was a terrible decision and you know it. Prendergast turned his back on the Fijian player to see where the ball went from the grubber through and gently bumped against him. The Fijian player then engaged in a series of dramatics like a footballer and Holly Davidson bought it because she doesn’t seem to have a clue about the rules. It wasn’t even a penalty. Do you not agree though from a purely objective observation, the Irish attack was humming in a more sleek and cohesive manner? Do you not think that we actually got a full 80 minute performance off the Irish attack for the first time since the France match in the Six Nations earlier this year?

@Frank O’Hara: I know the rules, contact with the head, upright, no attempt to make a legal tackle, no late change of direction or lowering of height by the tackled player?
It was a good performance, yes, but against a tear 2 nation, I’m going to remain clam

@brian o’leary: clam yes, you’re being very clam.

@Frank O’Hara: that is the most extraordinarily green-tinted description of Prendergast’s card. He turn e to see where the ball was going? He very clearly stepped across to make contact with the Fijian player. It was a stupid gesture, a deliberate piece of foul play. Not dangerous enough to be a red, but a definite yellow

@Frank O’Hara: Calm down there a bit. They are both very good players with more to learn

@Frank O’Hara: He was lucky to see the game out really. Has a while to go yet, Crowley still ahead of the pack for now, rugby is a slower burn than football (assuming thats your prefer sport). Always love the naive ‘general public’ take we get from the one article on the Journal. Never see you on the 42 Frank? Be time fan eh?

@burrito girl: stick to the gaa
