Lads, I'm sick of analyzing. Tomorrow is Ireland vs NZ in a RWC qrtr final. We have no injuries to our key players, we have beaten these guys before, we are underdogs, the weather is ideal. POM, Best, Kearney, Healy, Earls, Sexton, Murray are all playing in their last ever RWC, they will literally die on that pitch tomorrow to get us over the line. I don't know what numbers will be there but i expect there will be more irish noise in the stadium than NZ. even with all of that we quite likely won't win, shouldn't win, but Jaysus we could win and i'll be losing my **** for 2 hours tomorrow morning either way.
C'mon Ireland!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!The only difference between me and a madman is that I'm not mad.

Very few are giving us a chance going into this game. All the pressure is on the ABs, a loss for them would be apocalyptic.
If Ireland can somehow find another gear or two tomorrow, keep the penalty count low, and do well at set piece, we'll be in with a chance.
Keeping Savea relatively quiet will be key too as he gives them more momentum than any other player.

It’s 12 years since New Zealand lost a rugby game at the World Cup. Bate into them, lads
G’wan Ireland"There are a lot of points that we’ve left behind and this is with a young group. That probably tells you what they’re capable of and that they’re a very good side.
Probably next year or the year after next they will take some stopping"
