Why the sarcasm? Next you'll be telling me that the England coach is always the best, most experienced, coach in the country.... Davies I can imagine does have a problem with it as it's probably the opposite way a Scarlets man would coach but how's that working out for him? |

I just think it's a bit odd that they make the draw so far in advance and use those seedings. There are 4 groups, so you'd think you would have any 2 of the top 8 teams in one group... not 3 of the top 6 in a single group.
New Zealand's group and South Africa's group are the opposite. That said from a neutral perspective it increases the chances of a smaller nation (from a rugby perspective) getting into the Knockout stage. |

![]() A try for NZ now....it would be criminal if the Irish threw away such a big lead at home and lost the match after playing so unbelievably well so far. |

O'Brien and Heaslip awesome. D'Arcy looking like the player of old.
Best half of rugby in a long time. |

They've done enough to win this match (outscored NZ by three tries to two)......it would be very cruel for them to lose it.
