Sorry, I probably went over the top. The media ne people around me get at me by bigging up Ireland and playing down NZ. So, I went over the top when they won yesterday.

Fair enough. Good of you to concede a point like that. Unusual enough to see that on redcafe and a reflects well on you.
The media pre-match opinions were interesting. Most non Irish pundits had Ireland as favourites. Especially kiwis. But the Irish pundits were mostly as nervous and negative as the fans!
Aye, even on Irish media panels it was the non Irish like Matt Williams, banging the Irish drum.
Missed the whole match for a family semi-emergencyHave to catch up with it later. Completely fecked now, but glad we won and I get to collapse on the sofa with a pizza and watch the next game
Hope all is well mate
Yeah, just kids. Wouldn’t mind, but they’re actually adult kids with their own kids. It never ends
The rugby and a pizza with zero distractions sounds a decent end to it though. .
Let's go Bokke!!!
Come on France! Not a fan of the SA style of rugby.
Bar two or three idiots, that was a very good minute of silence.
Yes. I’ve eaten too much to move already
Think France have the edge tonight as they can match the Boks physically and have that extra attacking flair.
Incredible that Dupont is starting. It will be interesting to see how he gets on. If he goes off, I think the edge could swing back to the Boks.

Can't wait for this. Another heavyweight battle
the french look nervous. not a convincing anthem performance. going to take a lot to turn it around from there.
Another cracker hopefully
To be fair, half of them yelled "Ferme ta gueule" to whoever screamed something first.
south africa way more conviction in their anthem, even though it goes on too long, and is shit.
Looking forward to this, but it's also making me sad again.
The crapfest earlier didn't make me as sad as this

Good ref, too!
Oh, so close! That was a nice bit of creativity by France in the build-up.
What a fecking start!!!
Great start for France!
We're back in the premier league again.
What a start.
What a start.
What a start
This is absolutely spectacular
ALLEZ LE BLUES
Ludicrous pace to start at.
My god, that was amazing from France.
Wow
And may it continue. I sure can really enjoy more fast and furious rugby like that.
Holy shit... this is 99 vs NZ levels of special from France right now.
feck me we fecked already. Irish supporters, you would’ve lost to France anyway
France with a blistering start.
I don't see us winning this unfortunately. The home crowd so loud too.
