The irish backline has been terrible, the forwards have been abandoned.

This is amazing. Much more likely we (South Africa) play Japan in the quarters. NZ vs Ireland hopefully :lol:

Leitch was immense and changed the game for Japan when he came on. They will beat Scotland.

Ireland and South Africa both wear green and that's not the only thing they have in common.....

So do Ireland just choke at every World Cup then?
Choke is an overestatement, they lost against better or equal teams. It would be more appropriate to use that term for Wales and France.

Wales?

Really unlucky in 2011 semi-final and 2015 beaten in a tight quarter final.

Yes, Wales. They are historically the best NH nation but it's not the case during World Cups.

Don't really see it that way personally. England are the best NH side historically. Wales have only been good again since Gatland came in. Beat Ireland on their way to the 2011 semi-final when Ireland were the favourites before hand.

Actually, I think Ireland will have a better chance against the All Blacks that the Springboks.
