its so hard not to like ireland, None of their players are consistently singled out as their "star player" except perhaps sexton, but that overexaggerated. they are just incredibly solid. They are hard working, putting in some immense defensive shifts that have somewhat became their hallmark. their style of rugby is diverse and entertaining, they have grown a lot from the Joe Schmit days of demanded excellence and are a team that love to play fast, thrilling rugby. I really hope they go far in the world cup.

Great video again Andrew, tho i think you forgot Ireland's last try against Samoa which was a rob herring maul try. So interesting to see irelands evolution over this world cup cycle the amount of players we went through, seeing billy burns in an ireland jersey brings me back to those desolate times where pundits were calling for Farrell to be sacked crazy how things turned around

Ok, so they missed out on a semi final again. But so be it. Reset and move on. One direction in life, forward. Ireland don't have the powerhouse 'giants' that SA can call on but looking at them play and score, they are a half and half AB+SA combo. They use the forwards to suggest to the opposition "it will always be so", and then they do a bit of backs magic to stretch the ball into endless acres of space. They love the versatility of keeping the opposition confused about where to put their defenders. It seems simple but not many sides have that ability or brain to excel at a forward grunt game + backline incisive strikes with such fluidity. More young players emerging, being educated in this environment, will sharpen the weapon. Ireland has no need to feel morbid post WC.

The flag in your thumbnail is the wrong flag for the Irish rugby team. The flag should be green with the IRFU logo in the centre surrounded by the shields of the four provinces of Ireland (Ulster, Munster, Leinster, and Connacht). The flag you use is the National flag of Ireland (also known as the Republic of Ireland). This green flag is used because there are players from Northern Ireland on the Irish rugby team and some don't associate as representing the Republic of Ireland, hence the reason why Ireland's Call will be sang during the World Cup rather than the Irish National anthem.

It's true of course, but also funny in a non-funny way, as it's the flag of the Republic that identifies more clearly the 'Orange' of Protestant Unionism than the IRFU flag that only identifies Ulster as a Province, ie a Province that isn't exclusively Northern Irish, having three counties, and largest one, in the Republic. The complications of the Irish map, and the Irish mind.
