I could listen to these guys all day

[@Moamanly]

Very, very enjoyable and mature discussion. Marshall made some excellent points, surprised me! Ireland find themselves in the unusual position of having to carry the weight of expectation and not just hope and blind faith as was perhaps the case in the past. Can't wait for this game!

[@lethalbacon3022]

Guys, can you please put Part 1/2/3 etc in the Titles

[@FennessyMusic]

No they can't because it's Newstalk and that would make sense

[@rusty2606]

Ireland have a good chance to win this weekend. They’ve got a great system, great team and more importantly they believe they can win! It’ll be close and hopefully the All Blacks win :) Here’s to a good game lads 🍺 cheers

[@stockyguru]

Tr00Logic all blacks show up they will win

[@tr00logic4]

​@@stockyguru Sure, but it's 3 games this year now that they haven't shown up. Won 2 lost 1, not bad, but they're not at their best at the moment so I think Ireland stand a good chance 50/50.

[@Mark-xm1yd]

@@LeMerch You Irish are so much more classy and respectful than the English. Here's to a great game mate 🍺

[@DaxSports1]

Could watch a podcast with these guys call it Four Irish and an All black. Please do another one!

[@peadarr]

10 minutes in and so far I don't think Justin Marshall has understood a word anyone has said

[@niallsheehan474]

He's counting his fee

[@shane-irish]

What

[@brendanmcdonnell7483]

My god all the legends, how have we not done better in world cups

[@johnmartin7370]

Fair play to Justin Marshall ... funny guy ... would you slag PO'C if you were sitting inside his elbow area ... I wouldn't :-D

[@karlosdeevs]

:) gold

[@davidcordial8287]

Yeah but ya love to listen to him talk. The day he gives a one word answer, will be a boring day.

[@shane-irish]

Thanks guys off the ball 👍👍👍👍

[@Tehui1974]

I'm a kiwi and I'm sure Jo Schmidt would do a great job as coach for NZ, but as a rugby fan I'd really like for him to stay with the Irish national side.

[@gerhardvtonder]

Alan Quinlan looks like a bit of a personality. All good.

[@michaelmcmillan7458]

Fully expect an Ireland win, the AB's not at their magical best. One hell of a contest but come on our Celtic brothers!

[@gerhardvtonder]

BOD got it, beating the All Blacks you have to score 5-6 tries, in good conditions. The process you have to follow to score them is the challenge. Further you have to make 200 tackles.

[@Camcolito]

You were saying?

[@cpobyrne1]

mind you with the benefit of hindsight....:-)

[@Cam-bv4ev]

they're actually such similar teams.

[@falkhammermuller9342]

9:01 ... i have seldomly laughted so hearty ... that was a real great moment. Watched it 5/6 times now ^^

[@hanoitripper1809]

I love Irish rugby ☘️ ☘️ ☘️ 🍻 🍻

[@samspade5824]

I predict 16-9 to Ireland!

[@darthkage2163]

For the benefit of world rugby I hope schimt stays the Irish coach, yeah the All black Job doesn't pay as much as some others but there is no doubt if the job is offered 99% of coaches wouldn't turn it down if given the chance and being that schimt is a kiwi if he is offered the job there is a huge chance he takes it

[@flightofthefatman]

I can't envision Schmidt going anywhere else as I think it's just to soon and his work isn't finished and it would be all undone as soon as he left. He needs to imprint himself on Irish rugby so that he leaves a long lasting legacy. I would love for him to coach the ABs but Ireland needs him more.

[@rusty2606]

On the Seam O'Brien note, I hate playing against him 😂 He's so effective at the breakdown and his running game is solid as well. I think NZ is lucky he and Murray are out, both have great highlights vs NZ.

[@AK-wc9rl]

As an AB fan, I really hate the fact that these two guys are not playing. I really want them to play the best and beat the best that the opposition have to offer.

[@mickkeating]

Keith Wood should be inthe title of post

[@surgeknight5725]

Can't wait for Ireland and new Zealand to lock horns

[@Cam-bv4ev]

Quinlan's a comedian

[@jimmurphy3287]

James ryan v brodie retallic, no contest.I wonder whats the betting on james ryan being future lions captain.

[@peteryoungpeteryoung965]

Realistically my heart says Ireland but my head says NZ.

[@MySkillie]

Gents, there was really only one team on the field from the word go - that team was not the All Blacks...

[@tennistankRF]

Very funny from Quinny first 5 minutes

[@b2bkiwistyle291]

Please HAKA not Hacker

[@Moamanly]

And yo-ah-nay (Ioane) not "i-oh-nee" BOD.

[@patrickharrison1913]

Im sure the Kiwis pronounce Irish names perfectly lol.....

[@Moamanly]

@@patrickharrison1913 I made a comment so you can see and adopt the correct pronunciation if you choose to. I believe it is good manners to at least try and get a person's name right, even if you can't get your tongue around it. If you don't think it is worth your time well that is your perogative I guess.

26:23 until you've what brian? Lol

[@padraighpearse8829]

Feck sake drico, no wonder ya never beat them!

His heart says Ireland but the head says New Zealand. He could of been a crowd pleaser and said Ireland but Instead chose to give his honest opinion

[@padraighpearse8829]

@@rugbyguy1rugby407 Sometimes you got to let the heart rule the head.

[@rugbyguy1rugby407]

Lol I like that. As a kiwi my heart always tells me that we are gonna beat Australia in cricket but the head tells me otherwise. And as a result my heart has lost me a lot of money at the betting agency's
