Irish have nothing but respect for ABs yet NZ media always manage to stir the pot , I'm so glad Farrell and Sexton didn't react to any of the remarks and were simply respectful to their opposition. Please let this game go without contention or controversy, just s great test match between 2 great sides and common Ireland 🎉

Respect is what you mostly get from this sport. These guys are gentleman and NOT the lair that Rugby League players go on with 🤭😉🇳🇿

Don’t underestimate how much the O’Mahony put down of Cane will spur an All Black response… even if they wont mention it publicly.

Regards the photographer, the photographer is a freelance photographer who also takes photos of the Ireland Team, he was attending the public session for his 'day job', what benefit is there in photographing players at training when there is hundreds of hours of video footage free to access. Just a wind up from NZ media.

[@新型コロナは空事です]

I don't mind Foster as a person. I think he is pretty funny. He has had it tough, I won't dispise him if his team loses. I will thank him none the less, he did the best job that he could do, and that is all you can really ask for. I have no doubt he sunk his heart and soul into the job. It was Steve Hasson who oversaw the ABs first ever loss to Ireland. I Think the rot had begun to set in back then. I was calling for Hasson to get the sack back then, too. Even though I have been one of the biggest critics of Fosters, all through his four year tenure, I don't the hate the man. I think most people could get on quite well with him. I like him, just obviously his coaching hasn't always been the best. I cannot understand why he has Christie in the world cup squad, let alone in the team for tonight's game. But, anyway it is his team, I actually hope he wins the thing, just to prove critics like me wrong.

With all due respect our lads do sound alot more confident but not over confident, Haven't got that impression with the All Blacks?? No matter what we've always had massive respect for the All Blacks.. Been able to use the same team is a big bonus and the Irish side are probably one of the fittest sides there.. Can't wait for the game think it could be won or lost in the first 20 or 30mins? And the players we can call on off the bench are just as capable as the players who play from the start.. If this Irish team don't do it this year we never will Comon the boyz in green 👍☘☘☘
