Ireland were crap. To beat the Itie's you need to beat them up pyhsiclly in the 1st 20/30 minutes. Match and better them physically, thats what we have done in the last few years, but not today.
We were crap Hoping its a wake up call for next Sunday, cause if we turn up with that game against any big team we are going to be humiliated.

Need that full force off the fronts, (always a plan there)
Geriatrix2: So, the woeful Wallabies have finally extracted the digit and decided to play some rugby. Bloody marvellous! Hard to believe it's the (almost) same side that was flogged at Eden Park only a few weeks ago. Can't wait to see if they take the new mind set into the finals!
Getting to the business end of the tournament now with some gig games this week to decide the qtr final line up.
Pool A The Aussies take on Wales on Sat to decide 1st and 2nd in the group. The winners/runners up likely to face S Africa or Scotland in the qtrs.
Pool B S Africa are playing the USA tomorow and should win to top the group. Scotland take on Samoa on Sat and again, should win to finish second. If not Japan could take 2nd if the beat the USA on Sunday. NOTE: Japan could be the 1st team not to qualify after possibly winning 3 of their 4 matches. The Aussies/Scotland await in the qtr's.
Pool C Pretty straight forward. All Blacks should top group with Argentina finishing second. France or Ireland await in the quarters.
Pool D. France v Ireland on Sunday, the big one Both teams will want to win as they would prefer Argentina in the qtrs, losers face the All Blacks. After Ireland's performance v Italy France should be favourites, but Ireland can't play that badly again, or can they.
