Ireland are definitely a top team and no team can underestimate them. They are capable of beating any top team. Sports means only one team wins…Ireland will get their day
Quarterfinals seem to be our flaw! Or should I say some sort of superstitious jinx! I hope you're right and some day we'll get to the semi-finals 🤣🤣🤣 Sorry, my humour doesn't go down well behind a keyboard!
The #6 in Green is Peter O'Mahony, he's the enforcer. He's the guy who likes to pick fights just to knock the other team off balance, and he's very good at it too. The man has no fear of anyone.
Sexton’s drop goal (team effort 41 phases ) against France in overtime (after the 80) - battling from our 22 to beyond half-way to give us a shot - and one man took it
Going into the 2023 World Cup, Ireland was ranked #1. This was their golden opportunity to win the World Cup other than the host France, but then they got taken out by All Blacks and Springboks took out France.
@glenvilakazi3263 Boks will smash ireland next time. See Lein ster just lose to french club ? They lose all the big ones. Roy b ,CapeTown south africa 🇿🇦
Ireland are a fantastic union team. I think a lot depends on the day for this sport. You dont bring your A game you will get run over. Between the top ten anyways. One thing i do love about the sport is the respect given to the ref. And the toughness of the players during the game which is usually forgotten after the whistle and hands are shaken. Amazing.
@@roybean7166 it went to extra time it was a great game. Toulouse scored with two Leinster players down one was injured and Lowe was off in sin bin. But we’re the smarter team and deserved the cup this year. Leinster were too naive. Trying to get maul tries when they should have been kicking goals also no Ireland didn’t lose. Leinster under Leo Cullen lost.
@ciaranbrk Well it was close. Could have gone either was. But Leinster and Toulouse are loaded with international players. Roy b, CapeTown south africa 🇿🇦
@@roybean7166 We get it South Africans lmao, y'all are in everybody's comments. I would be too if rugby was the only sport my fellow countrymen were good at.
7:08 that’s Caelan Doris 8:06 that’s James Lowe 13:46 that’s Bundee Aki Btw Ireland bet South Africa in the World Cup last year 13-8, great match. You definitely have to check out Hurling and Gaelic Football, Ireland’s 2 most popular sports. They are on a different level of sports
Ireland beat South Africa (Springboks) 13-8 in the 2023 World Cup. South Africa hasn’t beaten Ireland since 2016 when Ireland went on a tour to South Africa
And am sure they won RWC after that right beating a team on pool means shit show me your RWC useless you can win even with players from other countries
What does that have to do with anything? BOKS won the final by beating the team that knocked Ireland out. You make it seem as if the Boks play Ireland every year. The Boks beat England for 10 years and you don't hear any South Africans say anything about that because it doesn't mean fokol if you ain't winning the big tournaments mate. If you want to talk records, Ireland went from 1965 to 2004 without ever beating SA. Love how the Irish fans have become so arrogant without winning jack sh!t. 6 nations doesn't count, it is just 6 countries with 2 of them never really been contenders
Bok fans are the WORST. Look at the comments under this guys comment, he just stated a fact and bok fans lose their minds with a load of waffle. Truth is Boks talk a lot, but still can’t beat Ireland. Enjoy your World Cup losers 😂😂
My team. Appreciate your great reaction. Check Brian O’Driscoll - best centre ever. The outhalf no.10 is like a QB, playmaker, kick, run or pass. The centres are a bit like wide receivers, but because of all passing by hand being backwards, they support the outhalf. Also one team / no swapping teams for offense and defense
The guy who scored first Keith Earls was at one time the youngest man to play for the British and Irish Lions that happens every 4 years the best players from Britain and Ireland are selected to play together in one team. He was towards the end of his career there but that man was one hell of a player. Ireland South Africa and New Zealand have a bit of a rivalry at the moment all three are capable meeting each other with France and England very close behind England is definitely capable too. I would suggest watching the highlights Of Ireland vs South Africa both tests it was carnage blood everywhere bodies on the floor heads getting stitched. It was one of the most physical matches I've ever seen.
The player scoring the try at 1:09 is Keith Earls. From Moyross which is a working class part of Limerick, his father was a tradesmen and played for Young Munster but was never capped for Ireland due to being a tradesman. Keith Earls is one of the first professional rugby players who have made public to having Bipolar disorder which he talked about in his book flight or fight. Additionally he made public to have played rugby including some of his best in agonising pain and nearly retired because of it. Finally got to lift a trophy along with Peter O’ Mahony in 2023 with the URC in Cape Town against the Stormers. Avoids the spotlight and quite humble, owns a coffee roasters in Limerick. Bundee Aki is from New Zealand but his parents are Fijian but moved to Connacht when they were starting to be a serious force early in his career and has settled down and married there.
@@roybean7166 BOKs winning world cups without being able to beat everyone in the tournament. Not real champions. Couldnt beat NZ in 2019, couldn't beat Ireland in 2023. Both the best teams in the world at the time. Boks just winning by one point with two easy draws (other teams taking the best team out of the tournament for them). Pretenders, not true champions.
Best historically? What when it was amateur and played by some college boys? 😂 South Africa win a cup competition but can’t beat Ireland who beat everyone consistently. Stop making excuses.
And yet not Irelands favourite sport by a long shot. Please watch Irish hurling. All those guys have day jobs. 80K people at the finals. Best sport you've never seen. Those guys are tough....😊
If the world cup is your only metric of success kindly go back to bed and set your alarm clock for October 2027. Real fans like to enjoy the competitions and tests in between, its kinda what makes the sport fun.
@@yermanoffthetelly I enjoy the competition too. I just think it's a bit of a joke to consider Ireland the best in the world when they clearly can't hack it at the highest level.
Ireland are great but they don't have it in them to go all the way unfortunately. They have amazing skill and winning consistency but cannot truly take a team to the gutters in the moments that separate the great from the greatest. This is why New Zealand were always going to beat them in the quarters, it was only ever going to be South Africa and New Zealand in the final last year.
I couldn't believe that the irish fans thought it was in the bag before kick off, all week before the game was the same. Disrespect the all blacks at your own peril because when the a.b's were written off by the media i knew then that we would win knowing what that would do to the players, they would of left arms and legs out there to fight for the black jersey everyone was disrespecting, we didn't win the cup but it was one of the best for me, was super proud of the grit and fight they gave for new zealand.
It has to be remembered that rugby is a minority sport in Ireland, 4th behind gaelic football, hurling, and soccer. The population is a bit over 5 million, so the pool is small. The only reason that Ireland has a good rugby side is the way that rugby is managed in Ireland (the same reason why Ireland has a crap soccer team). Saffas and Kiwis live and breathe rugby, it's their majority sport by a fair margin.
Ireland is not the best team in the world, so get your facts right first. They're a good team, but are yet to dominate world rugby as the New Zealand All Blacks and South African Spring Boks have. A couple of good years for Ireland means nothing. It took Ireland over 100 years to beat the All Blacks and to get beaten again by the All Blacks at last years world cup,!!!
In the last 10 years Ireland have a winning record against South Africa New Zealand and Australia... If we're talking about the best team currently Ireland are the best in terms of recent results, If you want to talk about the best rugby team and go back 100 years comparing results than you're living far in the past
Ireland has become a top tier rugby nation in the last 10 years. The top teams , SA, NZ, IRL, FRA and Eng are really close. The competition at this level is intense.
Ireland are definitely a top team and no team can underestimate them. They are capable of beating any top team. Sports means only one team wins…Ireland will get their day
History matters in competition always has, Tyrone had to overcome that hurdle against Kerry.. it’s the same with every sport. (When it matters most)
