Good show Alfie! Yip a good way of putting it - which is everyone’s priority match! I think the Ireland NZ match has a lot of intrigue and interest! Going to be a smashing game - hold onto your hats and don’t let the Guinness run dry! 👍🏉
My dad suprised me with some tickets to see England vs Australia at the weekend. I’m expecting my first child in a few weeks and as he put it “it’s your last chance for the next 18 years” 😂 Can’t wait 🏉
Yes, it’s a real pity SA and Ireland aren’t playing a third test during the Autumn Internationals. With home advantage, I think Ireland would of snuck it.. it will have to come down to the URC champs. If it an Irish , or SA team who wins. 😊
I agree, I think Ireland v NZ will be epic. Ireland may have a slight edge. I’m not convinced about D Mac to start, he’s better coming on off the bench. England should go in to their game as clear favourites, I’m a huge fan of Marcus Smith. One wonders how the last few minutes would have played out had he not been subbed. That said, Oz are desperate for a win. They’ve got next years Lions tour in the back of their minds. Need to relearn how to win. No time like the present. As a proud Bok supporter, you can guess where I’m at with the game against Scotland. The lads must focus on the basics, the rest will flow as the game opens up. Enjoy
Ireland is the biggest game (Welsh fan), but Scotland a very close second. I’m sure I’ll get Irish fans shouting me down, but NZ seem to be playing well, cohesive and with some top quality players. Ireland are more than a match, but as a first game I think they’ll lack the same cohesion. Scotland have a real chance, I honestly don’t know in that game, but it’s hard not to pick SA. I feel like it’s rude not to say it’s SA win, but Scotland really do look good so wishing them luck. France/Wales (but close) & England in the others.
ABs been very chilled on tour off field pulling beers kissing babies vibe is good see them arriving for Twickers game they engaged fans most of them English more than England players but intensity on field was there😅😅
@Trajan2401 Why not???Weve won 18 test against Irelands 9!!! With one draw. So why not???? We've won 4 W.Cups to zerrrrro from the Irish.My option we keep on getting better and our DEPTH IS UNBELIEVABLE!!🤗🤗🤗 Thanks my Irish friend 🙏
Hopefully they can get Aumua in some space wider channels most the world don’t know ..and get bit creamy with lineouts and take a few quick ones in backfield should help him out concentrate on what he does well
It’ll be really good to see how England plays against South Africa? They did only lose by 1 point in the World Cup semi-finals. So to me that is the game I’m looking forward to?
I don't agree at all. The Irish were actually afraid of facing the French. The match between the French and the Boks was undoubtedly the best of the quarters. Let me tell you the French were on 🔥 not sure if any other team would've made it past the French quite frankly.
I don’t think Ireland are favourites maybe with the bookies but I mean who the hell trust the bookie for team sports anyway I think they all blacks are the favourite
@@spottersworld3135Why? The record would be 3 all in the last 6 & 5 all in the last 10 games? Also reckon the Irish will win and make it 60% win record in the last 8years
Different ball game this weekend mate. You only barely scraped home at the weekend, have only 6 days to prepare and now face a fresh Irish team at home, not the fatigued team that just dragged themselves out of the pool of death. Give away the stupid penalties that you did against England, make the same handling errors, and you're screwed. Ireland is not going to take the foot off the throat and then wait until the last moment for a hail mary play to win the game. NZ needs to win this because Ireland is not going to lose it like England did. Good luck! Hope you do it but my money will be staying safely in my pocket for this one.
Ireland are always uncomfortable favourites. NZ are always overconfident. I think that this might actually work in our favour this time. I'm seeing a 10 to 15 point difference in Irelands favour at the end. NZ were really not that good against England IMO.
NZ aren't the side they were in the RWC, what the AB's do have in their favour is coming off the back of the RC and two competitive fixtures. 6 day turn around and injuries certainly count against them but if a few passes had stuck agoanst England they'd have walked it despite their poor discipline. If I were Irish my concern would be rustiness, but the Leinster factor does mitigate that more than most. England should be beating this Aus side at home. It is a potential banana skin and for the first time in a while its their backline over their front row where the question marks are. Bit more confident with Skelton not picked, the Aussies cough up more poat contact meters and breaks than most sides so England maybe able to get on top of them physically. Sco v SA is interesting. Scotland lite beat SA lite in the URC final so there's a potential blueprint there, but I guve it 80:20 in the Boks favour.
Two time world champion and back to back champions is not the same thing.. I must not know how to think then @icefarro7957, sorry for making you use your mind on me. I like this tuber actually, you can tell when someone is good and humble, you know.
As a Springbok supporter, I support the All Blacks 110% against Ireland.
Thanks. Irish supporter!
Ah well, we beat SA in their own back yard in the summer. That's all that counts 😊
All of Ireland take your comment as a massive compliment
Pound the English bro!!
Bokks are afraid to play us this time we beat them regular here even scotland will do them aswell😅😅
Good show Alfie!

Cheers Alfie! Great overview of the weekends matches. Can't wait. ABs vs IRL is the match of the weekend.
Good analysis. Ireland, England, South Africa Fiji all win

AB IRL match of weekend
SAF 37 v SCO 12
ENG 24 v AUS 20
IRE 23 v NZL 29

South Africans would love to play against Ireland on this tour!!!!
You’re a devil for punishment 😂😂😂
@davidwalker2402 Pls
Why when youve only won 1 of the last 5 against them 😂.
@Trajan2401 Why not???Weve won 18 test against Irelands 9!!! With one draw. So why not???? We've won 4 W.Cups to zerrrrro from the Irish.My option we keep on getting better and our DEPTH IS UNBELIEVABLE!!🤗🤗🤗 Thanks my Irish friend 🙏
@ always with the ridiculous history , fact Ireland have beaten your best team ever 4 times lost 1, talk in the hear and now .
Hopefully they can get Aumua in some space wider channels most the world don’t know ..and get bit creamy with lineouts and take a few quick ones in backfield should help him out concentrate on what he does well
Sheehan and Furlong are huge losses.. JGP, Hansen and Keenan first game back for a while. The Bench will be crucial in this one.
Ire v NZ. So close. Hopefully Ireland.
I can’t speak for other South Africans but personally England is the team I’d want to lose to the least of all the teams
What did SA do to Scotland in the World Cup? - Don't think Scotland fired a shot.
Can they do better with home advantage?
It’ll be really good to see how England plays against South Africa? They did only lose by 1 point in the World Cup semi-finals. So to me that is the game I’m looking forward to?
I agree. England always front up against us. I’m nervous, but I know the Boks have bigger b@llz than me.
Crack up @ b@llz! 🤣 But yeah I think England will give them a good go. The Boks should overcome it. Fingers and toes crossed. Lol
That World Cup game was weird. England played the conditions to perfection but still couldn't get over the line
I don't agree at all. The Irish were actually afraid of facing the French. The match between the French and the Boks was undoubtedly the best of the quarters. Let me tell you the French were on 🔥 not sure if any other team would've made it past the French quite frankly.
Ireland are favorites, but NZ will win this match.
I don’t think Ireland are favourites maybe with the bookies but I mean who the hell trust the bookie for team sports anyway I think they all blacks are the favourite
They better hope not. If Ireland lose this it will set them back a decade in NZ eyes, back to being 99% chance of NZ win in future games.
@@spottersworld3135Why? The record would be 3 all in the last 6 & 5 all in the last 10 games? Also reckon the Irish will win and make it 60% win record in the last 8years
The pressure is on Ireland to win, they're not the favourite in the northern hemisphere's eyes😂😂😂
@@rosscooper7778I agree and I hope so. I personally think the ramifications of an Irish loss would NZ knowing once again that when it counts NZ win
Slowly building AB
Obviously Italia vs Argentina... Quesada vs Contepomi...battle of N°10 for the pumas at 1999 rwc
We are quite happy flying under the radar it worked brilliantly for us the last time we met 😁 🇳🇿.

Another comment that didn’t age particularly well!
According to betting Ireland quite heavy favorites even here in NZ don’t get that favorite yup heavy nah no way
Not heavy favourites. Predicted win margin is Ireland by 5.
Hardcase NZ beat England 3 times in 4 months Ireland lost to England the last game NZ beat Ireland the last game yet Ireland are heavy favourites 😂.
@@Trajan2401and we beat the boks at home who beat you in the final and rugby championship so does that make us world champions?
NZ aren't the side they were in the RWC, what the AB's do have in their favour is coming off the back of the RC and two competitive fixtures. 6 day turn around and injuries certainly count against them but if a few passes had stuck agoanst England they'd have walked it despite their poor discipline.

Sco v SA is interesting. Scotland lite beat SA lite in the URC final so there's a potential blueprint there, but I guve it 80:20 in the Boks favour.
11:48 have to disagree with you here Alfie. I think glasgow winning rhe URC in aouth africa will have riled up some south africans in
I mean Scotland pushed Ireland in dublinin the six nations this year
Well that was a snooze fest
South africa is four time world champions. Speak correct or dont speak at all
Nope, two-time world champions is accurate. Little bit of thinking would go a long way for you here.
@@icefarrow7959we're not understanding each other here. We won the RWC 4 times.
@@wot4922 But he doesn't like that so he has decided to alter history to suit his narrative. Don't feed the troll, boet.

It's "speak correctly". 😁
