We had to wait a day for 2 and a half minutes 😂
It's sad that you had to wait, very sad
@@Baz502hug time.
Humble pie is served cold😂😂
The only match VM Sport showed live this weekend was Italy vs Scotland - RTE had the rights to the two other games in Ireland.
Exactly all week we heard about this amazing unbeatable Irish team. Ireland are a very good team but in the real key times they fail as history has shown. Stay humble guys.
Here are the stats for Matt..
3 tries vs 2
13 entries into the 22 vs 7
13 dominant tackles vs 4
56% ruck speed under 3secs vs 50%
114 Carries vs 93
8 line breaks vs 2
37% in opposition 22 vs 15%
56% territory vs 44%
100% scrums won vs 60%
95% line outs won vs 93%
327m post contact vs 183m
18 tackles missed vs 25
87% tackle completion vs 85%
aht about penalties conceded
Where did you get these stats from?
Allan has always been intelligent. When South Africa lost ierland they ask him who will win the world cup and he said he hopes ierland but he still thinks South Africa will . He gave england also good press leading up to this game . He is truly open minded and neutral as a analyst. You can replace him with Matt. What a master stroke that would be . Would surely up your viewership.
And today Matt Williams disappeared as quickly as JK and Goldie disappeared from the Breakdown after the final. Could not handle the heat of having to say he / they were wrong.
Ireland*
Matt Williams is a Wally.
England played fabulous rugby world class from a Irish fan
As an England fan I thought beforehand if we can keep Ireland under 40 points we'd had a good result
England have some top tier power athletes-Martin, Earl, Genge, Lawrence, Feyi-Waboso that can absolutely punch holes through any team.
As an Irish supporter for 55 years well done England . Where are those spoofers Trimble and Williams . Matt Williams getting away with it for years, this guy win three out of 18 games when Scotland coach against Italy , Japan and Samoa.
Matt is in hiding lol
He's got better things to do than waste his time with Virgins on Media
Hehehe!
😂
Am literally here for Matt Williams
@bryanantolik9900 And me wheres Matt 😂
Less than 2 minutes left on the clock and Ireland has the ball and we kick it back in play to England. Terrible game management.
75 seconds I believe
Shocking decision making , needed to call Lowe into the centre and give him the ball to lash it down the field .
Only a few weeks ago the headlines were "Johnny Who?" You can't replace Sexton and that continuity overnight
A gutting loss but full credit to England, a thrilling performance.
Where are the other guys LMAO 😂😂😂
They have lives
@@Baz502Oh, now they have lives? 😂😂😂
@@Darren_S They have virgin lives
Rugby 1.0.1 when you are 2 points up with less than 2 minutes to go don't kick the ball back to a pumped up opposing team.
As soon as he did it I thought we've lost this match
Same thoughts here, possibly an option if a try is needed, but Ireland had stolen that game until they gave England a chance with 90 seconds to go, you can't score if you don't have the ball. In a McCaw NZ team, England would have never touched that ball again.
@@geoffnelson6756Spot on mate.
Yes i thought exactly the same
The one time I want to hear what Matt Williams has to say he decides to become a magician. 😂
Matt Williams comes from a nation that has won rugby world cups, respect listen and keep quiet
Approximately 100 years ago, @@Baz502
Doesn't matter how long ago it, history is never forgotten. Matt Williams knows how to win world cups
@@Baz502 Matt William's literal only achievement is being the worst Scottish coach ever.
@@Baz502 are you just scrolling through all these comments and responding? 😂😂😂😂
I just came here for the comments. 🤣 Where's Trimble and Williams? Heaslip? Hows that " Best Team in the World Thing" going? From SA
From an Englishman, Alan Quinlan has been very fair to England all this week. He is a good egg.
Trimble however.... Haha
OMG Trimble was an embarrassment, as an Irish fan I was cringing before the game, but there's a bunch of them, Zebo, Heaslip even Cave.
But in fairness as Alan says you can only comment on past performances and England weren't great, but they sure turned it around.
Quinlan comes across as a balanced and perceptive.
We want to hear from Matt Williams
And that muppet Trimble.
I'm not just saying this because I'm English but England have always been capable of beating a better team on a given day, I didn't think England were going to win however I knew they were going to be a lot better than they had showed up to this point it was obvious in my opinion. Ireland are clearly the best team in the 6 nations and will be crowned Champions next Saturday however I was really surprised at the comments from some pundits before the game as some were ignorant and arrogant, I'll mention no names.
Tbf there was absolutely no reason to believe we would beat them BUT too many arrogantly and conveniently forget just what history England have. The most decorated NH team for a reason.
And you never heard an English pundit being ignorant and arrogant, stop now
@@davidgrogan3840 Make sense please, easier to argue with you
@dazeng4633 Great to see how Ireland have improved over the years, England make a big deal about beating Ireland, have to love it
@@davidgrogan3840 gotta agree. But you see that's where you try to trap us.
If we agree with you and say it should never ever have come to it where beating Ireland is such an achievement you'd call us arrogant.
On the other hand I'm more than happy to recognise Ireland's brilliance over the last couple of years.
Maybe we shouldn't of let our brightest coaches help you do it?
Or maybe you've had your moment?
Time will tell
Nothing from Trimble? But he was so sure!
Most England fans and pundits thought Ireland would win
Why is it that England wait the whole tournament to turn it up, where was this performance against Scotland?
@@stuarthanna-ih9ltEngland is a team in transition just like Wales. We had one decent game so far, Ireland are consistently good. As an England fan from Wales I’m taking nothing from this win until England are consistent.
@@leonardodavinci7425it’s fine to think Ireland will win but some of the comments from the Irish media were very dismissive and just asking to be fed some humble pie. They should know better having seen plenty of England sides who have looked very good come unstuck in Dublin.

He's curled up under that red thing, sobbing 😂
@@edwardgubbins6342 bullies
He's taking english classes.
He’s applying for a new job 😂
Odd they've brought out the more humble pundits for this one
Would have thought 5he full panel would have at least turned up. Alan Quinlan is the only one who has shown some humility all along.
Matt Williams MIA, following in JKs footsteps after the ABs lost the RWC final. Man up!
When will Irish ruby pundits learn not to be so smug before games, to be fair not these 2 , but the host and panel during the week previewing the game..
The host is a douche. He is a presenter that thinks he’s a pundit. Virgin is UK owned that will give you some idea.
We choked again .Such arrogance from the media and especially from ex players totally disregarding england. Suddenly they are saying england are a great team when really they are not. Ireland played like Rookies yesterday cause they belived the hype .
Totally agree. O'Mahony should be dropped from the panel. As for bringing on Conor Murray!!!!. Although Irish, I was glad England won. They were far, far better then the scoreline suggests.
@@noeloleary3157No at all. Ireland scored great tries. England were better sure.
Nonsense. Ireland didn’t play that badly England won by a point and they are going on like they won the World Cup. Ireland are one of the most consistent teams in the world that’s why the media hype them up. It’s their job to sell hype/stories.
@@johnmc3862 Don't know what game you were watching .
2 mins left. 2 points up. Hold the ball until 80 mins. Nah..wel give it back to England. Unbelievable mistake
Danny Care kicking the ball to Ireland about a minute earlier was equally stupid!
Where is that pratt Matt Williams.....can't face the camera?
He's watching 1991 and 1999 world cup highlights

😂 They sound very different from the pre match chat 😂
Pundits aren't the oracles of Delphi. What they say doesn't always come to fruitation. Sport punditry would be incredibly dull if every pundit has a pragmatic neutral view.
They are different people if you hadn't noticed
@@zeroconnectionyes, but it doesn’t say much for the quality of a channel when you see the kind of nonsense served up by their pundits in the preview. It’s one thing to back Ireland but quite another to be dismissive of England at Twickenham. My opinion is that Virgin Media Sport are not serious about proper rugby analysis.
Why was Murray box kicking with a min or two to go.
It looks like they've gone for the 3-2 split..... Trimble , Williams and Heaslip are back in the change room (sobbing) and these two have come on as the Bomb Squad.
😂 on point
Lol😂
😂😂😂😂😂
At last. They could not hold it in any longer .
2.5 minutes though!
What do you mean “at last” Rte covered the game yesterday, today was the first time virgin rugby were on air since the game and had to cover wales vs France first.
@@eoin8156bs 2 hours after the Scottish game it was up, it takes over a day to get this up, and it 2 mins long. Would bet my house if Ireland had won, we’d had seen it sooner and Matt Williams wouldn’t be playing where’s Wally
@@pneumaroofingltd9468Virgin Media covered the Scotland vs Italy game that day, that's why they had quick uploads. Are you mentally deficient!
@@pneumaroofingltd9468 Do you lack reading comprehension or is it just a general low IQ? This was explained already. Virgin Media only broadcast the Italy/Scotland game live on TV over the weekend. The competing station RTE showed the other games live. Their full analysis is on their CZcams channel for your viewing pleasure. That video includes Jamie Heaslip for you to boo and hiss at. This video you are commenting on is part of a smaller highlights package.
Are you also commenting on the BBC youtube channel wondering where their full analysis of the England/Ireland game is? If not, don't bother, as they didn't show it live either. ITV did.
Also, Matt Williams lives in France. I am sure if you go there, you can find him if you really are that desperate to see him.
😂 where’s the 3 Stooges?
Jacking each other off 💀🤣🤣🤣
Well done England they were great
The host sounds like he was choking on the humble pie... he didn't fancy that.😂
Tbf, there was absolutely no reason for England to win that game other than they're England.
A proud nation full of great players having a bad time. A backs against the wall England is a nightmare to anyone.
Ireland are still the best team in the world for me but the gap will close faster than they would like now I suspect.
From Englands point of view, wouldn't surprise me if they choke in France, still an amazing team. However I simply don't recognize the negativity about the state of English rugby from many pundits (O Gara, Barnes etc). I dont remember a time England have had so many options to choose from. Wales and Scotland certainly should thank us for it.
Jones spent 4 years systematically destroying England. The green shoots of recovery are there. We just never ever want to go through this again.
We’re is Matt ? This means England are the best team in the world !
Our Media have been terrible & i was embarrassed the way they were talking Ireland up for the week before. The Irish team would have been much more conservative & realistic. I knew England would have one good game in them, just when that was going to happen was another thing ? As an Ireland supporter I was worried for that game & knew in their own back yard they were going to apply real pressure & if nothing worked they would disrupt our systems. Fair play to the Irish team & management they were brilliant in defeat & will dust down & finish the Job.
As an Englishman I can say I've got a true respect for this Ireland team. They're the best "team" in the world. They just don't have the resources and x-factor some of the other nations have. The other top teams have a much larger player base and access to some incredibly gifted athletes. For Ireland to be competing against these nations is absolutely phenomenal. I can see why it's gone to the heads of some of these pundits but it's not a good look. They are ambassadors for Ireland and need to show some humility and less snug grinning.
Ireland yes have been very good the last couple of years, but why do they keep writing England off? Like they are surprised they lost?
It's England! The country with a huge player pool, with massive strength in depth, the country that's been to 4 world cup finals. England should never be written off
They don’t some of their media do. Even English fans thought they would lose that.
Have some grace in defeat and give England credit.Irish media arrogance is ridiculous
Yes they are embarassing to the Irish as well. Virgin is UK owned by the way!
The English calling others ignorant what a laugh.
@@johnmc3862no there not
Trimble and Williams in hiding
Where are the three musketeers? All for one and…..then run away when things go wrong. Two minutes and 36 seconds with two substitutes doesn’t really cut the mustard chaps! How long would those three have been on if Ireland had won? I’m not, and this isn’t anti Irish, just annoyed that people who are happy enough to slate a team aren’t brave enough, or have enough decency, to face up when their predictions go wrong.
Yes they’d have been waxing about Ireland being the best team in the world again
RTÉ were showing the game. This was from a highlights show so thats why they aren't present.
@@liamwilliams6651 they were there before the game. And those clips are up. Strangely they disappeared after
@liamwilliams6651 yes, I knew that already. Therefore as a review of the highlights I just go back and start again at my previous post.
It’s not the end of the world, it’s only one match.
All of them were at it yesterday.
Allan talks sense to be fair
If anybody had been paying attention, England played exactly as they did against Scotland two weeks ago. Minus the 22 handling errors and 23 turnovers, simples!
Irish rugby has come on leaps and bounds we are looked upon as one of the best teams in the world we have players who rightly believe that but I fear some of are older players are still are not sure about that we showed great composure in the face of a great english onslaught to be fair to still lead up to the last minute of the game and that when the doubt set in whit some of our decisions making in the last couple of minutes ireland have put together some great spirited onslaught on great teams in the past only to lose it the last minute only to be told in the media the next day that we wear defeated by a more professional team Ireland are great team and the irish rugby supporters firmly believe that they will go out next week and prove it to themselves
The lack of content from this channel about the defeat tells you everything you need to know about their ability to analyse games objectively.
Fine so long as they are just saying the same old stuff: This team good, this team bad, wow these players are the best in the world, etc etc.
Once something happens to challenge that line of thought, they actually don't know what to say or how to analyse the performance.
Pray for a big win against Scotland next week so they can brush over this, like they did in defeat to NZ, and can continue to believe Ireland are an unstoppable juggernaut.
Hopefully this will be a lesson to our obnoxious media and some pundits.
This shows that if any team shows up and actually plays rugby against Ireland, they are in trouble…
The immature arrogance shown last week, when talking about the Scottish and English games ,has proven that these clowns don't have a clue and arent worth listening to!
Absolutely!
Ireland will likely still win the championship mate, relax. So the arrogance is justified to a certain extent. South Africa lost in the group stages of the last 2 world cups and still managed to win them outright, so one blip away to an England team on form at home isn't a catastrophe.
Yet you all seem to still be listening. Erm, 🫤 puzzling.
@@iandooley7926and EVEN though South Africa were the world champions going into that WC they never bragged about being the best team yet they retained that WC. That’s the difference between arrogance (read Ireland) and the humility.
@@Zion66666 Who bragged about Ireland being the best team? Sam Warburton, Jonathan Davies, Steve Borthwick was it?
Lmao, managed 3 minutes of punditry. Hilarious.
Exactly
England won the beat Ireland slam
Obviously dissapointed but I think some grounding will come from this loss.
Hopefully these media people will stop embarrassingly us for a while.
I think the team needs to be freshened up a little for Saturday. Ringrose to start, maybe McCloskey on the bench, not sure who plays 13 & 14.
We needed to be taken down a peg, it will stand to us in the longterm.
Quinlan is always balanced unlike a few others on Saturday pre match.
Fair play to England, the better team on the day 👍
We're we not expecting this English defence
Is this the only clip you’re releasing…you absolute bottle jobs! 😂😂
Slightly less patronising tone from the host. Nice to see.
Hopefully he stays more balanced in the future. As Ireland will win again plenty in the coming years and hopefully they’ll do so with humility.
Andy Farrell said it best after the game. He’s a good example to follow
England win by one point and now they are the guardians of the galaxy according to the British press.....😂
Yep - after the pride, the fall ...
Where is Matt...hiding under the mat? 🇿🇦🇿🇦
Pratt Williams puking in the bathroom so couldn’t get on air
England were out to make a point against Ireland. They wanted to take us off our perch. It takes the good out of winning the championship next week.
I'll still celebrate it. If we lose next week hope France win the six nations. Huge respect for the les blues. 🇫🇷
Can someone please get Aidan Madigan a seat he can fit into?
His name is Ian Madigan
The Irish rugby pundits should stop being so arrogant. Look at the Springboks and All blacks, they love being called the underdog and they are the two most successful countries in world rugby with 7 world cup trophies between them. Being number 1 on the world ranking means nothing if you cant back it up with silverware or a series of wins. Some pundits even compared this Ireland team to the team of Richie Mccaw and Dan Carter🤣🤣🤣. The Irish fans are amazing and just a joy at rugby matches but the Irish pundits should be more humble or they will get humbled. Years from now, no one will know that Ireland was number 1 on world rankings but they will know which countries names are on the Webb Ellis trophy.
I saw something like that they said that their flanker not sure which one is better than Richie McCaw 😂
And yet not even made it past a QF.
South Africans are the most arrogant people in the world , you’re literally obsessed with other teams .
Spot on mate
I agree but difficult to hear a South African rugby fan call other nations arrogant lol
Fair play England, played really well and I wasn't surprised, but if its just a one off and they go and lose badly to France next week then their fans should get on their backs. Is there a reason why nobody is looking at the Genge cleanout on Furlong? Tadhg made the most of it but it looked bad.
England are a peak team good at the odd one-off win every few years against New Zealand South Africa or Ireland. The big question is, can thry back it up. Will they play like that against France, or was that just another big emotional one off performance.
They peak for world Cups which is why they have reached 4 finals winning one of them and Ireland are yet to progress beyond a QF.
@Kaiserbill99 Sure, what good is that they need to put together 3 big games. They keep building to beating one team for the last 5 or 6 years. What after that?
As an English man I have to say sadly, I think you're right, emotional highs and we can compete with anyone but consistency is another thing. I hope it changes soon
@@DM-rp9ik And what is the point in Ireland beating a Southern Hemisphere nation every other friendly and winning 6N here and there but flopping at the RWC?
The big games are RWC QF, SF, and finals.
@Kaiserbill99 Well, the 6 Nations is a trophy, so there's that.
Where is Gandalf at?
A. Farrel was at fault here. Kick and run was where Ireland lost it. Should have held on and just slowed the game down and made meters. But giving it to Lowe and him just kicking it just gave it bak to England. I could see it coming! I know it was only 1 point difference and a kick at the final few minutes but felt Ireland was so poor! Passing, tackling and basically everything we are known great at, was missing today???
This just stands as the ultimate lesson when it comes to sport. These high-profile journalists and "experts" focus way too much on the numbers and statistics as oppose to the mentality and atmosphere. Ireland may have an average of 5 tries per game compared to England's 2 but a lot of that comes down to their mindset. England thrive at Twickenham and the challenge of knocking out Ireland's back-to-back grand slams is a lot for any team and is a very effective fuel for progress and quality. If you write off a team purely because of how they've done in the past instead of looking at every factor, you're proving yourself as inept as a journalist/analyst.
Conor Murray on both sets of questions. An unforgivable error eitg a minute to play
Get it round yees Ireland. Thinking yer invisible and looking over teams like it's a given.
It's no harm to let the others win now and then it keeps the tournamen interesting and the best team in it Ireland on there toes.
Is it true that Jamie Heasplip was touting that Ireland were too good for the six nations ? The team and fans are great but the Irish media are away with the fairies
Show post match analysis, so o poor to not upload it
They didn't show the match. If you want post-match analysis, go to ITV or RTE as they actually broadcasted the match live. It's the same reason there is no BBC post-match analysis. It's not that difficult 😅
This has been heavily edited like a royal family photo.
Look on the brightside, at least there are no quarterfinals so therefore you still have a shot at 6N💀🤣🤣🤣
Still salty about losing to South Africa in the final? Out of all the losers, you came first, congrats.

Irish line out and scrum has been a problem since last years six nations and still hasn’t been addressed what does POC do ?
Also We have an awful habit of not rebuilding directly after a World Cup like other teams. France , Italy ,wales and England are all trying out new players seeing as it’s the start of a World Cup cycle.
Meanwhile we’re playing Pom Murray Healy furlong who won’t last more than another 1/2 years at most and then when they retire their replacements will be under cooked by the World Cup.
The line out is a weakness against the top teams.. I think POC is getting off very light because of his reputation here.
@@robertofarrell6412it would be one thing if it was bad against the very top teams but our scrum and line out were actually poor against wales and Scotland last year too and neither of them have top packs.
Furlong is way passed his best and is a liability and the line out is genuinely awful. Remember in Murrayfield last year we lost a tonne of line outs , same vs Georgia in the warm ups and sa and nz in the World Cup.
So basically it was due to ire under performance....the arrogance continues. I sat with a group of irish supporters and such good lads and so different to these stuff shirts
It's an Irish TV channel broadcasting in Ireland. They are analysing the Irish performance and what didn't go right. Do you want them to spend the segment blowing smoke up Englands ass?
These are the media not Irish supporters.
England are the best team in the 6 Nations considering they are the only Semi finalists from the North.
France and Wales too if talking about Northern Hemisphere teams in semis. France have also made three finals. England have made four finals and of course won one. Unless you mean 2023 specifically.

Well Ireland almost won and were only pipped at the death.
Jamie Heaslip on the BBC rugby podcast with incredible hyperbole. Saying England would have to go down to 14 or 13 to have a chance. Now I thought Ireland would win and that it would be hard fought but I cringed hard listening to him. How can someone who has played at the highest level professionally come out with such crap?
So many are missing the point on this subject.
On Virgin media and OTB there has been some really disrespectful comments, going back to before the World Cup.
Virgin media give Matt S air time FFS!!! Could there be anyone more miserable and less qualified to have that?
This week alone we have had Zebo with his 35 points comment, Heaslip with his 13/14 men comment, O Gara with his premiership is poor analysis, even BOD is quite sniping when he isn’t taking GBP from ITV!
Add to that the general dismissive attitude of the presenters on OTB especially, who have absolutely no right to be so arrogant, then you see why there is so much backlash.
And before you go down the nationalist path, look at the feelings that your media is creating with South Africa. They can’t wait for you to be in town in the summer.
We English have had to endure this with our pundits and media for years. We have had to tone it down massively because people got fed up of it.
You guys need to acknowledge it too.
You are missing the point. They are paid pundits on commercial Irish channels trying to drum up interest, clicks, and interactions. Especially from international fans frothing at the mouth shouting arrogance. It is water off a ducks back to them as they are doing what they are paid to do. Well done, you are playing into their game
I’m not agreeing with that one bit.
Is punditry something brand new in Ireland or something?
There’s been pundits around as long as there’s been broadcasting. Yes there’s been a lot of stupid comments from a lot of arrogant people.
These things happened a long time before the internet and the notion of click bait.
I’m not disputing your opinion, but maybe the recent success of the national team has gone to too many people’s heads and they are just talking from a position of arrogance?
I don’t believe for one minute that O Gara’s dismissal of the Premiership, Heaslip genuine assessment of the superiority of Irish rugby, or Zebos boast, or basically any of the disparaging put downs of OTB presenters is anything other than genuine.
There hasn’t been such a dominant Irish team, in any sport, that comes to mind. Maybe that’s what’s happening?
When you boast before a World Cup, or an away game in London, then you lose you have to take the flack.
Irish rugby fans, players and coaches don’t make these stupid statements. The media are out of touch with them!!
@@user-sd3hb6ru1w Have at it but realise what you are responding to. These shows are not broadcast outside of Ireland. They clip it for the internet to irritate people like you. See also their over the top gleeful criticism of Scotland.
Ireland has a history of controversial sporting pundits saying outrageous things about Soccer, Rugby, GAA etc. It is part of our broadcasting culture. Just nobody outside of Ireland gave a shit before cos we were crap. See Eamonn Dunphy, John Giles, George Hook, Brent Pope Joe Brolly, Pat Spillane etc. The current Virgin Media Rugby pundits are sensible by comparison. It's done to drum up interest and create conversations. It is how media works, especially commercial media.

@@user-sd3hb6ru1w Thanks!
They are all at it. Just read Stephen Jones. He is Welsh (albeit also a cheerleader for England) and they are much worse than the Irish and English imo. They gloat like no other when they win, rarely give credit and make a ton of excuses when they are rubbish, like now.
We usually beat up the Scots pack so we should win if we play our game. If we have a hangover from this result and lose our edge up front, their backs can do serious damage. I am cautiously optimistic like all Irish people apart from Virgin Media Pundits and the arrogant Rugger types
How arrogant, just 2.5 minutes of humble pie, after completely writing off England, disrespectful, appalling journalism 😢
South Africa only needed 10 minutes to beat England;)

@@Laurentus says an Irish fan who got knocked in 2007 and 1999 groups 🤔
Sorry, you've got me confused with someone else. My team are 4x world champs. @@Baz502
@@Baz502 Bok supporter here, mate, and you really don't wanna get into these weeds. 😂
@Laurentus Oh yeah Boks have been knocked out in loads of world cup pools too, the women have never even got to a quarter final
Molloys smugness dialled down.....for once.
Ahhhhhhh !!!!
They just won one game give me a break
Great teams find a way to win when they are not playing well, Ireland did that yesterday, but a Richie McCaw team would not give away the ball on the halfway line when 3 points would lose the game, England gave SA exactly that at the WC. POM was off the pitch, an experienced captain would have went through a few phases and possibly kicked into the opposing 22. Bit of poor game management in my eyes.
All gone quite lads eh
Can we some lolipops and biscuits for all the poor Safffas and Brits so terribly upset by Irish rugby panel discussions? UNICEF? Where is UNICEF? 😢😢😢😢😢😢
Sorry mate. Arrogance is arrogance and you can’t slag everyone else off for it, then dismiss it as irrelevant when it’s done by your own!!
In the RWC and last weekend your online pundits have been giving it some large, big time. When it backfires on you you really have to just grin and bear it.
You will still win the championship , you are still the best team. But there’s some real bollocks emerging in your media.
Saffas and Englanders are never arrogant? You lot were born arrogant 😅

That’s true, no need for you guys to join us then is there??
You can’t always go around playing the loveable card!
And FYI, that arrogance comes from previous success.
When you can add some trophies to the mouth, then you are entitled to mouth off. And the six nations isn’t the world stage I’m afraid.
@@user-sd3hb6ru1w Oi!! Guvnor mate guv!! What you doing 'ere Mate? Watching all them Oirish on obscure Made-for-Ireland Rugby channels eh? An' getting all upset eh? Got a bit of a problem guv? 😂😂
Joe Molloy has been a smug smarmbag all week, never gave England a chance. Joke of a presenter.
and not just this week, he’s been insufferably arrogant for a while. Apart from that I don’t see what he brings to the job, he should be replaced.
100% He’s a presenter that thinks he’s a pundit. Embarrassing stuff.
As Saffa🇿🇦
Ireland are still the “Best Team in the World”, no cap🧢
Wooooooo!!!!!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Where is Matt the fraud?
Punditry = pointless, overpaid fresh air! These days I only ever watch the game. I strongly suggest you do the same. I’ve come on here for the first and only time to make this point about the hot gases laboriously spewed over the watching masses that come out of the mouths and many other orifices of yesterday’s men & women some of whom are now unrecognisable in their trendy, oversized, tortoiseshell rimmed glasses. Ireland have still never made it past a WC QF. Just sayin’ like. Bye bye.
Hilarious punditry. Matt?😂. Humble pie time. Maybe learn a lesson to temper your arrogance
Wow the english calling others ignorant what a laugh.
Interesting how after the first few games Crowley was hearled as the 2nd coming of Christ by some. This was his first real test and he dissappeared.
The main thing that went wrong for Ireland was being Irish 😂
