- The trophy cabinet is almost full for Ireland, pressure game after pressure game with 13 wins unbeaten. Despite their good record and entering the tournament as the top seed... they aren't predicted to win, they aren't even in the top 3!
Why is everyone writing Ireland's World Cup chances off?
I analyse all the main talking points from Ireland camp, including standout players, form, play style and an overall prediction for the tournament.

Will they put the final trophy in the cabinet?
"Sorry Springboks Ireland has the best forwards" Hilarious, you will eat your words mate.
Heart says yes, head says no.
@@christo_kruger probably the best *** haha, both have their strengths. Can’t wait for the game
@@christo_kruger I am positive that Ireland's pack of forwards is impressive in and around the six nations, and that is great to know that Ireland is eager to measure there forwards against the best in the world, really excited to see when the Ireland and the bomb sqaud meets
@@christo_krugeruh huh, maybe you’ll eat yours bru. No doubt BOKs are incredible, but they are still beatable. As soon as you are ok with that then it’s up to the best team on the day.
By the way- boks are my second team.
The key for SA is to slow them down, and both teams will have been discussing it for weeks. The nicest visitors I have met in Cape Town are the Irish. What wonderful, humble and humerous people
100% with you on the slowing down! Will be an amazing game.
Ireland has got great momentum, and there plays is awesome, wishing the Ireland team and fans a safe happy WC, from a south african supporter
Only a few weeks ago I commented that you pronounced Tadgh wrong. You replied saying youd fix it in the next video. And I am happy to say that you indeed did. That has earned you a subscription from me good sir.
Legendddd! Thank you 😊
And you’ve just spelled ‘Tadhg’ wrong! Calling out others for not saying it right! 😂😂😂
@@johnmc3862 fair point mate
There’s actually two spellings for Tadgh
Excuse 7879 ………..he’s Australian ! 😂
I'm Aussie but really do hope Ireland can at least get to the semis ... And it'd be even sweeter if they won it - Come on the men in green!!
Yep I know the feeling! They’re my second team alongside the pacific islands 🤣
Irish lad here, I really hope your right mate but there are some pretty awesome teams in the mix, dont discount your own Wallabies either, they have an easier path plus they have won it twice before!!
@@ledzeppelin708cheers mate ... It'll be a bonus if Wallabies make the semis I reckon. Anyhow I'll be doing a plug for the men in green on my channel too 😉
@@footyfin Cheers mate, should be a fantastic tournament, by the way, I never mentioned that my favourite player ever happens to be an Aussie, the great David Campese, what a player 🤘🤘
I’m Irish and no way am I thinking anything will be easy about getting out of the group. Thanks UGGY and don’t worry about Irish names most struggle with them. ✌️
Mad how Ireland has won 27 of the last 29 test matches. Ireland is a different team to the 2019 Ireland.
If they were to crumble with fear and “bottle it” they would have back during the six nations when they played France for the grand slam. They also would have when they lost the first match in New Zealand but went on the beat them the remaining two games which won them the series. They also played SA home while number one in the world and beat them there and have a 54% win ratio over SA. So it’s so evenly matched it’s crazy.
Both teams can win on the day which is why this game is going to be so exciting.
Gotta admit this is refreshing for an irish supporter. I think youll see a couple of surprises for the bok game. If you think you know what andy farrell is going to do next youre a fool
Either way....going to welcome them hime in Dublin Airport...proud of what they acheived and what they have done for Irish sport. COYBIG
My first preference would be for France to win that cup, but if not, I'd be more than happy to see Ireland go through all the way.
Imagine a semi final could be easier then two of the games in the groups and quarter finals.. lol
It’s absolutely nuts!
Thank you for actually telling it like it is for Ireland! Every other country writes us off to a dominate super rugby NZ, a recent run of form for SA or hosts France. The irish pundits have been incredibly negative recently. The boys in green built their title through hard work and results. I completely accept the hard run of games we have from our group, suspected QF and enivitable final(if we go that far). I for one believe in this group we have currently to go all the way. I am 100% biased being Irish but for the sake of rugby in general can every rugby fan imagine (Even if your country gets knocked out) the six nations match 2023 between Ireland and France times a world cup trophy on the line if thats the final this tournament plays out. Easily the best first 50 minutes of rugby you will have seen in the last (debate ensues). But take that and multiply it by a world cup trophy when neither teams has ever won one. Even as an Irish Fan my heart goes out to France for Ntamack, danty, Baille and Willemse because that is the final I want to see with all of them playing plus the other star player against, Porter, Sheehan, Furlong, Beirne, Ryan, O'Mahoney, Van der flier, Doris, JGP, Sexton, Lowe, henshaw, Ringrose, hansen, Keenan!
Cheers for the comment and helping my algorithm 🤣 Ireland have achieved everything but the World Cup! And still sit as 4th favourites, bit of a head scratcher!
Thanks Uggy, very genuine and accurate video, you have captured exactly what every Ireland fan is thinking, with an easier pool I would be reasonably cofident of them getting to the final, but as you pointed out, the wear and tear of facing the top 5 week after week could be their undoing, Andy Farrell has done an amazing job of developing depth in the team, but a few losses of key players would put Ireland under great pressure, we just need the luck of the Irish for a few weeks.
Thanks for the kind words 😊 best of luck to the Irish 🇮🇪, they really have been the best team leading into the World Cup!
Nail on the head it'll be 1/4er exit or Final glory toss a coin for either but damn it's gonna be one hell of a ride! Ireland Abu!!!
Fair play mate very unbiased review from Ireland
Thanks champion!!
The pronunciation of Tadgh was ✨perfect✨
Great video as always Uggy! Looking forward to your coverage.
Thanks legend!! I’ve been weighing up whether to preview/review rounds.. or sit back and enjoy the month it is
The tension is rising.
Wouldn’t it be great for rugby if we actually won the blinking thing ? ☘️🇮🇪
Haha that it would!
No it would not be a good thing for rugby if Ireland win because they are after NZ the 2nd biggest scandalous cheats.
If refs do their jobs properly Ireland should be blown to pieces like what happened to NZ last Friday.
If the cheating gets stopped they lose so much unfair extra forward momentum. About 40% of their fire power.
I like you Uggy but oooooof that call on the packs? I can't agree. Great video anyway mate, the pool game is gonna be a great game
True was a big call! Haha, let’s be honest tho - both have pretty dominant packs. It’s the running game & rucking of Ireland’s that just excites me as a rugby fan.
Agree! I love there’s so many games that will feel grand final quality
@@uggy its not an outrageous one. That ireland pack is not only physical but mistake free machine. Probably best disciplined in the world!
@@jonathanstewart8106 so true! Both have there own strengths 🔥 my next video is overall prediction.. scary knowing I’ll be wrong haha.
Healy is a big loss for Ireland. Porter is a great back up, but if porter is injured, we are screwed.
Can you really contain SA's starting pack of 8 and then a BOMB SQUAD of 8 ?
Great video man, and loving the puns! Keep it up!
Cheers mate 🤣 there’s a few dreadful ones in tomorrows video too. Thanks for the comment & support much appreciated
First of all, great job on the player names. There's a few tricky pronunciations.
I think a lot of people seem to be working Ireland off.
You mention the quarter final, which obviously we've never got past before. It's going to be an insanely tough match whichever way it goes. Personally I think Ireland could beat anyone, but I think most Irish people would prefer to meet the All Blacks than France in the quarters.
Thank you! Really appreciate it. & that’s really interesting preferring France over the AB’s (guess I just see the AB’s a lot more this side of the world). Can’t wait 🔥
We may prefer to meet the All Blacks now, but perspective can change so much in the matter of only one game being played. Despite their performance against SA in the warm up, the All Black's could shoot the lights out on opening night and blow us all away with rugby wizardry like the first 20 mins against South Africa in the rugby championship, and all of a sudden we'll be praying for France. Plus, France have lost Ntmack, front row Cyril Baille, and now their lock Williamse for the entire tournament.
Great content as always!
Only a few more sleeps🙏💥🏉
Can't wait!
Going to be a zombie at work once it starts 🤣 so bloody excited. Thanks for the kind words and helping me with the algorithm, you are a legend 💪
A subscription to you.. good luck! From Ireland
Legend!! Welcome, good luck 🇮🇪
Tadhg level unlocked. If you pronounce Gallagher with the second “g” silent, you’re automatically entitled to Irish citizenship.
Thanks for the Intel brother
You got Tadgh spot on!
Day made 😍
Great video mate
Thanks champion!
I still have my rwc 07 jersey. It's a reminder that no matter how good the squad is it can all go wrong.
One of the few rugby Utuber's to pronounce Tadhg correctly. (Tiger without the er) and more importantly one of the few Utubers giving Ireland their due considering their performace over the last year and a half.
Cheers! You have a bloody good team, would swap the wallabies any day 🤣
It’s a 3 part tournament for me
Get out of a seriously tough group
Get past QF
Win it ..
Nailed it 💯
You pronounced it right well done. Yeah something feels good about Ireland like they haven't been worked out and They learned to win tight games.
From a South African, good luck Ireland. You guys are on tremendous form, but seeing as this is the most competitive world cup to date, it's not going to be as easy as you guys think.
I don't know who you have been talking to but I haven't heard a single Irish fan being complacent about our chances of winning the World Cup. Nightmare group for starters and then having to almost certainly having to play France or NZ in the quarters if you qualify? I have not met one Irish man getting carried away with it
As an Irishman, I can tell you, I haven't met an Irish fan that thinks that this is a sure thing. SA are a serious squad, and Scotland are no push over right now. Then NZ or Fra (at home). My personal prediction is that France will knock us out, in the final or quarter. Any team that beats us will have to bring their A game though.
Irish fan here. Nothing about the challenge we face is going to be easy. That's the only thing I'm certain about going into this WC.
Thank you .. I do think South Africa will go all the way
Certainly don't think it's easy. I think most Irish are terrified of that potential quarter final..
We will see , just waiting
Think that rest week between the Springboks and Scotland test will be critical for them, they'll know what they need to advance and who they would be playing in that quarter final so possibly a chance to use the squad depth a bit and be in good nick for the following week.
Nailed it! Tadgh !
🥳 woohoo.
People forget that Ireland might settle for runner-up position in the group in order to mitigate against injuries in the SA game. They may opt to field a B team against SA and then throw everything at Scotland. This would be smarter tournament management instead of risking facing Scotland and potentially a Quarter Final with a depleted side.
Hey I like your strategic thinking! 😊👌
Yes but also a risk. If Ireland loses to Scots you are gone. They are a very improved side. Losing the other day in Paris only 27 - 30
@@Wide-eye Ireland have not lost to the Scots since 2017. Ireland have won 24 of the last 29 meetings between the two sides going back to the year 2000. Over the same period Ireland have played South Africa 13 times and Ireland have only lost 6 times.
@@Wide-eye Every game strategy is a risk. From Ireland's perspective it might be considered a bigger risk to field a full side against the physicality of South Africa and risk injury to their big players, leaving them to face Scotland and potentially the Quarter final, etc with a depleted side. That sounds like a much bigger risk. Scotland (like Ireland) is a side that signifies speed rather than physicality. Ireland risks far less injuries playing against Scotland than against SA. If this turns out to be Andy Farrell's strategy then Scotland's chances of progressing are diminished.
@@helenaville5939it will be in our minds. We get to see SA Scotland first. We can't forget the cost of beating France to win our WC group only to lose 3 key players, and then being mauled in the QF as a result
Ireland have the rugby world trembling in their rugby boots with those dominating wins over rugby heavyweights Italy and Samoa. And that trouncing of a demoralised England, surely means they have one hand on the cup already. What an awesome build up to this tournament. They're battle hardened and battle tested now. They look like world beaters.
🤣🤣🤣
Thanks!
Did you forget all the other wins 😂
@@LeMerch Did you forget 2019 ? No one is impressed by Ireland. No one. Including the bookies. They're the experts.
@@JaemanEdwards You’re being condescending which is what teenagers do but maybe you are one. Context is key, Ireland today are nothing like the 2019 team. The fact you didn’t know that makes sense tho.
Bookies have them in top 4, which is literally where everyone else has them. Are you a bitter Kiwi or sad Englishman?
Ireland play the best brand of rugby by far and makes the game better for the casual watcher of the game. Top teams are playing to win by playing a boring kicking game with power and Im not a fan of the water break introduced in last nights game, I feel its targeted to helping promote the power game for recovery and not good overall game as we are supposed to be moving away from slowing the game down with quicker lineouts and set pieces. Im sure the French and Boks wont complain however 😂
Hope we at least get to the quarter/semi finals this time. Bokke look strong and in control at the moment
Yep, fair play on Tadgh pronunciation, spot on. We can win this. If everyone is fit going into SA game we’ll have the game plan to beat them.☘️☘️☘️
Be just typical for Sexton to win the world cup in his last game for Ireland 😂
i think its more just coincidence, if johnny sexton retired after the 2019 rwc and our main kicker was jack crowley we would still win
Ireland v France final 🙌 you heard it here first
god why is it as someone born and bred from cork that hearing all this just gives me dread
Hey, as a frenchman, i see Irlande lifting the cup... Just a wonderful team in all facets of the game... 2nd will be SA FRANCE or NZ at libitum... But go France ❤... Good vid ty
Thanks brother!! I give my predictions in my video later today, similarirshhh
If I were the Boks. I would have intentionally focused hard hitters on Sexton. He is a great player, but I’ve noticed him limping off the field many times during matches
Not very sportsmanship on a great player on his last competition before retirement
@@Irish780 no no you are misunderstanding. I do not suggest foul play. Remember this is rugby and you play by your strengths and other’s weaknesses. There is nothing unsportsmanlike about a hard tackle
Ireland plays very good but the last test was an Irish homegame against the Boks and PD was only 3. Normally home teams advantage is at least one score's worth. Boks have improved their game as well in the mean time so there is nothing much between the two. AB's hiding aside, the Boks are firing on all cylinders since Kolisis' return and I dont see Scotland or Ireland stopping them.
Regardless, we are in for some great rugby and may the best team win.
I’m super excited! Thanks for the comment & helping the algorithm. Personally, I feel like I’ve gone through absolute waves of who I think will win the World Cup. Started with France, then Ireland, then the All Blacks, the Springboks and now I’m deadset confused 🤣
France is closer to home to Ireland than SA, expect a big Irish crowd.
The last 6 nations was the real Ireland team.
France got into our 5 meter channel once in the entire game for their only try.
Ireland scored 4 and was held up over the line another 2 or 3 times.
Ireland's defence will win it for us over the Boks.
Then players will be rested for the Scotland game.
In the autumn games last year we seemed to be trying out things, mainly around our forwards play.
I love how you believe the Boks' will win because they will have improved since losing to Ireland last time out. And you don't think Ireland will have spent this interim period improving too? 😂
@@helenaville5939 they're deluded.
France and SA managed one try each vs Ireland.
Our average is about 3 to 4 tries per game irrelevant of the opposition.
1 try and a couple of penalties won't cut it vs Ireland.... Can they do better vs our defence, I don't think so, we'll see.
Ireland has a few kiwis for when they face the kiwis 😂 gl Ireland and everyone else, good fun coming up 🎉
Irishman here.....youve just won a new sub mate ;) lol
Haha champion welcome!
Waaheeeey , you got Tadgh right.
hopefully it is our time
Basically pretty simple for Ireland, break their quarterfinals jinx and then win the world cup.
Their only competition is the Springboks... Thats it... and we want revenge from the 19 - 16 last match we played with them
Hey Uggy, love your content and your work. But you should know that the name ‘Tadhg’ is actually pronounced ‘Quentin’. It’s this strange quirk of the Irish language that all of those letters sound the way you would expect, but when you put them all together, it’s pronounced ‘Quentin’.
Mostly agree, but springboks are stronger up front. Irelands mobility in the tight 5 is remarkable though. It’s going to be an interesting tournament for sure
Complete different styles & strengths. Can’t wait to watch them duke it out
south Africa will remain unbeaten in pool B and they possibly will face alblacks and Ireland could end up facing France
All the irish guys i know are basically looking past the pool stage & concentrating on the quarter final! Sorry to burst their bubble but it's going to be us scots that make the quarter final & the irish will be going home tail between their legs from another early world cup exit as per usual!
I think facing the all blacks in the quarter finals wouldn't be a problem I'd back them to win that match any day, the real problem would be playing France keeping in mind that they are at home
Ireland gonna win this time
🤣 if they manage to beat everyone, it will be absolutely nuts
Well done on pronouncing Tadhg!!
Thanks mate!!
Regardless of the the South Africa vs Ireland result, I hope Ireland well going forward, and hopefully they win their QF against either France or New Zealand, after that its in the hands of the Rugby Gods. Maybe South Africa will meet Ireland in the final if my math's is correct.
Ireland’s biggest Māori fan right here g can’t wait to see them win the World Cup and rub it in Fozzie’s face lol bring in Tony Brown as ABs coach so we get a proper amount of Landers gonna be supporting the Irish until Sam Gilbert makes the ABs he got robbed hard as
Another 'fair weather'supporter' i guess !
@@alanbishop9737 nah g I’ve played since 6 years old and play 7 for my local club do the research lmao
Unlikely, but as you mentioned in the video, it is no sure thing that any Group B team goes past the pool stages.
Ireland is not getting out of the pool stage! South africa & scotland 1st & 2nd, its money in the bank!
Hon Ireland 🇮🇪
How may times have they played the boks away from Ireland
Seven times, all in South Africa.
Ireland the real World Cup champs bro
Rather we play all blacks in quarters over france tbh
Less than a week to go! As bad as the pool draw was...its going to make the competition a blood bath. Ireland are capable of beating SA and Scotland....but that just puts us against NZ or France....and we've beaten them all in the last year.....really?
Fiji vs Tonga or Samoa Final.... money in the bank ☝️🤪
As old saying goes build momentum its ok were not at full tilt yet lets peak for springbokks the skys the limit after that may the best team win as long its good rugby who cares best field game in the world by long way money has destroyed football sadly😂
Keenan underrated by whom? He's regarded as the best full back in the N hemisphere for some time now. Probably in the world. The Southern hemisphere you tubers bias is hilarious.
Up the Wah's...☝️🤪
Can they beat the Panthers now??
How good was Cogger last night!
@@footyfin ... don't want to put a hoodoo on the Wah's..but they'll have Tohu back and their players who were benched so they should be back to full strength ...they wanted the Panthers and now they got them , the reigning Champion's are a great side.. but to be the Champions you got to beat the Champions... this game will be a cracker... Up The Wah's.. go get 'em boy's...☝️😎
@@uggy..Cogger was awesome.. they got weapons all over the park and Nathan pulling the strings...yeah it'll be a cracker...☝️😎...Up The Wah's... Go get 'em boy's
Ireland is a lucky packet team, you would still be laughing stock if it weren’t for the new residency rule
You said Ireland have a better forward pack than SA? Are you delusional? Kitshoff, Marx, Malherbe are licking their lips. Irelands only hope to beat SA is not to give away penalties. Actually cant believe you said that.
Both have there strengths, I’d say the running game of Irelands forwards is better then the Boks. Ireland statistically have higher ruck success and while the Boks have a better set piece, last time they played there wasn’t a turnover at any set piece. Either way will be a great match up!
Ireland won't make it out of the pool, mark my words
I love your optimism, good for you. Hon Ireland
proved me wrong and good on em!@@cathalodiubhain5739
Johnny will get busted, the team will choke and early trip home for the bhoys in green....
Yeah probably
🤣
Honestly, Johnny getting injured will not be as bad as you think. Ireland have gotten used to playing without him. If Ringrose or Porter are injured, its a much bigger issue.
Hahahahahahahahahaha 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
World Champs the Springboks 2023
That doesn’t count bro ABs trash the real final was the pool match that you lost cause you play boring rugby lol
Its always ok to mispronounce Irish names. Siobhan doesn't make any sense.
It makes no sense , it’s a Gaelic name taken from the Gaelic language and it’s not ok to pronounce any one name wrong, that would be very ignorant.
Best forward pack?? No man…you are giving away either prejudice or ignorance? There are no better 2packs than the Bok run on pack and the Bok bomb squad…then maybe the Irish- I rate the French pack either equal or better than th3 Irish…
Haha both have there strengths in different aspects! The boks are good in the collisions, set piece and mauling where as Ireland I reckon look a bit faster, bit fitter and there breakdown work is insane. Both awesome packs though 🔥
@@uggy As an Irishman, I would say the boks scrum is a little better, possibly the French are better too, but our rucking, and ball carrying forwards are second to none.
@@lukeytron the passing game of the Irish forwards 🤤 there was so many clips I couldn’t fit into this video.
Best ever Irish team but one who could because of the draw even fail to make it out of their group. It is possible SA beat both Ireland and Scotland and then whichever of these teams wins the last group game could well be depleted with injuries and tired and then have to face France or NZ. This is what happened in 2015 when shorn of arguably their four most important players and with nothing in the tank they lost to Argentina in the QF.
