Appreciating the lighting behind Bernard.🇮🇪
I’d prefer just green as that is the tricolour and doesn’t include the Ulster contingent, I’m from the rep by the way
@@RoyBattyLives I'm from ulster and the tricolour represents the large majority of ulster. I agree it's best to be respectful on our unionist neighbours however saying the tricolour doesn't represent people from ulster is incorrect.
@@higuk999 Hi Gareth, yes of course it does, it also excludes others from NI. I wish that Unionists would embrace the orange within the flag, but we have to expect that will never happen. So personally I like to use the ☘️ as it includes us all.
@@RoyBattyLives yeah I agree I just feel to people outside ulster it assumed it is like 80% British 20% Irish where as in ni its about 40% each and if you include all 9 counties there's a large majority Irish. I'm happy to use the shamrock just wanna have numbers correct and not exclude those in the 3 non ni parts of ulster
@@higuk999 fair enough Gareth. Greetings from Tipp
Dont underestimate the Southern hemesphere teams something is cooking in the southern hemesphere tht none of the Northern hemesphere teams knows about. All i can say you in for a big surprise.
Southern storm inbound - & plenty underestimated
Wasn't much of a surprise at the under 20s world cup. France no 1 and Ireland no 2
Springboks - Hold my beer!
All blacks hold my beer.
It’s amazing to me how much hype there is around Ireland and yet their best result is the quarters and South Africa’s worst result is the quarters. Guys are talking about combined 6 time champions SA and NZ like they haven’t done anything haha
@@Alex-ze2ii This is a Scottish guy interviewing an Irish guy talking about the Ireland team and their chances. If you want to hear talk about NZ, SA chances I'm sure there are plenty of videos out there and more coming, and no serious rugby fan rules out SA or the KIwis for the very reasons you mention and more.
Lol more like all blacks hold my beer😂
@@Alex-ze2iibecause the past has very little to no impact on the current team that have lost 2 games in 2 years
they have beaten literally all the top countries. This years six nations was a white wash even when they played bad by their standards no one was close 😂 they are clearly the best team in the world that’s why.
I think Ireland are heaping the pressure on themselves unnecessarily.
For a team that's never even got to a semi-final,. they are sounding very confident.
France, for me, at still the team to beat. They are at home and are equalto the Irish in the past couple of seasons, with a better record in the RWC.
Also, RSA, NZ will fancy their chances.
why on earth would they not be sounding confident? They've proved theyre the best team in the world.
@@NC-ck5oj because the ABs were consistently the best team in the world for around 20 years and they failed to win the RWC in that time. Ireland have a good chance but their RWC record from 1987 to date is abject failure
So they shouldnt be sounding confident. is that what youre seriously telling me? Success breeds confidence, which breeds more success. Its one of the most important mental factors in sports. They should absolutely believe theyre going to win the world cup
Aside from a few ex-players, here in Ireland we’re not talking about winning the World Cup. With a very tough group and even tougher QF (if we get that far), the talk is very much “if we had an easier draw, we would fancy ourselves to go far”.
@@NC-ck5oj not quite yet ............all teams are re- building for the World Cup ....
We are not expected by any one to get by a QF and that suits us. But we are long over due a good RWC 🏆🌍 big point to prove ☘️
This Irish team aren’t the finished article either they have gears they can go through to get better. They know some things to work on I think they will just keep getting better.
Nah, you've pretty much peaked I think
@@dazeng4633 nope the scrum and line out need work particularly trying to the tail of the line out. Defending the maul needs to be better. There is plenty of room for improvement.
@@ciaranbrk I think you're under the impression everyone else will stand still
@@dazeng4633 Ireland will not take anything for granted or believe the hype flying around about them, it’s not in the Irish DNA to be gullible and to be full of themselves
@@Shane-zx4ps oh do shut up.
What a load of bollocks
New Zealand are ranked 3rd by a whisker. Because fozzie has lost his job, because no-one thought we'd do very well, ironically he has now got a free shot at it, and will do better than we thought, because he and the team have nothing to lose.
I agree that Australia are the dark horse, they have a cushy draw
3rd by a whisker compared to SA in 4th you mean? Ireland & France are clearly the best 2 sides in the world atm.
Ireland will win it, no question!
🤣😂🤣😂
Are you sure about that?
Ireland must take it gme for gme and must focus on the semifinal spot
This guys are in for a shock during the world cup. World Cup is totally a different ball game. I still say any team that's mentally strong and have good back up players can win a world cup.
Which is exactly where Ireland are at now. Look at all the pressure and squad adversity they had to overcome in the 6N.. even the pressure faced in the autumn series against SH teams and the NZ tour.
Ireland rugby is a different beast right now, there's confidence and not a sniff of fear.. and I'm backing our boys in green 100%... It'll be tough, but bejesus we'd have earned it. COYBIG 🇮🇪
The last sentence applies to ANY team that wins the WC from pool A or B.
You basically just described Ireland atm. I don’t think they’ll win it as they’re lacking the size in the pack despite how quality the Irish forwards are. But if your talking about a team with depth and mental resilience then Ireland are front runners
Hence why the SH sides dominate the RWC they're mentally stronger and lift their game at world cups
@@Trajan2401 Infairness I do think the NH teams were a little behind the curve originally. Another problem is the six nations is always the priority. But I think it’s closer now, I suppose the main problem for a country like Ireland is they need to be 60kg heavier in the pack and tend to struggle to produce monsters
Can’t help but feel NZ are gonna make a statement on the French and the WC, “Ya’ll must’ve forgot about us”
The Power of the Boks🇿🇦🦌💪💥. Hulk smash..The Bokke is coming.
Not sure if they handle the pressure not one player was in WC semi final it will be different storey and public pressure will be to much SA or NZ will take it
You have to remember the pressure of the RWC and that number 1 tag can be heavy to carry.
No one is saying it's a forgone conclusion. There is a difference between confidence and hubris. If there any chance of Ireland winning a world cup. They have to be confident. You have to back your own ability to win games.
As an Irish supporter a win would be magic. But the group is such that the winner will be the one who can get through with the least injuries and some luck.
Saying that 2027 is better for Ireland. There's an absolute string of talent coming through.
We get past the quarters and we can do it, best chance we've ever had.
Sentiment says France should win (runners up ‘87, ‘99, ‘11) and hosts.
I agree - they are on *HOME SOIL* & they have been performing well and their team is playing intelligently!
I suspect they will beat NZ in the pool games - making them top of their pool.
They will then either face SA or Ireland in the QFs!
Not to mention the benefit of the renowned French broadcasting, and referees like Wayne Barnes who are literally French supporters
@@inBODwetrust13 How about the Lowe non-try, that's another level entirely
@@inBODwetrust13 Getting in your excuses early, aren't you?
@@mahasamatman12 you mean the no arms tackle by Penaud that was a textbook penalty try?
We've learned from our mistakes been number 1 in the world means nothing we've learned from the last WC believe me.
Ireland will get passed the quarters this time mark my words weather we go further is another thing
are we forgetting the springboks lost to both ireland and france by 7 points over two games without a flyhalf or recognised goal kicker
Put an emphasis on the "lost" part.
November series in which SA Rugby are contracted to go to because of the money for the union. As a player I would certainly not be be happy to be "forced" to go on these trips but have to because of my contract.
Do Ireland or France have the mentality to win the world cup is a big question. To play in a competition of this magnitude is totally different. This isnt your 4 or 6 nations. This is a totally a new ball game Although these 2 teams show alot of improvement. This is my thought tht a Southern hemesphere team gonna take this one in France.
Hard understand 😅 Ireland easily beat france and left at least 2 trys out there just common sense
I genuinely hope is what he should've said
Only once in the history of rugby has it happened that a team has won against the all blacks, wallabies and the springboks within a 3 week period. It was England in 2002, in order to win this year's world cup... You are going to have to do that
I think this World Cup will see some firsts, among those being a first French victory, and with that, a first win by a NH team on home soil. This one is also a long shot, but could we also see the first defending champions to be eliminated at the pool stage and with that, the first of the so-called "Big 3" of the SH to suffer such a fate? There's plenty of chances for major firsts at this WC.
Lol
😂😂😂😂 I’ll come back to laugh some more in October
@Aidan Holland France ain’t winning it .
Or Ireland is so 200% focus on winning the quarters; they forget to first beat SA and the Scots in the pool stages. Really hope France to win it against SA/NZ/IRE in a final.
@@orlandosadie6283 Fug France! Rather Ireland.
He’s not wrong about australia, they’ll get better the further they get in the competition. But in a quarter final against England I’d back England. Ireland will face France in the quarters, and I think that’s not great news for them.
Oh I didn't realize it had been predetermined that Ireland will play France in the quarters. With this knowledge of yours you could become a millionaire at the bookies.
@@harshbutfair8993 you know it doesn’t matter who ireland face in the quarters, they’re going out.
No, I think Ireland will beat South Africa
@@mahasamatman12 LOL, funny!
I agree about Australia - with Eddie Jones at the helm they are a different kettle of fish!
I also won't discard Argentina - in 2022 (last year) they beat England at Twickenham & the AB's at Christchurch!
NH viewers have always made rubbish calls for the WC all I know is whatever team Northerners hype that's the team not winning
Haha, yes it's hard to argue against that
Having Ireland or France win it is great for Rugby overall. But keep an eye on Mr Jones and his rogue Ozzy team.
'Boks, France, All Blacks, Australia and Ireland - in that order
😂😂sure
France , NZ, Boks, Ireland, Aus, Eng.
Ireland, France, Nz, Eng, Aus, SA in that order
SA, France, Ireland, NZ in that order. No other team stands a chance
@@Shandyboy8612 Ireland, France, Nz, Eng, Aus, Sco, SA, Arg, Geo, Wal, Ita, Jap in that order rn
You’re in form beating teams on homeground, beating the Springboks in France will be almost impossible for Ireland. We will monster them upfront and beat them into submission 😤
Only watching this April 2024, boy this didn't age well
WC is anyone's right now different type of pressure Ireland 🇮🇪 will choke and peaked too soon
Seems Ireland & the Irish are piling unnecessary pressure and expectation on the team. It will have to be a World Cup of firsts for the Irish, as they'll have to win their first ever quarter final before they can win their first ever semi final...
They quarters we already beat both of them so your question is 😂
@@Irish780 I am not sure if these are statements from you?
When last did you beat France in France??@@Irish780
Lol they’re been number one but they haven’t talked about it??? 😂😂😂
Again?! Nothing learned from 2019? Nothing? Im sending a shipment of tissues with Gift of the Givers before the World Cup starts.
Media putting so much pressure on Ireland . It could be their undoing.
The fact that you will have teams like all blacks and sa on form come the wc could be irelands un doing 😂
Rugby australia just signed a 20 year old named joe sualii. On hes current trajectory he will dominate the world cup. He is that gifted it is almost laughable
He doesn't arrive until 2025.
Do some homework before making silly comments. Unless you meant 2027 world cup.
Muppet! He's not signed for this years RWC
The ground is littered with ex league players who didn't make it. Sbw almost did but was never 1st choice. And Brad Thorne is the only one I can think of that played 1st choice. Benji Marshall, tuivasa sheck, most aren't good enough
Don't discard Argentina - in 2022 (last year) they beat England at Twickenham & the AB's at Christchurch!
Can you imagine the furore if Argentina actually won the whole thing by beating out the favourites France and/or Ireland?
@@TheWildernessChannel That would have to be in the semi-finals though, because their paths (Argentina vs Ireland/France) don't cross in the pool stages or the QF's.
If Australia are knocked out then I am putting all my eggs in the Argentine basket...
Can't see any of the top 4 sides winning world cup. By the time either Ireland, saffa,abs,France get to the final there gonna be buggered.
the Irish will reach the semifinal of the RWC 2023
Australia are the dark horses, if they get their players back.
Discount The Springboks at your own peril
How many World Cups have Ireland won?
who discounted the boks? Answer: No one, besides some internet idiots.
Funny watching this now after seeing ABs destroy SA in rugby championship with excellent rugby. If the ABs carry that form into the World Cup I think Ireland and SA are in big trouble
Funny reading this now after the NZ - SA warm up
@@ballasgleek And now the humbling from the French. Fine wine, indeed. 🧐😚
Personally I think Ireland have peaked.
Can't see them beating France or SA. Hope they do though
Personally😂. What your actually saying is I hope Ireland get beating by one of the big teams..
You mean you hope they've peaked. Its becoming increasingly clear that this "peaked to early" theory isnt going to materialise.
@@cathalsheehan9596 no, pretty sure I know what I mean.
My belief is Ireland will come unstuck once they come up against teams who have been given all the same, if not similar advantages during the WC.
Once other teams have had that time with each other before the WC Ireland will come up against cohesive opposition who they can't bully.
Good luck.
@@dazeng4633 That makes no sense, that's what we call "clutching at straws". It isnt going to happen so you ought to just accept that as it will make it less painful during the RWC.
@@cathalsheehan9596 you're a strange one aren't you?
Do you think I'm Anti Ireland or something?
You're coming across massively arrogant.
High horse, long fall.
France, Nz, Ireland or RSA
Ireland looking brilliant… for now. But nothing matters come RWC. IMHO I think they are in for a big disappointment similar to ABs in 2019. Just saying
Wishful thinking, the evidence is suggesting something different.
Let’s see how you go in the World Cup.. don’t write off the southern hemisphere teams history tells us that the World Cup spends more time down here then up in the north..
All Blacks all the way!!!
Aus, France or Boks for win
Springboks always win worldcups as underdogs,ridding them off will be crucial mistake
Please somebody stop all this nonsense about us winning the world cup, it's not going to happen, getting out of the pool is touch and go and the prize for that is a date with new Zealand or France, sexton won't last the pace and byrne is not good enough, so having all this quality and depth is great but at 10 we're goosed if and when johnny gets injured, that's the big worry for me. A one off quarter final win is achieveable with 15 fully fit first choice players but it's inevitable that some will be missing through injury, here's hoping for the best.
Finally, an Irishman with some commonsense.
@stevenbissett alot of the comments here are pie in the sky , watch out for the other side of the draw and dare i say it the aussies for me could win this tournament, 4 so called big teams will skull each other in other side of the draw and 2 will be gone early, I think the pressure will get to France and if dupont gets an injury could be damaging,again hard to pick anyone other than the 3 southern hemisphere sides at knockout.
@@stevenbissett yeah he knows his place doesn’t he, he’s a good Paddy. How dare he have confidence in his country who’s playing the best rugby in the world.
IT’s attitude like yours that teams don’t win things, please don’t try speak for the Irish team, all this negativity is from your own life that your mirroring else where, let other people knock us, you dont do their job for them, have a bit of faith for fuck sake.☘️🇮🇪❤️
Ireland are the best side in the world so it isnt nonsense.
☘️☘️☘️👊☘️☘️☘️
Ireland will have best chance in a long time. However none of the top four teans have a good chance to win.
It us pretty even chances all round.
They are don't have the mental Ballance to win eventhough they are the best.they lose confidence in w. Cup
in order for Ireland to win their first world cup they need to win their first quarter-final, first semi-final and first final. Its not happening. You the Springboks who know how to build, know how and when to peak and have players and coaches who have been in that position, you have wallabies who have the olayers and have the coach who can get them to the final, you have the ABs who are always good at world cups and then france is hosting it and still need to prove they can overcome a choke.
Well they haven’t been building very well this entire year. They got beaten by an under strength Ireland team in November. Teams know how to beat South Africa. They have no plan B and look so predictable. Rassie and Nienaber have clearly run out of ideas and are struggling to change the ethos and system in the team. No team has ever won back to back world cups. South Africa won’t win this World Cup. It’ll go to either Ireland, France or the All Blacks. Australia could do well but I just don’t think the South Africans have shown in real promise in the last 2 years. Their clubs haven’t been great either. Ireland have the coaches, the talent and the strength in depth to compete at this World Cup and the entire nation is behind this team and no one is getting ahead of themselves. The players themselves seem very confident in their ability and have openly expressed that they are going to win this World Cup. They aren’t settling for anything less. I’ve seen you make negative comments about Ireland regularly too. It’s no surprise that you clearly don’t like us which means you are fearful of us. And you know it. I wouldn’t blame you either, Ireland are a terrific team and this word cup is going to be a spectacle! 🇮🇪☘️💪🏻

@@onskyk Exactly!
@@harryocallaghan8082 NZ won back to back in '11 and '15 [no team had ever won the cup and lost a pool match until SA did it in '19, so this can't do what hasn't been done before is garbage]
@@MrClean-ms4nx That was the most successful All Black era and team ever! This South African squad and team is no comparison to them.
With home advantage, it has to be france 😢😢
I thought they had already won the WC
To much pressure.
It's not that important whether Ireland win the World Cup or not. It would be positive for the game if someone other than the four previous winners took the title this time, and imperative that England do not; their brand of rugby and disgraceful attempts to buy the last tournament are toxic influences on the game as a whole. However, even if this Ireland team not go all the way, they will still deserve to be recognized as Ireland's greatest rugby team (so far).
South Africa 🏅🏅🏅 Australia 🏅🏅 new Zealand 🏅🏅🏅 England 🏅 Ireland pls France pls four more years
Don’t know what Frances excuse is
But Ireland is a small country where rugby is a fourth choice sport .
It’s a miracle we’re even as good as we are .
@@markc3258 Nothing special cricket is the second biggest sport in the world and would be lucky to make NZs top 5 sports yet NZ are the world champions something Ireland have never been in rugby win a world cup first then you can say you're good lol

THE FIRST GAME OF THE WORLD CUP , WILL ALSO BE THE LAST........
I honestly don’t know if Ireland will win it but for all the springbok supporters, I really don’t think your team has any chance of bringing it back for a double, they are a good team but I do see them getting knocked out by either nz or France in the quarters
I'm not saying the Boks will win it, but I'd never bet on Ireland winning it. They were favourites in the last WC and as usual, couldn't even get past the quarters. 2007 was the oy time the Boks were seen as one of the favourites, 95' and 2019, no one gave them a chance. There's a reason they have 3 WCs and played 2 less tournaments than the other top nations. Knockout rugby is what they do best. 1 quarterfinal, the rest all semis and finals. We will know soon enough though. About 100 days to go.
@@nox6885 Ireland were nowhere near being favourites for the 2019 WC, they were 14/1 and drifting around the time the WC started with the bookmakers. But I guess you'll stick with your alternative facts as they suit your narrative.
Ireland will unfortunately lose against South Africa and Scotland in the pool stages. 2316 Irish will die in Dublin soon after due to alcohol related issues.
Lose against Scotland! 😂😂😂
Wow, salty comment.
Meanwhile half a million South Africans will die because they don't have clean water
@@inBODwetrust13 and Europe will have WW3.

the only people harping on about ireland winning the world cup are the brits. ireland will win it when they have a piss easy run in like some other teams....
I take it your team was walloped by Ireland this year and you're a sore loser over it.
They had run ins to beat Argentina and Wales in previous quarter finals but bottled the whole thing
