[Rugby] Ireland's 21-6 defeat of Australia


Recommended Posts

Ahahahahaha

Saw that as well. What a defeat.

I go for two teams, being kiwi, All Blacks and any team playing against Australia.

Australians do hype themselves up so much its not funny, they win and its gracious and expected. They lose and its some other excuse other then their own lack of form and performance.

For crying out loud, they should just admit they suck right now, be gracious in defeat, praise the other team and be true professionals instead of bloody whingers and cry babies.

And one other thing, the media really does make things hard as well. If a player is having some bad form, he/she is grilled by the media which isnt good as well. Then of course the player is going to be more concerned and play even worse as their name is mentioned everywhere that he/she sucks.

Australians have to be gracious in defeat, respect their competition and public and media have to support their teams in good and bad times.

I can't say I've ever really heard of Irish soccer fans rioting...but if you can give me an example, go ahead.

Well a few years ago when England played Republic of Ireland in the republic the game was abandoned due to riots between Irish and English fans.

All teams have their hooligan element.

The Irish would do the same thing, if not worse like Soccer-riots

Are you retarded? is somthing hindering proper thinking in your brain? No Irish Fans have EVER been involved in such .. the irish are officially recognised by FIFA and UEFA as been great fans and actually been oficially comended for it..so please get your dam facts straight before you shout your ignorant mouth off.

Are you talking about Salvatore Schillaci form the 1990 world cup in Italy?

Yea, thats the lil maggot!lol, he was playin second division in italy when he got called up to the squad if i remember correct..

Ireland scored and the English fans did not like it, they tore up the place, now neither side is innocent, but it was the English supporters that did the most damage.

Brings back memories.

Get the facts straight there...There were only ENGLISH fans causing trouble. The english fans went and tore up seats and threw them down on the irish fans, they were giving nazi salutes and chanting garbage. Typical...the irish police did kick their chav arses, but there were no problems from the irish fans,,AT ALL!

hahahahahahahhaa :laugh: :laugh:

Don't take things so seriously :laugh: I wasn't bringing facts into it, I was just saying that all fanatics are the same. No worse than Apple vs. Microsoft.

Sore losers? What about those umpteen number of countries that apon loosing a soccer match have riots ect? Not to mention that other countries on the reverse are sore winners, infact I hardly see why you went out to see wha tthe Australian reactions would be on sporting forums.

Now I didnt watch the game but to be honest I'd imagine you would have deserved to win. I havent been a fan of the Aus Rugby team since the 90's in the Mcclain era with Jojh Eels as captain. Were an ok team but nothing better than "ok". Totally inconsitant performance and no real discipline. And by discipline I dont mean actually starting fights but more that whenever I watch Australia they are very quick to loose possession of the ball be it kicking the ball too often or general handling issues. They just arent that great a team.

So with that in mind gongrats to Ireland. I'm sure they deserved the win. With a score deficiet of 24-5 or whetever then its clear that the game was lost over more than 1 or 2 poor decisions if there were infact any.

edit: actually if you are going to be making generalisation on Australia being poor sports you should be firstly lookinbg at our reactions over more than a single game and secondly over more sports. Your claim as it stands is pretty baseless if all the research you did was a few forum posts the following day

hahahahahahahhaa Don't take things so seriously I wasn't bringing facts into it, I was just saying that all fanatics are the same.

OK :/ You just hit the ol' irish sensitive spot..football violence is a distinctly english quality, we like to disassociate ourselves from that.

Sore losers? What about those umpteen number of countries that apon loosing a soccer match have riots ect?

These dirtbags dont do to see the game.They are intent on fighting before the game ever started.

I would have loved to be a cop at the match against england in 1995...love to see that ginger prick near the end of the video bleeding from the head.

Yeah. I think you will find Australia arent that bad to be honest. It's only really football that attracts this and even then only Rugby Union. When the League team lost the other week to England the criticism fell not on the Umpire but on the teams lack of effort and discipline. Really I think this is something associated with Rugby Union and maybe a small bit with cricket but even thats not so bad and while I know it sounds a bit stuck up to say it we do dominate in that sport and theres alot of people here that while not liking Aus Loose dont get upset overly much as it usually is a great game if its one Aus comes out second best in.

I don't think we are the best at any sport? I rarely hear of Australia wining anything to be honest (other then the Socceroos and Cricket) Still, I guess you could say we are a pack of whiners, look what happened at the G20 summit in Melbourne the other day, a complete disgrace :( Australia will probably be banned for future G20 summits cause of that now. Considering we are regarded as been laid back people, you'd think we'd take losing in a more dignified manner..oh well can't live up to all the stereotypes :p

You have got to be kidding. For a start the stuff that happened at G20 would have happened everywhere else in the world.

If you haven't heard of Australia winning anything you must have been living under a rock.

Aussies have won plenty of things. And have some of the best sports people in the world.

Golf - Adam Scott won tournaments this year and is now ranked number 4 in the world. Geoff Ogilvy won the U.S. Open Championship this year.

Tennis - Leyton Hewitt has won Wimbledon and the US Open. The Woodies will go down as the best doubles team in Tennis history.

Hockey - Both the men?s and women?s teams have won gold medals at the Olympics and been World Champions.

Swimming - The best women swimmers at the moment are Aussies. The guy that just retired today will go down as Australia?s best ever swimmer and one of the world?s best. Ian Thorpe I'm talking about.

Cricket - Australia has been the best cricket team in both forms of the game for years. The best cricket player of all time is an Aussie. That would be Sir Don Bradman. And what about Shane Warne?? Might do stupid stuff from time to time but is the best bowler to play the game.

Rugby League and Union ? Both teams have been World Champions.

Cycling ? Robbie McEwen won yellow jerseys at this years Tour de France .

What have the Australian scoccer team won?? They make the World Cup for the first time in 20 odd years and they are the best sports team to come out of Australian?? Give me a break.

Do you want me to go on?? I can name Layne Beachly, she has won 7-8 World Surfing Championships. Anymore??

I edited the thread title to make it sound less like flame-bait.

Are we talking about Cricket? The first post didn't say and things might have gone off-topic along the line.

It's Rugby!

I was lost for a second there, because 21-6 in Cricket is a terrible score! Normally cricket matches go past the 100 mark atleast.

Someone went on about Cricket on the first page.

    • Good, because the nonstop chattering from the voices in her head made me quit the second game.
    • This new cabinet design lets you run AMD, Intel, and Nvidia PCs inside one case by Sayan Sen At Computex 2026 earlier this month, AMD announced a couple of new X3D processors for both sockets AM4 and AM5 as it confirmed the support extension of the latter till 2029. And although Intel didn't unveil any new desktop chips, the company's Core Ultra 200S Plus series is relatively new too. Let's say though that you want the best of both worlds simultaneously, and instead of running two different systems, you can have both running together side-by-side, or rather on top of one another. That's exactly what Thermaltake's CAPO X dual system is made for doing. While it's not exactly mandatory to run AMD with Intel, or vice versa, you get the idea. As you can see in the render above, it is essentially like a double-decker PC case that is capable of holding two microATX (mATX) motherboards. Even running just one discrete graphics card in a PC can get toasty, so you may be wondering how well the cooling is designed on the CAPO X, Thermaltake has confirmed, as is evident from the marketing promo image above, that the case supports up to two 360 mm AIO liquid coolers. 420mm is not supported. In total there is room for 13 120mm case fans. In terms of I/O (input/output) options for the two systems, there are naturally two places for those ports, one at the top and one at the very bottom of the chassis in the front panel. In terms of use cases, there are many possibilities. Thermaltake itself, for example, highlights how one system can be your main PC while the other could be the AI agent PC. Another example given is how it can be used to stream and game simultaneously with dedicated systems instead of hogging one with the entire load. Nothing regarding pricing or availability was said.

    • There might be some passive design improvements (cooling, etc), but I doubt they'd change the core performance spec of the hardware mid-generation when they've already got a new console in development.
    • State of Decay 3 is out in 2027, reveals Plague Nests with new co-op gameplay trailer by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe A few months ago, Undead Labs broke its silence about the third entry in the State of Decay series since its announcement in 2020. Today, the studio had a brand-new trailer to reveal at the Xbox Games Showcase, finally giving players a look at the Unreal Engine 5-powered title. A broad 2027 release window is now attached to State of Decay 3 too. The studio confirmed that every scene seen in the gameplay trailer (except for the studio logo) released today is from the game with no cinematic footage. "The quality bar of the moment-to-moment experience is higher than anything we’ve achieved in Undead Labs’ history," says the studio. "State of Decay 3 is being built in Unreal Engine 5, and we’re creating better quality versions of what makes our game the survival sandbox it is, and the combat experience is really, really important to us, and I think you can see it coming through in this trailer." One new aspect of this upcoming entry is the Plague Nests. These are supposed to be dynamic, dungeon‑like enemy hubs with varied “personas” that change tactics each time one appears on a map. These areas will have the best loot in the game for players brave enough to tackle them. The combat system is being overhauled too, letting players do quick and power attacks depending on the situation. This isn't just on the player's side though, as zombies themselves now have multiple new types of behaviors depending on how fresh or decayed they are. "All of these play very differently, especially as you start getting outnumbered or when you’re making noise and running around and trying to save your rear end or the rear end of your friend next to you," adds the developer. Of course, settlement building and community management are massive parts of this third entry too. These are being further expanded with the cooperative focus, giving players much more freedom for playing together than in State of Decay 2. Players will even be able to split up and build settlements in different areas of the same map with different goals. Undead Labs confirmed that playtests are already ongoing for the title, and interested players can sign up to participate by heading over here once more slots open up ahead of the full release. State of Decay 3 is coming out on PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Game Pass sometime in 2027.
