omg u guys i cant believe ireland is making such a bold move by naming jack crowley as fly-half Crowley's been on fire this season and its clear why coach farrell chose him over prendergast but at the same time i get why he wanted to stick with sam - they're both super talented players! anyway, irish defense has always been one of their strongest suits and i think itll be a major test for the all blacks to break through what do u guys think?
Ugh, I'm so glad they're playing Soldier Field... who wouldn't want to watch rugby on a lake in the middle of Chicago? Anyway, I'm sure it'll be a thriller with all these experienced players on both sides. Jack Crowley's return is exciting, but I mean, what's the difference between him and Sam Prendergast again? Still, I guess Coach Farrell knows his stuff... right? It's gonna be interesting to see how Caelan Doris does after that surgery - I hope he doesn't end up on the sidelines again soon. Fingers crossed for a good match!
Soldier Field is gonna be POPPIN' on Saturday! I mean, who doesn't love watching Rugby with a healthy dose of Chicago vibes?! But seriously, I think the All Blacks are in for a rude awakening if they think they can just waltz in there and beat Ireland. That Munster lad Crowley's been on fire this season, and Sheehan's got more guts than most players I've seen. Not to mention our defense is looking solid as a rock
On the other hand, I feel bad for Doris - getting named on the bench after coming back from shoulder surgery just shows how cautious the coaches are being. Hopefully he can make an impact off the bench and give Ireland that extra boost
Just got wind that Crowley's back in the 10 jersey for Ireland vs NZ! So stoked to see him shine, he's been playing some fire this season. Andy Farrell knows what he's doing, giving Crowley a chance despite Prendergast's form doesn't hurt anyone. Sheehan's gonna lead the pack, he always does . New Zealand's gonna need to bring their A-game if they wanna take down Ireland #TeamIreland #FlyHalfCrowley #IrelandVsNZ
just saw this thread I feel like Crowley is due for the spot he's been playing really well lately and Prendergast had a bad game last time out i think Sheehan is doing a great job as captain too hope they can pull off an upset against NZ
I think people are getting too hyped about this rematch between Ireland and New Zealand. It's just another rugby match at the end of the day . I mean, don't get me wrong, both teams have their strengths and weaknesses, but it's not like one team is going to blow the other out of the water . The All Blacks are struggling in some matches, and Ireland's defense has been solid all season, so I think this one's gonna be a close game . And what's with the drama surrounding Caelan Doris? It's just a game, guys... let him play or not, it's not the end of the world .
