If only I had checked the score. Knew there was a game on Friday, forgot to check the kick off time.

Shhh...Don't worry do what I did and go back and change it. No one will notice.....

Nope... didnt read other predictions till I posted mine, as not to be swayed... We have to win soon, and a couple of points is all it needs.... Fact is my head is telling me All Blacks by 2 scores (converted ones that is - 14 Sad

), but sticking to my heart... C'mon WALES...

Just a stat that may influence some predictions. Ireland have won v Australia on 9 occasions. On all but one of those occasions Ireland have limited Australia to a single figure score.

The one exception was Ireland's famous 27-12 win Australia in 1979.

Interestingly of the 21 times Ireland has lost they have all but two times lost with double figures scores in relatively more high scoring games.

by Cyril Thu 20 Nov 2014, 10:52 am

Agreed, Guns. I think the game will be a similar score to last year.

Cyril wrote:Agreed, Guns. I think the game will be a similar score to last year.

Possibly but my gut feeling is that it will be a 18-7 win for Ireland. You heard it here first Cyril. If you lay a bet in the bookies on that I want half, ok?

by **Pal Joey** Thu 20 Nov 2014, 11:01 am

Yeah, so do I Cyril.

It may surprise some that Ireland has beaten the Wallabies only 3 times since that match in 1979.

In the corresponding 25 year period the Wallabies have won 18 and there was the draw in 2009.

I'll still back our blokes to pull this one off. I'll be very surprised if they get held to 7 points and don't get at least 2 or 3 shots at penalty goals.

Oh we're working on you, Bilt. Wink

That's down one from you're previous stab at it. But you're still not factoring in the red for Folau in the 36th minute. It's gonna happen.

4 times plus one draw.

If you look at games in Dublin or neutral venues in the last 10 years:

Australia 2 wins Ireland 2 wins plus one draw.

I think that is a more relevant stat for this match.

Ignore them, Biltong. Go with your gut feeling. We know we are right.

No, only 3 since 1979, germs.

Don't worry mate, these boys can't break the conviction of my belief.

Did you see what I did there?

Always back your convictions, chum.

Take the ball with the chain... and go for it!

I also have that feeling the Boks will put on a scintillating show for us all.
I reckon we could have some decent sized thrashings. NZ especially.
Probably overdid the England-Samoa one though. I hope that is a good close one too but I'll stick with what I've got.

Well, I need to make up some points as my first two weeks went south very quickly.

Interesting how some people think there's going to be a 30+ point swing between last year's Ireland/Aus game and the one this weekend.

by asoreleftshoulder Thu 20 Nov 2014, 1:25 pm

Yep I'll be disappointed if we don't win by at least 8.Circumstances have changed hugely for both teams since last year.

why not? There was a 18 point swing in the Ireland SA game.

Its fair to say the game v Oz last time round was an anomoly. This time round they have the new coach and ours is settled. The logic is there for an Ireland win.

Well, the SA/Ire game was certainly that this year.

Well we'll just have to wait and see on that one.Ireland got thumped by Oz last year but since then have only lost 2 matches by 3 points or less each time.That's what makes the Oz match last year an anomaly,if Ireland keep playing and winning against top quality teams then the win against S.A. won't have been an anomaly.

Not if you consider Ireland have won 4 of their last 6 games v SA. The two lossed were by 2 and 4 points while the wins are usually by more than a score. Not that much an anomoly.
