Spot on, Mark. This game was won not by the tries, but by the defence, when Ireland repelled everything the Scots could throw at them in the first quarter. They were a busted flush after that.
As always we Irish do not boast or overblow our own importance. Did you not notice that despite all the "big talk" coming out of the Scottish camp there was little or no response from the Irish, all kept for the playing field, proving once again that "actions speak louder than words". So we will roll on to the next match with hope in our hearts and pride in our team. 🇮🇪 🇮🇪
What are you talking about man? You can’t trip someone on a rugby pitch!! Defo a yellow card. Sexton was right to get angry. And should have been a red for too for pushing Sheehan over the hoarding. Can’t believe the TMO said there was nothing to look at! That’s a pure scumbag move.
Your work is appreciated. As a South African I see Ireland as a massive juggernaut. Looking forward to the game between All Blacks and the Irish. New Zealand have had some shaky form coming into my this tournament. If the All Blacks don't stop the juggernaut now... Whoever wins this quarter final will probably go all the way to the final. Also not sure South Africa get past France. Gonna be tough to beat Ireland or New Zealand in the final. Gonna be a monster team that takes the world cup home this year.
Very accurate. I think SA will win that game just because they way they play is almost the perfect game plan to beat the French. Great scramble defense and good kick chance. Hard to counter french flare though so anything could happen. Bad luck for the scots today, I think they're the team most hard done by this dodgey draw if they were on the other side they would probably get to the semis. Backing my boys to lift the trophy this year 🇮🇪🇮🇪
So impressed with that Irish defence. They’re a very tough nut to crack! Old Foster goes on about the expansive game this and that. If he thinks the quarter final against Ireland is going to be this running rugby try fest a la Super Rugby Pacific he’s delusional. Defences win World Cups and Ireland along with possibly the Boks have the best defences. Personally I get way more satisfaction watching a tough, uncompromising test match like Ireland v SA to a blowout NZ - Italy no defence match.
Great analysis, but the reality is that this game was "OVER" on 33', long before Sexton went off, and Ireland cleared their bench. Ireland toyed with them after that like a cat playing with a mouse before delivering the fatal blow, at will.
You don’t trip someone on a rugby pitch. Sexton was well within his rights to shove him. And a yellow is almost guaranteed for a trip unless there serious doubt about it being intentional. This one was clear cut and the yellow was 100% correct.
I think Scotland deserved to play in the quoter finals and would have had they been in another pool. It is a real pity that pool B had two other very strong teams!
Love Scotland, damn shame they ended up in our group. Correct Scotland are way better than England or Wales. They'll make a semi no doubt or not. Argentina and Fiji more than a match for them.
I would have broke your arm for the win, never expected to go so well. A big take away from the game for me was Ireland's flexibility JGP playing on the wing and winning a break down
Hmm... I'm not sure Ireland are that flexible. They seem to play in well organized patterns, once Scotland between became less regular with their play then Ireland seemed to struggle.
@@barneyboy2008 the game result was beyond doubt by the time Scotland scored any points. I agree that Ireland play organised patterns and by flexible I am talking about how ever the injuries Ireland find a way
@barneyboy2008 Look at the difference in play styles between the South Africa game and the Scotland one. Ireland were able to play a forward led, risk averse game plan against the Boks of all people and won Today they were able to open up Scotland quite regularly with their phase shapes The big thing for me as to why the cohesion dropped off yesterday was we emptied the bench almost all at one around the 50 minute mark, then injuries to both wings.
@@barneyboy2008 That's what I've been saying. Ireland plays a predictable pattern. They aren't flexible. It's just a matter of time that the other top teams start dismantling the Irish play pattern.
Oh hang on a minute you seem to be blaming Irish players for the scuffle that happened in the game. Remember is was a Scottish player who did the dumbest thing I've ever seen in a game of this importance. Trying to trip a player up should have been a yellow and the referee was right to send him off. The player who shoved the Irish player over the advertising board should have got a red but wasn't given any punishment at all. This was all down to Scotland's frustration in not being able to crack Ireland's defenses and allowing Ireland to score tries almost at will. Don't blame the Irish for that.
Fact Check........Hey mate, I didn't "blame" the Irish at all, all I said was it was ALL unnecessary reactions, let the ref do his job and get on with it...............context....I in no way approved of the trip of Sexton.
@@insiderugbywithmarkI disagree, Sexton had to push back. You have to face up to somebody tripping you up. The way you described Sextons reaction was totally over the top. O'Mahony's reaction wasn't any different to many other players on both sides. You didn't comment on Finn Russell's part.
@@barneyboy2008 yes agreed. But almost every game has something doesn’t it? I am an Ireland fan and i have seen more than my fair share of missed reffing moments. Schumann shoved Sheehan over a hoarding. Yellow card all day. Should have been down to 13. TMO said nothing to see. How about that one? Scotland were neutered in attack. Ireland’s defense was absolute. Duhan who? his name wasn’t mentioned until the 50th minute. Utterly neutered!!
@@barneyboy2008 Scottish player bit on the dumpy runner and ran into him not the other way around tmo would have seen it and understood the legality no issue!
There is an air of destiny to this Irish side. The AB can beat them but the stars will need to align and they will have to play like they haven’t played in the last 7 years. It is time for the stellar performance. Pressure on Ireland more than on us. We have been written off months ago and if we lose there will be no shame in it. This Irish team is extraordinary. Anyway, paid the insurance. All in on Ireland at the TAB
@@Orca322 But that was 2019, different Ireland team now, the Ireland team in 2019 had a poor form run in to the W/C were beaten by Japan, so no surprise that team got hammered, but as I said, that was then, this is now, no real comparison. Its a 50/50 game, anything could happen.
@@Trajan2401in order to choke you have to be expected to win, Ireland only choked in 2011 and 2015 because they were expected to win the other quarters they were expected to lose so maybe this is third time lucky😉
You're correct. There were things going on in the scuffle. 100%! But anyone who tries to trip a player gets a minimum of yellow. This is not a debatey thing. It's minimum of a yellow.
So Mark.... think you'll be draggin up my post from weeks ago and Ireland building and using the first 2 games, we are hitting form now... as I said. Come 1/4er we should be there or there abouts
Good on you for mentioning Jamie Richie and Blair Kinghorn's gutted reactions at being injured off in the game because, even as an Irish supporter, I felt for those guys who have played out of their skins for Scotland.
You got it right. Four tries in the first half, bonus point, that's all Ireland needed, but they were never going to stop there. There should have been a red card when the handbags were going on when the Scot pushed the Irish player over the advertising hoarding, that was way over the top (forgive the pun) and was very dangerous and the foot trip was deliberate and mean spirited and was more like a stamp. Apart from the handbags (these two teams don't like each other, it's historic, you might not know that Mark. Celtic nations have a habit of being tribal. Comes in handy sometimes but that's why it took us so long to get England out of our country, there is a connection to history in all this. But Ireland were great and Scotland Ireland and South Africa should not have been in the same group. Everyone apart from the fools that made the draw 3 years ago the groups were totally topsy turvy making Ireland play their best team for every game and you can see the injuries are there. New Zealand lost to France but we all knew who was coming out of that group. Look at England, boring England, they could get to al final and were qualified before playing Samoa and should have lost that game. The sickening part of all this is two of the top four will be gone after the quarter finals and that is a disgrace and the rugby Board should be, by the pundits, reminded of their stupidity over and over for its rarely mentioned at all. A long comment, but that fact, two of Ireland, SA, The All Blacks, France will be gone after the quarter finals and that makes the rest of the tournament null and void.
Great analysis as always Mark. The match was won and lost in the second quarter. Ireland deliberately targeted Huw Jones in the 13 channel and, to a lesser extent, Darcy Graham. I can't help but feel that Scotland bottled both matches - against ZA and IE. Scotland had 3 years to prepare for these matches - it's not many team sports that give you three years to prepare 😊😊 Great to see Peter O'Mahony gain his 100th cap - what a player he is and has been for Ireland.
Irishman here, I think this was the result we expected but when Irelands substitutions were done the quality of play definitely dropped. Something I’d be concerned about moving forward. Crowley was great and I agree we have great depth, but having stuck with a consistent staring 15 for the first 4 games I’d have some minor concerns about the game-readiness of some of our bench.. still optimistic, come on you boys in green!
There was a centre on one wing and a scrum half on the other. Between that and the big score already racked up, a couple of late consolation tries scored out wide isn’t the end of the world.
@@Trajan2401 Ireland were so far ahead, they took foot of pedal, lost concentration, took pity on Scotland, and decided to give them a small bit of consolation. Ireland took care of kiwi's in in kiwi land last year, they'll respect the kiwi's, you have to because of their heritage in rugby, but Ireland won't fear them, its a 50/50 game, anything could happen.
Thanks Mark for another well presented video. Although I am a bokke supporter, I enjoyed the game, just a pity for some childish incidents which almost spoiled a good game of rugby. It was good to see the Irish used the game to improve their defense. It might come in handy for them as the real test for their ability to end on tops in this tournament, starts next week. Just hope there wont be any childish plays or tricks during water breaks . Thanks again.
Agree. Best Irish team ever but as usual will bottle it in the quarters. Going home. Will miss the team but not the section of arrogant fans who post - short memories- remember not so long ago the team was awful. Enjoy your last WC weekend for 4 years.
Great analysis and yes I agree ... SA shut out Russell whereas Ireland (who may have been expected to do the same) gave Russell room but nullified Van de Merwe and co. Great game!
Do u not think that Ireland are sticking to their gameplay and not changing the way they play and its the opposing teams inability to deal with it that is the problem????
Scots were abject / let's call a spade a spade. Great to get the win but storm coming next week in form of the ABs. I think Ireland can win QF but if they do they're gonna earn it, that's for sure.
This Ireland win was like the All Blacks last week winning against Namibia, without the high score. Scotland were pathetic and not a gauge of anything other than an inability to crack the Irish defense. The quarter final will be the real test for Ireland and the All Blacks.
Good analysis Mark. In the lead up to every Ireland v Scotland match, the Scottish camp says they're going to beat Ireland.....no comment. Whats the feeling for New Zealanders about facing Ireland next week? In Ireland there seems to be a general feeling of confidence that we can win, but that we won't start counting chickens yet. New Zealand are amazing, and are not to be taken lightly. However, I think Ireland will be looking for payback after losing in the 2019 quarter final to New Zealand.
@@ntlearning Up until this morning I was more confident than I am now. The speculation is that, Hansen and Ryan are most likely going home with injury. There's a few more injuries too and not sure if they can play next week. It could be New Zealand's victory. As much as we like winning against the All Blacks, there's no shame in losing to them. Let's see how it goes. Best of luck
Good analysis Mark. As an IRL fan, I didn't quite expect us to run in so many points in the first half tbh. Thought it would have been a tougher tussle up front. SCO had a great period in the first qtr when they generated so many phases. But, as with SA game , they couldn't break the Irish defense. Perhaps their tactics didn't match the opposition they were facing, and more chips and grubbers would have pierced the Irish defense. For me, the game turned then, all that effort from the Scots, but no scores. Your intensity point was well made. Scotland didn't have the same intensity after their multi phases failed to yield a score. So, NZ vs IRL in the QF. It's a toss up IMO. NZ have been improving by leaps and bounds in the competition. Confidence seems up too. Will be hard to beat. Duh, it's always hard to beat NZ😅. Glad you're enjoying beautiful Cancun .
Ireland are coming into this battle hardened that game against south africa was exactly what was needed. I think new zealand need there best perfermonce since 2015 to win this game
I predicted a 2 try win (14 points) for Ireland . Realistically , not a single Scottish player would get into Irish team . I would take Sexton over Russell any day. Honestly , Russell was busted flush yesterday and was like deer in headlights in last 20 with missed touches and aimless kicks. Finn, a number 10 needs to do the basics before all the flash Tik Tok plays .
Irish run very sophisticated screens and shepherding lines. The purpose is not so much to sell a dummy, but to retard the defense. I find these types of plays incredibly unsporting and should be banned or highly scrutinized. Off course they ate precise, but their attacking /retarding screen structure allows that precision and flow. IMO, world rugby should start looking into this. If a screen formation is used those players should retreat immediately so as not to obstruct the defense in stead of gently meandering through.
Good report. However with the two Scottish forced subs in the first half, this was matched by Hansen going off from the same incident, then Lowe was off. Ringrose and J Gibson Park had to switch to cover these two players, it was very much worth a mention. Hansen and Lowe are huge players for Ireland. Regarding Peter O'Mahony "mouthing off" and Sexton "mouthing" You didn't mention Pierre Schoeman pushing Sheehan over the barrier. Scotland started that because they were frustrated, they rushed in on Sexton. It was handbags, but you put slant on it in my opinion. It was O'Mahonys 100 cap, he played well and was probably tired of listening to Kinghorn and Townsend all week. I agree that the yellow was harsh, but he took one for the team as Schoeman deserved it more. Sexton should not have reacted the way he did either. There was no real fight back from Scotland. They were held scoreless for 64 minutes. The second half is not 60-80 minutes!! Ireland won the game early, they didn't just substitute Sexton, they also took off O'Mahony, Furlong, Porter and Sheehan at the same time, again worth a mention. The game was won, bonus point secured, top of the group and most importantly Ireland have avoided France. Thanks for the report. I enjoy your content. I suspect O'Mahony will be mouthing at some of the NZ players next week too!!!
Ireland put nothing into the breakdowns, so it was just a green wall. I just wish Scotland played more second phase play and get those offloads away get in behind the Irish defence then maybe they'd be more threatening
Pure world rugby travesty that 2 top teams will be gone next weekend and we will have to suffer the pure dross of england playing puke rugby and barely beating samoa,at least wales have come good and are way better than england,maybe fiji might disrupt things but either way whst a shameful shambles from world rugby
This is the real injustice/stupidity of the draw. One thing to look forward to, after next week we won't have to hear about Scotland being number 5 in the world. Come on the NH.
😂😂The game was over by 45’ , ireland cleared the bench and even had a scrum half on the wing when Scotland scored, Scotland were absolutely rubbish. Ireland already had the job done.
The All Blacks will have to play the game of their careers and then some. Foster must get his Selection spot on physically praying Lomax is right and apart from the loose trio the bench so all important right now the Irish turnover is superior as is their Defense we gotta summit to climb no doubt.
That's exactly what bols said before we beat them and also many Scots fans and players before we beat them. NZ won't have anywhere near the support in the stadium either
NZ had one tough game which they lost badly.. they’ve played 3 easy games and yet they let Italy take 17 points from them. Chances are NZ are going home.. Ireland are way too tough and clinical to let an average NZ team win.
This match has shown how strong and great is #springboks 😁 🇿🇦 . The zombie nation played so well, but in the last 20 minutes of the match, a gassed-out Scotland displayed a good game and 2 tries. ITV commentators, moronic comments !!!, they keep consistency. So if you have to compare SAvSCOT VS IREvSCOT which team got a better performance vs Scotland and how was Scotland performance in each match?
God bless the Irish , may the wind be always at their backs and may the road rise to meet them,, Eire Abu
Spot on, Mark. This game was won not by the tries, but by the defence, when Ireland repelled everything the Scots could throw at them in the first quarter. They were a busted flush after that.

What the Irish do, is what is called being professional.
We are great at being humble 😊
yeah we are definitely the most humble nation in the world. probably ever
Roll on Ireland let’s win the next one boys!!
We should get both the parachutes. 😁
What are you talking about man? You can’t trip someone on a rugby pitch!! Defo a yellow card. Sexton was right to get angry. And should have been a red for too for pushing Sheehan over the hoarding. Can’t believe the TMO said there was nothing to look at! That’s a pure scumbag move.
Your work is appreciated.
As a South African I see Ireland as a massive juggernaut.
Looking forward to the game between All Blacks and the Irish.
New Zealand have had some shaky form coming into my this tournament.
If the All Blacks don't stop the juggernaut now...
Whoever wins this quarter final will probably go all the way to the final.
Also not sure South Africa get past France.
Gonna be tough to beat Ireland or New Zealand in the final.
Gonna be a monster team that takes the world cup home this year.
Very accurate. I think SA will win that game just because they way they play is almost the perfect game plan to beat the French. Great scramble defense and good kick chance.

Good analysis Mark.
In the lead up to every Ireland v Scotland match, the Scottish camp says they're going to beat Ireland.....no comment.
Whats the feeling for New Zealanders about facing Ireland next week?
In Ireland there seems to be a general feeling of confidence that we can win, but that we won't start counting chickens yet. New Zealand are amazing, and are not to be taken lightly.
However, I think Ireland will be looking for payback after losing in the 2019 quarter final to New Zealand.
It's not our best team. Ireland are better. If you lose to us, that would be a shame. I hope you guys do it. I've been unhappy with this coach.
@@ntlearning Up until this morning I was more confident than I am now. The speculation is that, Hansen and Ryan are most likely going home with injury. There's a few more injuries too and not sure if they can play next week. It could be New Zealand's victory. As much as we like winning against the All Blacks, there's no shame in losing to them. Let's see how it goes. Best of luck
What just happend ah ireland are just dame good
They were.....Thanks for the comment
Good analysis Mark. As an IRL fan, I didn't quite expect us to run in so many points in the first half tbh. Thought it would have been a tougher tussle up front. SCO had a great period in the first qtr when they generated so many phases. But, as with SA game , they couldn't break the Irish defense. Perhaps their tactics didn't match the opposition they were facing, and more chips and grubbers would have pierced the Irish defense. For me, the game turned then, all that effort from the Scots, but no scores. Your intensity point was well made. Scotland didn't have the same intensity after their multi phases failed to yield a score.
So, NZ vs IRL in the QF. It's a toss up IMO. NZ have been improving by leaps and bounds in the competition. Confidence seems up too. Will be hard to beat. Duh, it's always hard to beat NZ😅.
Glad you're enjoying beautiful Cancun .
Also this is the first time NZ have been at full strength since Mt Smart no injuries no bans De Groots ban is over now
Ireland are coming into this battle hardened that game against south africa was exactly what was needed. I think new zealand need there best perfermonce since 2015 to win this game
Thanks Mark, love your uploads 🏉 Irish fan 🏆Hard luck week! 🏆🏆🏉
I predicted a 2 try win (14 points) for Ireland . Realistically , not a single Scottish player would get into Irish team . I would take Sexton over Russell any day. Honestly , Russell was busted flush yesterday and was like deer in headlights in last 20 with missed touches and aimless kicks. Finn, a number 10 needs to do the basics before all the flash Tik Tok plays .
Agreed
Cant believe your opinion about sexton and blaming Ireland you need gladses
That would be "glasses" and I have some already thanks.
Good man Mark!
anyone mention that not long ago the springboks were mocked for winning from defence?
always the same with innovation that matters.
There should have been another Scot with 🟡 card, Russell ego writing cheques his body can’t cash, Irish bench cleared out in 50th minute
Lowe scored the first try, not ringrose
Thanks for keeping me on my toes, yes indeed, ringrose passed to lowe thats what I meant.
I told you, they were the best
As many did, thanks for the comment
So they better bring their A game on come Quarter final time.
I have followed your channel recently but that ends today! Cynical trip deserves a reaction no? Or only if it happens to a kiwi?
Committed follower then :-) , hey either way, enjoy the rugby, thats what it's all about.
Don't be so butthurt, yes it deserved a card but don't be so put out if someone disagrees🤦
Irish run very sophisticated screens and shepherding lines. The purpose is not so much to sell a dummy, but to retard the defense. I find these types of plays incredibly unsporting and should be banned or highly scrutinized. Off course they ate precise, but their attacking /retarding screen structure allows that precision and flow. IMO, world rugby should start looking into this. If a screen formation is used those players should retreat immediately so as not to obstruct the defense in stead of gently meandering through.
Thanks for your comment, interesting. Interested what you make of my Quarterfinal Preview video just posted, Ire v NZ.
Good report. However with the two Scottish forced subs in the first half, this was matched by Hansen going off from the same incident, then Lowe was off.
Ringrose and J Gibson Park had to switch to cover these two players, it was very much worth a mention.
Hansen and Lowe are huge players for Ireland.
Regarding Peter O'Mahony "mouthing off" and Sexton "mouthing"
You didn't mention Pierre Schoeman pushing Sheehan over the barrier.
Scotland started that because they were frustrated, they rushed in on Sexton. It was handbags, but you put slant on it in my opinion.
It was O'Mahonys 100 cap, he played well and was probably tired of listening to Kinghorn and Townsend all week.
I agree that the yellow was harsh, but he took one for the team as Schoeman deserved it more. Sexton should not have reacted the way he did either.
There was no real fight back from Scotland. They were held scoreless for 64 minutes. The second half is not 60-80 minutes!!
Ireland won the game early, they didn't just substitute Sexton, they also took off O'Mahony, Furlong, Porter and Sheehan at the same time, again worth a mention.
The game was won, bonus point secured, top of the group and most importantly Ireland have avoided France.
Thanks for the report. I enjoy your content.
I suspect O'Mahony will be mouthing at some of the NZ players next week too!!!
Thanks for your comment, a good write up.
Ireland put nothing into the breakdowns, so it was just a green wall.
I just wish Scotland played more second phase play and get those offloads away get in behind the Irish defence then maybe they'd be more threatening
Lowe scored the first try
Yes got it. Thanks......
Defence win games
Most of the time, yes.
Pure world rugby travesty that 2 top teams will be gone next weekend and we will have to suffer the pure dross of england playing puke rugby and barely beating samoa,at least wales have come good and are way better than england,maybe fiji might disrupt things but either way whst a shameful shambles from world rugby
Or you could look it from this point of view....we get to have an absolute cracker of a weekend of rugby......Thanks for the comment
This is the real injustice/stupidity of the draw. One thing to look forward to, after next week we won't have to hear about Scotland being number 5 in the world. Come on the NH.
😂😂The game was over by 45’ , ireland cleared the bench and even had a scrum half on the wing when Scotland scored, Scotland were absolutely rubbish. Ireland already had the job done.
Thanks for the comment
The All Blacks will have to play the game of their careers and then some. Foster must get his Selection spot on physically praying Lomax is right and apart from the loose trio the bench so all important right now the Irish turnover is superior as is their Defense we gotta summit to climb no doubt.
Scotland are easy to beat. They nearly always lose.
Thanks for sharing
NZ gonna send them home... Sorry
That's exactly what bols said before we beat them and also many Scots fans and players before we beat them. NZ won't have anywhere near the support in the stadium either
NZ had one tough game which they lost badly.. they’ve played 3 easy games and yet they let Italy take 17 points from them. Chances are NZ are going home.. Ireland are way too tough and clinical to let an average NZ team win.
@@some_might_say Don't worry, our ABs are not the best team this time round. I see Ireland winning quite convincingly.
They might well do. It's the match Ireland have been preparing for, it will be a massive achievement if Ireland beat them.
Scotland were rubbish they made Ireland look good in the first half
Very easy say that lreland made them look that way🍀🍀💯
Just like Italy did NZ. Made them look good.
This match has shown how strong and great is #springboks 😁 🇿🇦 . The zombie nation played so well, but in the last 20 minutes of the match, a gassed-out Scotland displayed a good game and 2 tries. ITV commentators, moronic comments !!!, they keep consistency. So if you have to compare SAvSCOT VS IREvSCOT which team got a better performance vs Scotland and how was Scotland performance in each match?
Rubbish
ALL BLACKS ALL DAY !!!💪💪💪💪
Whatever you say dude, Whatever you say! The kiwi's have only played one good side,and were comfortably seen off by the hosts.
