Rugby World Cup 2019



Just read this stat from an Irish rugby site. New Zealand conceded 14 penalties against Ireland, a high count, but Ireland failed to convert any of them in to points. Will New Zealand go as near the knuckle on tackles and rucks as last week, and will they hold up in the scrum? England will surely be more clinical than Ireland were.

We've conceded the 2nd most amount of pens in the wc
 
Having Dan Cole in the country results in us being +5 on the Penalty count straight away.

Should he ever be on the pitch when these are awarded against him, despite giving 7265 away, he still looks absolutely dumbfounded at the decision.

This, along with not letting them come flying out of the blocks. Ireland couldn't take advantage of the high penalty count because they were so far behind when they started getting awarded. A tight cagey game would be ideal for us tbh, frustrate them and take the points whenever available.
