When ? What did he say ? <| sep |> Thank you so much for this . I now have the greatest gift to give my buddy for Christmas . <| sep |> I haven ' t seen much overconfidence , do you mean on rrugbyunion ? I remember the perceived route to victory for Ireland in the WC was to top the group as Argentina were a more favourable opponent than NZ . But I also remember a loss of confidence among many before the QF because we were absolutely gutted by injury . Personally I don ' t see the Aussies as anything near an easy challenge for Ireland , but I do see an Irish squad which is well drilled and appears to be invested in JS ' s systems . I ' m confident in our preparation , but anticipating a hard fought contest which could easily go either way .
