Ended up a really disappointing game. Thought this would be a real close one.

Looking at their final group opponents, it would be genuinely astonishing if Ireland progressed.

Worst I’ve seen this world cup.

Performed slightly better than Thaler has as a video ref.

I like the little section of a Lebanese fans with flags and pom poms 

[Ullman]

Lebanon have played some lovely attacking rugby.

[Futtocks]

Ireland are falling apart now.

Disappointing, especially after their very watchable performance in the first round of group games.

[SydneyRoosters]

Bentley’s having a shocker

[Roy Haggerty]

Summed up for me early in 2nd half. Loose Irish pass went on the floor. Rather than jump on it and retain possession, Myler just tiptoed to it and toe-poked it forward where only Lebanon could get it. Just showed a real lack of commitment.

Will be 3 if France beat Samoa.

They won’t. 

[Damien]

Too many Irish players just haven't performed.

[Desert Skipper]

Jaxson Rahme and Robbie Mulhern are twins separated at birth. Or maybe they just share a stylist. It’s uncanny.

They have to play Australia 

Yep. Amazing to think we have a very high likelihood there will be the same number of Asian nations featuring in the Quarter Finals as there will be European.

This is really poor from the Irish, they have not lived up to there potential. I’m 90% sure Wales would beat them fairly comfortably.

They've let themselves down here as they are a much better side than they are showing here. They have fallen into the trap of the physical game and can't control feeling aggrieved that they have been rattled. It's a shame for them, as I think that seals their fate in the group stages.

If Wales play Ireland Tomorrow Wales win by by 10-20 easily.

Lebanon have been fantastic. Ireland have had a shocker. Discipline has been awful and game management terrible.

France have a high high likely hood of beating Samoa.

Lebanon are doing as much damage to Michael Cheika's appointments diary as they are to Ireland.

Your comments make me laugh sometimes

I think we should be expecting more from Myler. He seems mainly absent.
