groupadeath

So no pressure on us, we're underdogs to get out of the group. Best squad since 1999, so it's a shame we're in the groupadeath, but jings it'd be great if we could "do something special".
It's the groupadeath for us because both Ireland and South Africa have our number. Bash the fuck out of us and we'll cave: we've done that so many times before, last world Cup being prime example.
And we can't just hope to beat one of Ireland/SA, we have to beat both to be sure of getting out of the groupadeath.
Can we do it?
Ireland are good. I mean really good. Beating them would be more blood and guts than we've shown for a long time.
South Africa, hard to tell with their opposition, but they look to be better than their usual one-dimensional stereotype.
I had hoped we'd give SA a hard time by being fitter and taking them out of their comfort zone, but I'm less confident now.
Nevertheless, I have a totally irrational belief that we'll do this. Anyone else share this?
BTW, got some sleep = no sleep = no sleep runs this deep = early days of a better nation
