Wow... Ireland taking control here.
What a try!
What a try!
Best Ireland have played in ages. They look the total package today
When have you ever seen NZ defend so poorly.
Maybe Ole was in for the week as a guest coach
What a kick from the 9!
AB’s are rattled.
Nz have been shocking,barely had any sustained attack
See those officials working together, using the angles they had, two way conversation to get to the right result?
If only football had the ability/technology to do something similar…

Two score lead, use your heads and manage the game/field position as best as you can.
The only thing is NZ can score from nothing and quickly…

Out of nowhere that’s what they can do.
Can’t believe that NZ kicked the 3 there considering how little ball they have had
He's gonna kick it from there?
Kick lad!
Oh yes he is! 
Kick it on….. kick that off the side of your boot towards the posts. Make NZ pick it up under pressure or maybe get a teammate win a foot race
Watching New Zealand lose is great
Great performance by Ireland but that’s some of the worst Rugby I have seen NZ play
Great win for Ireland. I wasn't sure they had it in them.
Fantastic Ireland.
Brilliant performance
Brilliant performance
Only caught the second half but that was savage.
So many handling errors from New Zealand. Ireland thoroughly deserved winners. Hope England-Australia is another good game, looking forward to watching Marcus Smith.
I am still shocked that after the disallowed try they decided to kick the 3 points. They had done nothing all game and this was their first time with any sustained possession. Also Ireland could have had a card if there was another penalty
That’s some result for Ireland.
Scotland game was ok, disappointing second half but we couldn’t deal with them without giving away those penalties. They’re not the type of side to kick for the corner when 3 is readily available. Then you find yourself out of the game in a flash.

What a fecking game of rugby. NZ dominated from start to finish.
Is it going to be red for the Ozzies?
EDIT: no, talking it down to yellow.

Australia’s discipline has been poor they are going to throw the game away if they carry on.
Not taking the injured hooker off with 5 to go has cost England 3 pts there.
Relative domination from England, should be much further ahead
This is such a strange game. England have been pretty dominant, had a man advantage for 20 minutes, yet only lead by 4 points.
Some dumb rugby from England today. Twice just let Australia pick the ball up out of rucks. Game should be put away but it's well in the balance here. Australia have been poor too.
This is over. Aus need two scores from here.
Scoreline reflects the play in the end, maybe a tad generous. If ever a game was having a 60m sprint from front rowers to seal it, it was this one.
Some great Rugby today, what a feast!
England now 26-25 head to head with Australia. The only northern nation to have a positive head to head against the 3 big southern teams?
That’s because we’re generally the strongest
Took me a moment. Feck you!
In other news, I crashed my car on the way home from the game. So my memory of being at the Aviva on such a historic night will be inextricably linked with hassle, stress and anxiety. FML.
Damn! Not badly I hope?
Reversed into someone in a fecking carpark. So no lives were ever at risk. Mashed the back of my car up. And did the same to the car I hit. All my fault. Just an admin pain in the hoop from here. And pain in the wallet when I renew my insurance.
Bollocks. Bit of a schoolboy error but at least you can say you were lost in a wave of delirium
