Rugby is a young man’s game, can we learn this fecking time and cut players past 32
The mighty Ireland beaten! Well done NZ. Thoroughly deserved, despite Wayne Barnes doing his best to keep fecking them over.
An absolute all time World Cup classic that. Deserved to have been the semi-final.
Same old story

What a game. AB’s were up for it.
New Zealand were amazing to be fair. Writing was on the wall when Ireland went 0-3 with New Zealand down to 14.
Even a final, yeah
fixed
Nah, Australia in 1991.
Can't believe its the same NZ team we saw on opening night against France. To play like this against the number one team in the world a man down for 20 minutes too is just astounding.
This is Ireland's best ever team, and the weakest ABs team in forever. It's amazing how they can still just turn it on like that. Watch out for the next great AB generation.
Savea is a f’n animal
The margins are tight between the top teams. You cannot give each other a 13 point headstart - its too much to overcome. I was reading an article as well about how Ireland have started poorly all of the last times in the quarter finals, which is what happened tonight again.
Missed opportunity i feel for ireland because i think we are better than New Zealand at present. Sexton retiring now so a big loss.

Commiserations Pogue. NZ have gone under the radar so far.
That game will be the game of the tournament no doubt.
We'll have to carry the hopes of all the home nations.
New Zealand deserved it. 100%.
Need to revise the draw though. It shouldn't be done 3 years before. The best 4 teams are in one half of the draw.
Hopefully that's addressed.
Anyway, what a match. Ireland were excellent, New Zealand were better. Great game.

Sexton’s retired now. Glasgow handshakes all round. “Ban this, you mothers!”[points at his penis]
I'm so ill.
They were at their best and they needed to be. Not much consolidation for us though. 8 qf defeats.
I’ll be stunned if any game comes close to topping that. That was rugby at its very very best.
Amen. Draw should be done like the football world cup. Close to the tournament date. These two should have never met this early. Same with France and SA.
2 cards aside, agreed. Never write this bunch off. Being an underdog probably “suited” them. Weirdly.
quite glad Wales lost now after watching that
feck me they'd put 50 points on us

Ireland gave it socks at least. It didn't come off but they fought til the very end.
I don't think it can be underestimated how we've almost certainly been partly undone by Schmidt. I'd say he was a massive asset to face us.
Thought New Zealand did their homework brilliantly, competed aggressively for the ball and flew into rucks when there was a sliver a chance of a turnover.
Irelands poor start and failure to sort that bloody lineout which has been poor earlier in the tournament cost them dear

Aki could run into an oncoming train and gain yards. Some animal.
Disgusted but can't be mad. Gave our all, no officiating fecked us over. Just ABs being the fecking ABs.

Time has shown Sexton to be a bit of c*nt, forget him. I feel for the rest.
I think our line out was a huge factor.
The final will do well to be 80% as good as that.
NZ were class but it felt like we made a lot of mistakes and weren’t nearly as good as in the SA game to be honest.
what a game though, final worthy.

well played. NZ in the final now - no underestimating themBrilliant game. I've spent the week telling people they're assholes for writing off the All Black's. Like we Irish don't know what happens when you get ahead off yourselves. Pfffft.
Unbelievable player though. The best we have ever had. Seems to be a bit of a dick but what a player.
Was saying the other day I thought NZ were going under the radar. I know they were playing relatively poor opposition, but they were racking up an incredible amount of points. I did still think Ireland would win, and that was a good chance for them to do so, but fair play to NZ. Even with the yellow cards (the first one being a joke), they played exceptionally well.
Guess England will win the whole thing now...
