To be fair the All Blacks showed a lot of character to come back from somewhere most, if any teams couldn't. Luck? You make your own luck.


Yeah, the harder I work, the luckier I get
 
Wow. What a finish. That is just too harsh. Ireland, I feel for you big time.
 
Anyway, don't think anyone saw that coming after the performance against Australia last week.
Fantastic effort.
 
Unlucky Ireland,gutted for you.Great comeback from NZ tho.
 
So New Zealand had a day off, just like last years against England.. I would love to face them in these conditions, to bad TRC starts around august :(
 
As for mental strength, that's all we had today. We got beaten in pretty much every other facet of the game except self belief. Another ounce of it in green would have finished the job.
 
unlucky such a harsh way to loose the match but im sure you will win against new zealand one day

Where do you keep printing those? Second test v Ireland 2012, Wales 2004, 2003, 1978.
 
I suppose it's hard to be happy with the performance to have it snatched away right at the end.
I just seriously hope this doesn't just destroy their confidence and by the 6Ns comes we can put up a heck of a fight.

God ****ing damnit Sexton. I guess we'll never know what goes through a players head when kicking to effectively seal the game.
 
Amazing effort by Ireland, what a start they had it Incredibly intense and clinical. What a closing sequence by the All Blacks though, pure genius.

However, i'm quite happy with the result. When Ireland went up to 19-0 I knew the All Blacks would eventually find their way back in contention and i thought that if they managed to get within 7 points in the last 10 minutes that they would snatch it. Ireland should have won it, and would have if Sexton had nailed that last kick. And then the retake!! ahhh. But anyways, at 19-0 i decided it well worth a punt on the All Blacks and bet £60 on them to produce the last minute flurry of skill. Won me a cheeky (and fooking lucky) £90. Boom-lay!
 
Beauden Barrett starting ahead of Dagg next game? Thought he made a big difference. Seriously class act. Massive step up from them.

Ireland's kicking game and chase dropped in the second half with bad effects. Lost the breakdown too.

Six Nations will be interesting now.
 
Would hate to be in Irelands dressing room right now,talk about feeling gutted!
 
Two last minute wins for NZ teams in the same weekend. I think i've aged a few years. Commiseration to Ireland, they were fantastic - NH teams were alot closer to the AB's this year. As a fan - sad to see BOD go out like that.
 
And I was going to round up a posse and storm the Dublin nightlife tonight.


**** that.
 
The lads can hold their heads high but i'm sure they're the most devastated of us all. I've only just come back to thinking can't imagine whats its like for them.
 
I don't think I've felt this raw about a Rugby match since the England v Scotland game at the last World Cup. Jeez, I still can't believe that actually happened.
