[RWC2023 QF2] Ireland vs New Zealand (14/10/2023)

[Atmavictu]

You can always count on the Irish to choke when the critical moment arrives.

I was hoping for a European final...I guess it will be All Blacks South Africa...disappointing but New Zealand deserved the win.

The players will have their regrets for sure but there's no shame in losing to that NZ performance. They were excellent. Clinical in taking their opportunities and teak tough in defence.

I will laugh so hard if it turns out all 4 NH sides lose at the QF stage. I should know better and remember 2007.

Matt Dawson did predict it will 4 NH sides in the semis so that should have been a sign it won't be the case. Dawson is almost as bad at predictions as Stade Rochelais

Can't see it, the older you get the less likely you're getting a semi.

 

[General Melchett]

Massive credit to Sam Cane who could have lowered himself to POM's level and said something classless and disrespectful to him after the game. Shame for the other Irish players but well done to the ABs.

Come my friend; @TRF_Olyy shared with me your disappointment and your sorrow.

 

[Jer1cho]

The best Irish team ever lost to the worst AB team ever. Make of that what you will

 

[Atmavictu]

Irish are dumping their semifinals tickets If they only dumped the final as well...

 

[IT157]

England wil be the World Champion

England vs. Argentina final. Yes please!

Ireland were not better in this game.

I don't recall ABs having any ball for virtually 30 mins. Their defence, break down and fitness were class. But Ire played most of the rugby barring a few pieces of brilliance

You think I'm Irish?

I'm also far from being Irish tbh (I mean my photo in that post). But I'm ok if someone takes me for an Irish,it's the second time in my life when someone thinks I'm from Ireland btw

 

[bushytop]

Ooof, Drico dredging the whole pulled penalty schtick… the rumoured fallout between their sons is real

In sledging

And didn't make a dent. Defense wins world cups. Plain and simple.

 

[Bluemoon]

Genuinely one of the best international games in some time. Different level, intensity was incredible to the very end. The last 35+ phases in the NZ 22 was amazing drama. Heartbreaking for Ireland, but no shame going out like that.

Fully behind France now!

Good luck to England and France tomorrow. The NH is counting on you.

Not the worst, just not vintage ie as good as the 2015 team which was probably their best.

 

[Jer1cho]

Still gutted.
