That Irish guy just looked tired.

Pigeon_Killer · 14 Oct 2023 at 21:49

Choked that.

Alice In Wonderland · 14 Oct 2023 at 21:50

Gutted for Ireland.

el_dazza · 14 Oct 2023 at 21:50

That was a serious choke. Awful handling errors, dreadful kicking.

Purdy · 14 Oct 2023 at 21:50

Incredible play by both teams at times there, Ireland and their penalties were ******* ridiculous

Trusty · 14 Oct 2023 at 21:51

ahh shame

PinkFloyd · 14 Oct 2023 at 21:52

Incredible sustained pressure from Ireland there. Not sure I've ever seen so many phases - everyone on the pitch look knackered. Great win for NZ, Ireland will regret all the penalties they gave away, very unlike them.

Trusty · 14 Oct 2023 at 21:52

they were basically walking at the end, must have been knackered.

Reuben klang · 14 Oct 2023 at 21:52

That was brutal.

They needed to keep going wide. That was an awesome defence though.

Feel for the Irish.

Roll on France v SA

That's two wins for the Southern Hemishphere today...

Still fancy France to win this, but massive game tomorrow.

Go into a game overconfident, All Blacks will make you pay.

Alice In Wonderland · 14 Oct 2023 at 22:02

The all blacks just looked much more fit.

SpeedFreak · 14 Oct 2023 at 22:07

Don't think anyone in Ireland was overconfident, it was a brutal draw and a tough match against a team building momentum.

nick-fury · 14 Oct 2023 at 22:08

Welshman, Irishman, Scottishman walk into a bar...Englishman isn't there he's still in the RWC.

SpeedFreak · 14 Oct 2023 at 22:09

England been handed a gift so far. Ireland scrum weakness was the difference today.

I though that, too much hard work in training?

Anyone have an idea why Sexton was so angry at the end? Shouting at a NZ player. Maybe that, what looked like, high tackle?

SA for me - too big up front

Was it weakness, or just something Wayne saw, Porter made ground on every scum, they likely should have subbed him when they saw the penalty rate tbh.
I am gutted.
Utterly gutted.
Truly thought we would do better.
The draw wasn't great, but still, you've to beat all in front of you.

Thus far in the WC best 2 matches to watch IMO have been Ireland SA and Ireland NZ. Same results were not both the same.
It'll be very interesting tomorrow, France SA.

the running from their backs wasn't slick either, passes weren't quite hitting the mark

Porter made ground, at 45 degrees to the scrum, about time someone picked him up on it.
