Total respect to Ireland. A champion side that has had our number more often than not in recent years.

Agree but in the end you have to beat the best sides to win the comp. and Ire stumbled here.

You're such a cunt ah ha ha ha.JM2K6 wrote: ↑Sat Oct 14, 2023 8:53 pm Barnes finally gives a penalty.
Well done New Zealand. Cracking performance. Sam Cane's best display for five years. Too much pace and power for Ireland, who at times looked incredibly ponderous with Sexton at walking pace for much of the second half. Great tries by NZ, too.
The best players on the pitch were all kiwis. Admittedly some of them were wearing green, but still. Excellent display.
The best Irish side there ever was and probably ever will be goes out in the quarter finals. What a story. Incredible game to watch.
Yeah. Age and that long sit out may have caught up with him.JM2K6 wrote: ↑Sat Oct 14, 2023 8:53 pm Barnes finally gives a penalty.

It's a very real possibility! As is no NH semi finalists..el capitan wrote: ↑Sat Oct 14, 2023 8:55 pm Imagine if tomorrow night we're left with England upholding the NH's reputation

I don't think there would be any complaints if this was a semi final with SA and France in the other.
I don't want to derail the ABs win here, it was thoroughly deserved in a close and hard fought match which would have been worthy of a final
Yes, he really is a cunt. No question. There is a gulf in class on and off the pitch between him and guys like Carter or Wilkinson.S/Lt_Phillips wrote: ↑Sat Oct 14, 2023 8:57 pm Fitting that Sexton's final act as an international is to act like a petulant child. Shame.
Unfortunately sticking with Sexton the whole game probably cost them the game! He should have been subbed after 50-60mins and especially with Murray coming on - the pair of them slowed the game way down for the Irish and made them easy to defend against.They really needed more pace at half back to pose a threat and ended up very predictable for ABs to defend against. Better team won.Torquemada 1420 wrote: ↑Sat Oct 14, 2023 8:55 pmYeah. Age and that long sit out may have caught up with him.JM2K6 wrote: ↑Sat Oct 14, 2023 8:53 pm Barnes finally gives a penalty.

I know I've seen you wear a French shirt IRL, but are you actually French or was it the only clean shirt you had available?
Agreed. Said as soon as Murray came on, it would be Youngs-esque pace. He was crawling to breakdowns not long after coming on.dpedin wrote: ↑Sat Oct 14, 2023 9:02 pmUnfortunately sticking with Sexton the whole game probably cost them the game!
