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

Aki was fantastic in a losing cause.

One big defensive brainfart by Ireland the difference.

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

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.

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.

Next generation of Irish tens look exciting. Will be fun to see where they go from here.

Banter aside though, a great intense game between two very good sides. New Zealand with the higher highs, but Ireland clung on to them and never went away. Obviously the Irish stumbling at the quarters again is pretty fucking funny, but that game was light years ahead of and shat all over at least two of the ties we'll see this weekend and farcical that we got it so early in the tourny.

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.

Agreed. Said as soon as Murray came on, it would be Youngs-esque pace. He was crawling to breakdowns not long after coming on.

If you can stop Ire getting quick ball at the breakdown, they become half the threat. NZ did that incredibly well and then Murray and Sexton did the rest in that last 20.

I said in the second half that Sexton hadn't done any wrap arounds, his energy levels were way below what they were last week.

Holy crap what a cliffhanger ending.

20 minutes with only 14 men on the field and still managing to beat the #1 ranked team in the world. That just shows pure class.

Ireland's game plan played right into the Kiwi's hands. Don't try to match the AB's physicality, rather try to outplay and outrun them.

So it's 2 SH teams in the semis with 2 matches to go. Will Fiji cause a small upset and beat England to make it 4 out of 4?
