Oiiiiirland, Oiiiiirland vs the Sheep Sha...erm, Farmers

2 DOWN TWO TO GO. 

Congrats to the wee abs. 

Well done New Zealand. 

Absolutely heroic performance from the All Blacks, especially that period between minutes 64 and 74 when they were down to 14 men and outscored the Irish 3-0. Ardie Savea was a warrior.

Great game of rugby.

Must just add, I'm sure there are some posters on here who think I've exaggerated when I call Doos XL the poster on here who knows the least about rugby, but seriously, just read through his ignorant, childish and pathetically biased comments on this thread and decide for yourself.

That's SH 2, NH 0!

Come on Bokke!

WELL DONE ALL BLACKS, one hell of a game

lol...kak snaaks....and tragic!!!, sorry Borat and Stav....what a game....congrats NZ...2 zip for SH!!!!

Mrs Searle, frame by frame any time. But before you go. Let's talk more about Watson over Schalk, Pretorius over Butch, Schalk playing flyhalf, and Willemse failing at 10 when he didn't play 10.

And as many predicted, if NZ get a lively start they're going to do it. Ireland had to play catch up all game long.

LMAO!

Grow up, little boy. Seriously. That's not just a taunt, it's some well-meaning advice.

Hard luck Stav. An epic game indeed.

Mrs Searle you have the acumen of roadkill. Big mouth, no substance. 

Gutted with you Stav, I'm a Southy but I really think Ireland deserved a shot this year and I wanted it for them. They didn't bring it when it mattered though. Again.

What a shame this wasn’t a semi….great heart by Ireland, bad luck Stav.

Yeah semis will be an anticlimax after these quarters.

Commiserations Sta vanger1 but what a game!

Two kickable penalties against 14 men, that utterly idiotic Sexdrip chip into the 22 with Ireland on attack just handing it on a platter to NZ, and Doris dropping a sitter to rob Ireland of 5 crucial minutes of possession at the crunch of the game. Silly plays at the time, huge turnarounds in the larger scheme of things.

And having an utter dud in Hansen at 14 didn't help.

Congratulations ABs.   Well deserved.  Ireland didn't get their head in the game and made too many stupid unforced errors.  Doris is normally so reliable dropped the ball forward twice at key moments.   I don't mean to be disrespectful to the ABs, I think they played a great game but I we bottled it!  

Realists  who listened to Beeno knew NZ could win. 

Face facts we missed 11 points via kicks and the ref made a few crucial blunders. Ireland are clearly not tbe best side in the world

So congrats to the Kiwis and hard luck to the Irish.

The whole pool selection was a load of nonsense. Ireland, Boks, France and NZ should all have been in separate pools. Best team in pools And D was ranked 6 in the Workd. 

Poor Doos thinks this is all fine. Talk about clueless. Hahahaha.

Great game, edge of the seat to the final whistle. Game could have gone either way. 

Had a Irish supporter in the bar, all friendly and happy go lucky, final whistle he comes up and starts abusing me WTF?

Unfortunately I didn't  cover my self in glory and told him to fuck off.

 Headed back to my room and the bar is packed with Irish supporters, couldn't meet a nicer bunch of guys, all in party mode and congratulated  us on the win. Thank fuck there is just a small bunch of dickheads and most are decent guys.

Go the Boks and Fiji, let's make it 4 zip to the Southern boys

ABs deserved the win .................. tough luck Stav

I lost all me pocketmoney to my raucous kiwi 'relatives'

Hopefully get some back tomorrow.

NZ 230 tackles to shut down probably the slickest attack in world rugby. Ireland 322 passes to try and get through them. Only Aki managed it, and then two tries from 5m set pieces. Phenomenal defensive effort by the All Blacks .

Enjoyed the game and the end result even better.

In rugby you can never ever write the AB's off.

Two yellow cards and a "FREE" try form old Barnes and still the IRISH are toast.

Got to love it.

Well perhaps tonight in France you might be able to find one or two Irishmen in a sober state after this game .

Finally we have seen the last of Sexton....thankfully.
