an absolute cracker of a game, one for the ages it's one of the best games I've ever seen  it's a pity it had to end with a loser.

There's not a lot wrong with New Zealand's game they just gave away too big a start.

It wasn't a great quality game Quisling but the stakes were high and that means there is a lot of emotion in it. Electric. In spite of ref BS the Spuds won.

Well done Ireland... It will be a shakeup for the All Blacks. Most likely a new coach. Although let's be honest the All-Blacks, forwards particularly the tight five is the weakest of the professional era. 

Fitzpatrick or Mccaw's team would take the current ABS to the cleaners 50-0 , so it is not all a coaching problem. Although surely Foster is toast.

We were shit, game plan, what game plan, a bunch of headless chooks staggering around the paddock after getting in the rum supply (especially in the first half) kicking away good ball for no reason

Irish were good and hopefully our inferior version of Peter De Villiers has the door smack him on the arse as he leaves the building, but the old boys club won't act as it will confirm they made the wrong choice to start with.

ABs chance in the RWC is ZERO

Sader, I'm great fan of NZ rugby but you were not totally disgraced, Ireland was simply superb.

I'm sure you will get it together before WC, AB's never lie down despite the odds.

Yeah sharkiebokke gotta agree. The forwards were shit. Sades is right under Foster they got zero chance of winning the WC. He still has no fucking idea who his number 10 is. Biggest shit act? Kicking the ball away. Master class by the Irish they were supreme and deserved that series. Good on them

The All Blacks under Steve Hanson were a team that could still win when their forwards gave them 35% possession by counter attacking and not kicking. They always had a plan B, not matter what happened.

The All Blacks need to go back to grassroots and find some new tight five players and fast-track them to be ready for the world cup. 

Ian Foster needs to do the honourable thing and resign

Their physicality was fine but their set pieces in line outs were shit. But New Zealand have mostly been shit in line outs for twenty years! The gaps with the North doesn't exist anymore got to get with the times but you fuckers don't want to admit it!

Well done Ireland, it has been in the making for the past 10 or more so years. I’m sorry, but the All Blacks simply didn’t show up today. They were sublime in the first test. Got rattled by the card fiasco in the 2nd and simply didn’t know what to do in the third. 

Very impress with the Irish back line play, very subtle passing and deception. All of their backs ran straight lines with good timing on the passes. Solid tight head and great okay from their number 4. Van der flier was another outstanding back rower. 

All blacks looked like individuals with no cohesion, too may 50/50 plays in their own 22. 

Still trying to score from coast to coast. Came off once but the rest backfired

Congratulations to Ireland, England, South Africa and Argentina for winning their series tours.

That's 2-2 between the hemispheres.

The November series are going be a cracker.

Crusadersfan fan is totally correct.But being honest we have been worried about this for quite some time.The South African guys have also been on to it for quite some time.Yes we are lacking in the forwards and the backs think we can win without the ball which leads to insanity when making the same old mistakes time after time.
Many Kiwis were hoping that NZ would lose this series in the hope it would spark the Union into making change which is only the starting point.
But they won't admit to fucking up of course.
What is horrifying, some at the union feel that Robertson does not take things seriously.The reality is some at the Union are a complete joke and they need to go as well as Foster.
I suspect some around the world will be concerned that it has come to this because NZ with Robertson will be a completely different beast.
The refereeing last night was ok.I don't blame him for the card lottery at all.World rugby need their arses kicked for allowing this crap situation to occur.
In saying all that, Ireland out played NZ and deserved their win.
