neither team much chop with ball in hand, but gee thier defence and ruck work is top notch

I think the defences is the nullifying factor,

Ireland have looked great against lesser opponents a bit like us

SA the better rugby players, Ireland the better team.

This illustrates the Lowe is overrated argument.

[Canes4life]

I’m glad the Irish won, I think I’d rather play them in the quarters than the Boks.

@Machpants just watched it again. Definitely don’t hear ‘use it’

[sparky]

Ireland very impressive. Hugely organised, incredible discipline and so much rugby smarts.

[KiwiMurph]

It's Ireland's World Cup to lose.

I can't see us being clinical, smart or physical enough to beat them in a quarter.

[Kirwan]

I see the Boks winning the whole thing.

[game_film]

Simultaneously fascinating and joyless

Pressure is a funny thing, and Ireland are bigger chokers than even the French at world cups.

[Canes4life]

@KiwiMurph France are up there aswell if Du Pont is fit.

[Mattasaurus]

SA will simply not leave that many points on the field again this cup.... was it 9 , 12 points they missed from the tee today?

[stodders]

@Canes4life he won’t be

Not this team under Farrell. I don't see it. I hope i'm wrong cos they are boring as batshit.

Not sure about who will win it, but definitely see these two teams playing again in the final - streets above the rest.

[Dan54]

I loved every minute of that game. Just the intensity and accuracy of those two teams was bloody great to see. I know there weren't many tries or anything, but just great rugby.

[sparky]

Ireland the team to beat in this competition IMHO.

[mencey]

Well deserved. The Boks need a kicker. Great game to watch thought.

I hope BOK gets final if we not in it.
