I've been critical of ALB. But he played huge tonight

Everyone stepped up. BBBR, Frizzell, BB, Ardie. Reiko was outstanding in defence and has grown hugely in the last year.

Cane was better than them all though - great leadership, outstanding tackling and brilliant at the breakdown.

I’ll take the win but we have lots to work on, exits being the most obvious.

We solve our exits and we win that comfortably

[BerniesCorner]

Proves again that pick n goes are the sh-t

[Kiwidom]

I don’t mind if we don’t win the World Cup from here. That was our final. The Irish were the best team in the world. We stopped their winning streak. We were underdogs. We played 20 mins with only 14 men. This win was bigger than a final I reckon. Our best performance in four years. Just epic

And straight running from RM

[Kirwan]

That Jordie tackle was moment of the game.

Ardie named MOTM.

Cane and Jordie more deserving IMO

for some reason my stout tastes sweeter than it did 2 hours ago

Mr Peter O’Mahoney, Sam Cane may be a shit Richie McCaw, but he is going to a semi final at the WC.

MOTM

Yeah nah. I'll go postal if they lose to Cheika and co.

[Bones]

Sorry I fucked up the score guys. Had it until Taylor fucked me over.

Where has that Sam Cane been all my life? Unlucky to not be mom.

Brilliant control from Mounga.

Wound back the clock Beauds.

Forwards unbelievable.

Christie played his best game in black, he should be proud.

How about that rock solid midfield.

REDEMPTION

[canefan]

We have Argentina, and either SA who we know well, or the French with a monkey on their back

[Victor Meldrew]

@chimoaus

Yeah, he and the forwards got their shit together in the last few weeks. Impressive - particularly the breakdown

In fact kudos to all the coaching staff. Our D in the last 20 minutes was unbelievably good as was the headspace stuff.

@Tordah said in RWC QF: All Blacks v Ireland:

moment of the game for me was when Jordie held the Irish maul up over the line. Won the game right there

He had a massive game.

Who didn't?

yep. Even the likely suspects that the Fern like get stuck into, all did well.

Beaudie’s speed came through.

Fainga’anuku work at the ruck and link play.

Ioane defended like a demon

ALB has a hard shoulder off the bench

The two young props didn’t do anything dumb.

[MajorPom]

Closest I’ve ever come to crying at a final whistle.

Hold on, did Cane not win MOTM?

[Godder]

We won! And Wayne Barnes called a penalty for us at the end of an All Black quarterfinal!

ignore it, it's as bad as the ratings made up in the media. This place gets better assessments (when people don't get provincial one eye going)
