RWC QF: All Blacks v Ireland

[Bones]

Oh yeah that extra little bit of salt in the wounds. Was POM on the field tonight? Poor man's Reuben Thorne

[Nepia]

Yes. Just finished watching.

Before I make a more calm response now that we've won and this wont be sore losing:

Fuck Ireland and their cheating playing players in front of the ball tactic. All game they run a player in front of the ball who even if he doesn't actually touch a defender it forces them to change their line. Is Robbie Deans their secret attack coach? :fishing_pole:
Seriously WR needs to crack down on that.

Anyway, fucking happy with that win. It was a good hard test match.

So our defensive system worked this time? Who would have thunk it.

Class play by Reiko to feed the ball back in to LF rather than go for glory himself.

Sexton's a cock but I felt sorry for his little boy wiping the tears from his eyes.

That Mo run to send Jordan in was fucking class.

Ardie and Cane were machines. Scooter and BBBR work bloody hard, actually so do the rest of the fatties.

As much as I don't like Ireland they are a class side, who play their game well. Will be interesting to see what happens to them now. Will they carry on as a top side or have we broken them and is this a golden generation that they might not be able to replicate.

M.agpies and ABs wins - great weekend for this guy.

Tears in their Guinness -

That 2nd video was good. Agree with all of that. Josh VDF was disappointing. Rate him big time but that was a limp display tonight.

[leinster]

Congratulations NZ...from a leinster / ireland supporter...well deserved and we'll see you again as sean Fitz said

@Bones

Sean Fitzpatrick - our greatest ever ref

He was essentially battling Cane and Ardie in tandem too.

@chimoaus I wasn't surprised one but that we dominated their scrum, I was telling my mates that we'd have the edge in that area and they looked at me a bit funny, buying into the Irish hype. The Samoan scrum murdered them before the world cup and the boks got the better of them too in that area, and apart from the PT where we took a gamble by putting Whitelock up, we probably won that area too.

[Bovidae]

Who was Sexton dropping the F bomb to in that video?

True that. Shit McCaw ate his lunch.

fuck Ireland should have been penalised 20 phases earlier for sealing off

Kneck roll on RI too

German commentators went "THAT'S IT, NZ WON, CLEAR NECK ROLL" and I was waiting for the TMO to say something. Where was Jonker when you needed him?

I’m convinced that Barnes and Jonker are in the movie production game, because the drama of not making any call until the Irish players could do no more and several AB players hunched over, to the crescendo of the Whitelock breakdown penalty was a thing that will be spoken of for the ages.

Well played Barnes!

[DaGrubster]

@Toddy

Yes, it seemed to be as Reiko was walking away from him.

I really hope Reiko said something cunty to him

My guess is Dan Coles. They have a bit of history.

It'll be a big road back with lots of retirements before next cup, I think they'll go down before (if) they come back to current level

Barnes was great. Raynal would have killed us and Jack O'Peyper would have ignored the breakdown

Generally okay. But made some rough calls that all seemed to go against us in the second half
