A bit of whining in that article from the Times (here).

For starters, I think the angle people use to say it was shoulder to the head is quite clearly the chest anyway, but even then, the TMO/Bunker gets tons of angles anyway, they'd have checked everything with scrutiny, and I imagine with the reverse/side angle, you'd probably quite clearly see it is an optical illusion... did his shoulder nudge the chin? Probably, but only after bumping up off the chest.
The biggest miss from the TMO was a neck roll on Rieko on about the 32nd phase of that last movement.

I think Whitelock now has the record of most RWC games and he has two more to add to his total. Will be hard to beat.
Might have most RWC matches won as well? Maybe we need a Big Sam's Firsts thread...
Be a fair bet. Been to four world cups and lost two games.

And, whisper it, possible only triple cup winner

A bit more here of the incident between Ioane and Sexton.
I won't lie, I think Rieko can be a bit of a dick, however since I was literally yelling 'fuck off back to Ireland you fluffybunnies Sexton and O'Mahoney', I think it's fair to say that I'm being a bit hypocritical.

Well the four more years was Gregan standing over an AB (Kelleher) and rubbing it in. And didn't get all whiny cockwomble about it. Took it as due

@gt12 obviously it was some smart arse comment from RI, given how pissed off Sexton was, I wonder if he reprimanded POM for his shit richie comments?
There will always be those who have something smart/funny to say that will piss some off, always passed as banter/sledging...

A couple of things.
That last phase of play started with Sexton's 22 drop out bang on 76mins. It finished at 82:18. 6mins and 18 seconds later.
NZ gave Ireland the ball (what the fuck was that kick Nuggie?) at 77 mins.
For the leaguies out there, the All Blacks withstood the equivalent of seven consecutive "6 agains", in 5 and a half minutes.

I'm assuming there are going to be lots of cheap tickets popping up online for the Semi-final, I can't imagine many Irish supporters hanging around now.

Anyone know of any reputable ticket resale sites?
RWC have a ticket resale section, heaps of tickets available, all full price €550

Been out all day. Saw the last 5 minutes this morning so nice to get time this afternoon to get a look at the rest.
ABs first attacking raid going 29 phases without incident is pretty good.
Ireland's lineout and ruck are nervy.
I thought Barnes got the first scrum wrong tho - ABs THP folded in for me
-
Ireland's should spend more time playing and less trying to milk penalties.
Their attack looks disjointed and hesitant.

What an utter arsehole Rob Kearney is! He could have shown some humility on the final whistle and said “I called the All Blacks defensive passive. I was wrong.”
Instead he bagged his own team after they slogged their guts for 80 minutes. Irish Rugby deserves better than smug gits like him.

Not sure if I’m missing something here ?
Ireland have got “smug gits” like Sexton, O’Mahoney and before them O’Driscoll so I’m unsure what Kearney has said that’s so offensive ?

Fuck you Bundee Aki, fuck you Bono, fuck you James Lowe, fuck you Jamie Gibson-Park.
Poor Bono, all he did was give everyone a free album and he gets lumped in with traitors.
