And again. If we make it to the final against England we're fucked.

I'm hoping we still have receipts from 2019 to draw on

Raynal can't read receipts in English.

Rugby onslaught were on fire before yesterday.

Ah lads, it’s been difficult reading this forum over the last few weeks. So many of you putting us down, spitting on us and talking shit about our players. There has been a hint of a paradigm shift in the last few years and some of you have struggled with that and when I read the comments here it reminds me of the way people used to speak about the all blacks and the way they conducted themselves in the past. It may surprise you, but in Ireland we see NZ as the ultimate rugby team, presumably the best team in any field sport, ever. You were sensational last night. You clearly hate us but well done and good luck. Your ruck work and line speed was astonishing.

As someone who lived in Ireland for 7 years (Cork, Galway, Dublin) with 2 of 3 kids born there I don’t dislike the Irish. Far from it. But the « pacific island poaching, NZ cheats, refs always favour » NZ grew thin. Now that you have got a lot better and got some wins there is less of that. Won’t miss sexton though even if I supported Leinster when I was in Ireland. And hated Aki and Gibson-Park scoring against us. But you guys are always grest craic. And a bloody good rugby team now with a great development programme in place.

@Machpants

That like calling Richie McCaw a Scotsman.

It wouldn’t surprise me if Alo had never stepped foot on Tongan soil for anything more than a quick visit.

You are confusing nationality with heritage. Anyway he’s an adopted Irishman now

Leicester was born there, and moved to NZ as a toddler

Don't see what was wrong with his comments. He was right: Ireland didn't play near their potential (based on the 54 minutes I've seen) and lost because it it.

Did see his comments but perhaps Ireland didn't play to their potential because we played so well. Didn't see any domination from their forwards or penetration in the backs compared to the NZ tests.

Irish fans are talking about us attacking the breakdown and slowing their ball enough to disrupt their usual play

The morning after , It’s funny how one game can completely change perceptions,

All of a sudden with a fully fit squad and a winnable semi final in front of us , we look very well placed

How did our coaches miss Aki?

He wasn't this good in NZ and left before he could improve.

He was a lot smaller then?

[DaGrubster]

@Machpants

Thought you were talking about Aki!!

[DaGrubster]

@kiwiinmelb

Some of us have not had our perceptions changed because we backed the team to do the job.

Honestly, so many bloody softcocks not giving us a chance against Ireland.

Losing to France was a master stroke, all hail king Fozzie.

I'm shocked, shocked! That Reiko is being a dick.

Hand on the ear after a win with all the noise that's led up to it -- that's a solid 2-3 out of 10 for the 'being a dick-ometer'

And, after losing in the biggest choke ever in RWC history, the captain in his last game ever should have shown a bit of class. Doesn't have any tho

[Billy Tell]

Don’t think Ireland choked. At all. But sexton is insufferable.

[kiwiinmelb]

Reiko followed up in a photo in the rooms with a few mates and had his finger up to his lips , shhhh

He’s just a naughty boy

You might say after the not even playing but abuse the ref on the field and up the tunnel incident - he's a poor man's Sexton.
