    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.

    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.

    I'm mindful that you get to sit in the position of a winning team's fan, and feel a degree of sympathy for Ireland.

    Were you as sanguine when the ABs didn't win any RWC between 87 and 2011?

    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

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

            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 😉

              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.

                  Yeah but things certainly look much brighter now,

                  But still , beware of the banana skins 😀

                    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

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

                                    Thought Smith was disappointing

                                    We need him to find form again. He almost cost us this match at the end due to an idiotic decision. No good enough

                                      @Winger A brave call would be to start Roigard for the Semi and have Smith on the bench.

                                        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

                                        Agree. If he was younger and a hothead it might be excusable.

                                          Really? you have goading the losing opposition fans as only a 2-3 on the dickometer?

                                          (assuming he was doing it to the crowd?, not to Sexton)

                                          If anyone other than Sexton had reacted, where would it be on the scale?

                                          I mean, Reiko alway been a bit of a classless dick, so maybe I'm doing a reverse over dick-ometering of him. Nah, that is classless.

                                          If he is telling 'us' to shut up. E.g. The negative NZ fans, the Foster truthers. Then fair enough, although he'd still be wrong.
