RWC QF: All Blacks v Ireland

[BerniesCorner]

@kev there was a super bad one towards the end

Barnes always swallows his whistle at the end of matches. Savea had a penalty every day of the week there. Forward pack was O for awesome to a man. Cane and savea take a bow.

There three or four in that last 2 mins he wouldn't call. What really impressed me was they all took a step back from the ruck to protect the offside line yet still kept knocking them back. The most impressive was seeing Jonny Loudmouth SEXTON running his bitch slapper at the end.

Penalty try call was utter bullshit.

It was spot on

We have to give Ryan some credit, our protection of ruck ball was the best for a long time, I don’t think Ireland got that many turnover penalties but we got heaps.

The forwards were incredible tonight. Was absolutely night and day compared to the past 4 years. Don't have the cattle? Fucking bullshit.

To be fair, I think most of us have said we have the cattle but not consistently for 80 mins.

@MajorRage Better than 2007 mate

[Bones]

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

The best bit was watching that Irish attack capitulate to just 3 guys and through the hands in the last 15. We fucked up JGP

They were robotic on attack. Will have to watch again but JB & Reiko seemed to be closing down the outside space really well.

I've got a party this afternoon to go to. Weighing up pushing through on the diesel, or slowing down and resting up.

I think I'm going for it people, wish me luck

Just watched the last 5 minutes again this time with the NZ commentators.

When ALB landed that hit!

Thought so too. Was having nothing to do with Ireland's whinging game

Anyone seenJohnny Sexton post match interview??

@nzzp on the hills and in the valleys. Kia Kaha

[Bones]

@Frank best ever

[DaGrubster]

@Bones

If he brought the maul down, you wouldn’t know it given the speed that it went over the tryline.

From what I saw, it was a shit call and it didn’t even get brought down until they dove for the try!

[BerniesCorner]

Was at 2015 WC final this game is on another level

[Bones]

Barnes = redemption

He looked gutted. Made me feel warm all over.

Best game since 2000 Bledisloe?

There can’t be many better performances by a losing side than that by Ireland.

yeah, textbook, Codie dragging the maul down with him. Lineout steal nearly came off, though.

Commend Barnes for seeing through Porter clearly stepping out and driving in and penalising him for it. NZ set piece was brilliant.

Sexton looked out on his feet. No wrap arounds to create the extra man in attack.
