Jesus wept
What an astounding test
Kiwis defended 37 phases at the end
Magnificently ridiculous rugby
I'm in awe of both teams
Wow

Incredible game. NZ deserved winners. Ireland believed the hype.
Barnes let them get away with a lot at the breakdown.
Immense game though

Great test match with NZ deserved winners in the end. That
missed kick from Sexton proved crucial I think in terms of what
it left the Irish to do and their match psyche. NZ’s third try
was just great to watch. Porter was warned repeatedly about
throwing his hips out before driving, warnings not heeded and
field position given up.
I think there was a lot of presumption this week that Ireland
just had to turn up to beat a below par NZ, The popular Celtic
refrain of ‘English arrogance’ could well be directed across the
Irish Sea these days I feel. Sexton finishes his career without
a World Cup. Maybe he’ll join Dicko and friends don a ref’s
outfit now as he’s always seen himself as an official….
On to today’s match. Who knows what version of England will turn
up? Hopefully, regardless of what happens, old Scabnose will
look forward rather than continue shoehorning standard drivers
and performers from 5 years ago into the 2024 6N. Chance will be
a fine thing. France v SA should be a cracker though. NZ should
get past Argentina but have they ‘played their final?’. Reckon I
still see a home win but never write off SA.

After that result fact remains since first World cup in 1987
only two home nations have been medal winners-Wales with a
bronze and England with a Gold and 3 Silvers.

Glad NZ won. Couldn’t stomach anyone else other than France as a
NH team winning it.

I don't think I'd be upset if England won it.

You'd be upset at fainting if it were to happen.

Na, hence anyone else.
There is no way we would even get within 25 points of France/SA
anyway in the semis. I’m just looking forward to another dross
display against Fiji

Personally I am delighted that Andy Farrell & Mike Catt are
flying home early … they bear a huge share of the responsibility
for England’s abject failure in 2015 which ruined the hopes of a
whole group of players for a successful home World Cup …
including the likes of Chris Robshaw, Mike Brown, Nick Easter,
Danny Care & Joe Marler … although Care & Marler now have one
last shot at glory
It has always seemed so WRONG that Farrell & Catt had the chance
for personal World Cup redemption in the colours of Ireland
Schadenfreude is a beautiful word and it perfectly sums up this
situation
