Yellow for the kiwis. 

Need to make the most of the next 10 mins

Barnes reffing an Ireland game is like Howard Webb reffing one of ours.

2 yellows and a penalty try against NZ.

 

no mate

[Mudface]

Can't believe the Irish have nicked our 'Fields of Anfield Road' song and put some weird lyrics on it.

[Lee909]

Crying the penalties in now

[Pidge]

Yeah, bullshit that.

[Rushies tash]

Ireland are usually very cute in winning penalties which keep the scoreboard ticking along. New Zealand been very disciplined in not giving them away in scoring positions. 

[Lee909]

And that might have been the chance, especially with that knock on

[Creator Supreme]

Come on, one last push.

[Rushies tash]

Ref letting New Zealand take their sweet time getting the ball out.

[Pidge]

Hands in the ruck again. They aren't trying to win the ball, Barnes, they just want to slow it FFS, call them on it!

[redinblack]

Fuck Off

[Pidge]

Jesus, this is some grit. Looks like they're hurling a fucking medicine ball across the line.

 

Ah balls.

[Creator Supreme]

Fuck shit wank bastard twat!

[ZonkoVille77]

New Zealand were the better side on the night. Aside from the first 10 mins in the 2nd half and the last 5 mins, Ireland were average.

Thats about where I am.

 

I'm not bothered what happens now

[Anubis]

Superb defence from New Zealand. The ice bath will never have seemed so inviting.

[an tha]

Ireland in rugby world cups are like Ingerlund in footy ones - minus the cuntishness in the stands, from the fans 'back home' and the media.

[Mudface]

Brilliant game, this should have been the final.

[Trumo]

Ireland ultimately succumbed to the occasion and the weight of history. The All Blacks could yet become another of those teams that go into a tournament without much momentum, are written off early on, yet somehow find a way while getting stronger the further they go.

[No2]

Sexton has been a legend but his decision making has been shit for years. New Zealand win a pen, they take 3 points, Ireland win one, they kick for the corner. At 3 nil down he passed up an easy 3 pointer, 90 seconds later its 6 nil. Take those 3 and a drop at goal wins that tonight. 

 

Mammoth effort from both teams, New Zealand just about deserved it, they're defense was outstanding.

It worked in his favour before half time when he opted to go for the corner and they got a Try from it. But I get what you're saying. That early in the game would have had a psychological boost for the team to push on. Hindsight is great.

[Creator Supreme]

This should have been Irelands world cup, their biggest chance. Same as Wales in 2011, they blew it.

[George Costanza]

Ireland choke again. 

 

They really really have someking of mental block in the WC.  Todays game was always going to be tough even against argualbly the worst NZ team at a WC (it is still pretty good though) The game was probably a 60:40 in their favour but its incredible given the quality of their side of the years they've never made it past the QF
