Quarter Finals

[Meridio]

Same old story from ireland, another quarter final blew.

You can hardly say they blew it, Ireland played well, the NZ defence just stood up to it

Fantastic match, feel for Ireland but the All Blacks were impressive, great win.

Ireland choked again in a big way, no way they should lose with NZ down to 14 men for 20 minutes. Their big players didn't stand up.

All Blacks were next level though, best performance in a long time.

What a game.

Incredible discipline at the end by New Zealand.

Hansen did not show up and while I get leaving ***ton on somewhat the call was wrong as he was a zombie towards the end.

They were the better side in 2nd half and blew it , that's a bottle job sadly.

 

[James]

Which was the better All Blacks performance? This one or Johannesburg 2022?

 

[Furball]

New Zealand quite similar to the opening night attacking wise in terms of efficiency.

'Choked in a big way' too harsh, though Ireland will rue their errors during NZ's second 14-man period.

WC cricket and international league was on free to air in prime time in Australia last night while this was buried on a streaming service nobody watches

One of those games that it's a travesty for either team to lose. Worthy of a final.

Feel for the Irish, proud of the ABs.

Hansen went off injured i thought?

Also, heh, the Zombie reference.

Mental game. Just mental.

Oh yeah he was very poor before that.

I think Ireland were at 70% which would have been fine against anyone on the other side of the draw but obviously NZ were excellent.

That's going to take some time for them to recover from, best side in generations and ultimately a quarter final exit yet again.

Calling it a choke is a garbage take. Barratt doesn't get himself under the ball and Ireland win that.

It's not a choke when a good team loses to another good team because of an exceptionally fine margin.

choke means 'lose, but wearing green'.

Yes when you have that team, you beat South Africa in the group stage and only earn a quarter final against the All Blacks instead of one of the numerous weaker teams, you're going to feel cursed.

**** I forgot this was on

They got such a harsh route. England couldn't have asked for a kinder draw to the SFs.

World Number 1 is playing, and the opposition is down to 14 men for a quarter of the match, yet they still lose. That's a choke in my mind.

It's alright. You didn't miss much
