Sam Cane shut down Caelan Doris in Ireland's quarter final | BRIAN O'DRISCOLL

[@marcdaniels9079]

Cane copped a lot of criticism from the media and fans and of course Peter O’M. Great to see him really deliver 😅

[@pita3908]

A lot of criticism were kiwis...

[@carlhenderson4820]

And here's some more .. he was our worse captain and a C class player ..good riddance

[@rexricky952]

Have to hand it to the OTB lads. Ye made us look arrogant by overstating how confident you were and completely underestimating how good the all blacks can be. Gave them the fire they needed to get back to their best. Nicely done 👍

[@Kevin-lf4xx]

The crap these guys have come out with over the past month has been unbelievable, I nearly convinced myself we had already won the World Cup.

[@one_eyed_odin]

Imagine paying to hear it too😅

[@Kellso06]

Kearney saying Ireland only have to play at 90% to beat them was hilarious. The sheer delusion. Molloy nodding away then😂

[@loganwilliams7635]

​@@Kellso06hard to beat most top teams when you can't get your own lineout ball, let alone the all blacks.

[@frostysfreeway2320]

Doris was so arrogant in his press conferences. He gave the AB’s all the ammunition they needed

[@DwayneTate-p3i]

Got in his head, in his head, in his head.

[@drh02]

Cane is vastly underestimated by supporters around the world and even at home. He is an absolute beast. Everyone seems to be surprised by his performance. If you look at his stats, he's always the top tackler. His hard work allows Savea to do his thing.

[@MHK19701]

💯❤

[@davidhewitt126]

You get it 👍

[@hoani1000]

Savea will do his thing with or with out Sam Caine as he has proven that time and time again , so don't give Caine the credit for Savea being as good as he is

[@JACKAL98]

Exactly! My dad has always hated Sam and favored ardie more. Sam's on the same level as Kieran Reed because when they used to play in the same team they were always similar in terms of their defense and tackle game. Ngl i knew Sam was a great player but I didn't expect him to become the captain.

[@joemoody7440]

The abuse he got from his own country men after the summer series defeat to Ireland was absolutely shocking, I was very surprised to see that side of kiwi's.

[@jasonsmith3573]

looks like NZ did their homework and knew how much go forward Doris delivered so shut him down

[@RushNZ_]

ABs made zero handling errors that’s why there weren’t many scrums Ireland made 5 handling errors and lost all the scrums

[@GG-tc8cr]

Peopke got carried away Great to see them back down to earth 🤣🤣🤣

[@andresjaque8344]

Doris and JDF lack of perform in the QF were key in the defeat, hard but true

[@ChurBro451]

Yep, you really have no idea how much of what you say to or about someone until it comes back around & smacks you into oblivion, SC has proved to all his critics ,that actions speak louder than words

[@JoeTheLion60]

Sam Cane > Peter O'Mahoney :-)

First rugby captain to be chased off the pitch in a world cup final....you will be remembered for that for many years to come....

Sam Kane tackles to hurt you. Stephen Donald former AB 10.

How does humble pie taste Brian… yummy…!!!! Do you understand now that there are other teams that have a thing called pedigree, and pedigree is built over decades like the team from the southern hemisphere, 8 world cups between them not over just 2 years… keep eating that lovely pie mate…!!!

[@hc8299]

What humble pie?😂 he consistently said he would rather France then all blacks. The pedigree you speak of has been hugely damaged after this all blacks team have consistently racked up poor defeats to Argentina at home, Ireland, France and a record defeat to South Africa. Not to mention England pummelled them in the last World Cup, let’s be honest, the all blacks trajectory is going down. And that’s not me being disrespectful that’s just the reality of the situation.

@@hc8299 Don't buy too much into fluid stats cuz, they don't mean a thing on game day. The only stat you should remember is that we've got the greatest success record of ANY team, of ANY sport in the last 100yrs. WR #1 pales in comparison. You can have #1 back if you like, you'll never get close to the important stats.

[@hoani1000]

No it's you being delusional@@hc8299

[@bodhid]

Doris is a brilliant ball carrier and reminds me of Sean OB in the role he plays for Ireland in making hard metres. It seemed clear to me that he was the player to target; focus on smashing him hard early in the game, then keep targeting him so he can't get up to speed and he's then less of an outlet. You need to do it legally but rugby is a brutal game and you need to put some doubt in that players mind; make them anticipate the hit, second guess it. That explains Doris being less effective and dropping that ball. You go for your opponents key enforcer early and intimidate them.

When you are top, people do their homework to knock you off top. That's good. That's how you learn. NZ did their homework and now Ireland can do the homework. Learn, relearn, learn again. Losing to NZ in such a way will aid Ireland.
