It's a good side no doubt and Ireland need to be given credit for the team they are and what they have achieved leading up to this point, even now with the 6N win.

This loss brought them down to earth, and I was so happy when they lost. In general, I love Irish people, I think they're amazing.

Watched this in the stadium. Ireland played a lot of the rugby but New Zealand had our number. I think the Joe Schmidt input may have made the difference. As an Irish fan I would quibble with the constant penalising of Porter, but the reality is that when the ABs has their chances they took them. You can play as much rugby as you want but being clinical with your opportunities is what counts. And the ABs did that. That try at 52 minutes destroyed us. There was no coming back after that. And South Africa did exactly the same against France the next day (I was at that match too - had my heart broken two days in a row!).

Look what showed up on my news feed. Haven't watched this game since November. Rewatching it after a few months certainly does solidify a few thoughts and opinions I had at the time and also highlighted things I hadn't noticed. The AB's were just absolutely awesome in this game. Playing 20 minutes with 14 men, countless dubious calls going against them, officials hellbent on keeping Ireland in the game right into overtime. The AB's didn't have the best start to the tournament. But, they were the ones that showed true heart, grit and composure. They were the ones that showed their class, mental and physical toughness when it mattered. Surround by a predominantly Irish crowd, written off by everyone except for the diehard faithfuls. Ireland played a great game and to the best of their ability, or were allowed too, unfortunately for Ireland it wasn't enough to get them home. Couple of things that stood out for me was watching a young AB proping pair (with little or no game time coming into this match), monster Ireland's best. Even when the reserve proping pair (who were even younger and inexperienced) came on and pumped the Irish old heads. AB's only used 21 men for this game as well. What an effort. Best game in WC history.

[@CF-lg8jd]

Funny guy, numerous calls against NZ, unlike those against Ireland, red card missed, forward pass for opening try etc etc, we can all point out missed calls or bad calls, bottom line is NZ played the best rugby they have in 8 years and Ireland didn't play as they could and weren't as clinical, so NZ deserved there win, all that said they didn't win it all and that's all that matters

@@CF-lg8jd Hmmmmn... So the AB's beat Ireland in another quarter final and according to you, they played the best game they've played in 8 years... and, you're calling me a comedian?Alllllllrighty then. I guess a another fair statement would be, Ireland in the past 2 years have played the best rugby they've played in the last 100+ years, but are still choking in the quarters at WC's even when they're favourites? Red card? Don't know what that could be for. However if there was an instant where you think a red card was warranted, maybe the officials looked at the incident you're alluding to and Barnes and his mates thought it was a non issue. Similar to that of Porter when he lead with his head and hit Broddie squareo on the chops in the test series in NZ. Only a yellow card for Potty, he's got the right colours on. Forward pass that lead to an AB try? Come on son, you're reaching now. If you're gonna make excuses try and come up with original stuff. That ones pretty well worn. Take a lesson from the Irish bloke who said Kane couldn't ruck, at least that was original. A pity for him and all the other Irish supporters who said the Irish were going to wipe the floor with AB's prior to the game, Sammy actually brought his rucking boots for that game. I guess we'll have to agree to disagree. AB's playing with 14 men for 20mins and not using 2 reserves and still winning that game, yeah, that should tell you all you need to know about how good Ireland really are. I'm predicting, once Irish Bundee retires, the Irish are really going to struggle without his presence.

Ireland were arrogant in not taking the points on offer to the posts

[@celtic1916]

Had worked for Ireland throughout the World Cup and before . New Zealand did the exact same thing not long later in the final against South Africa and it didn't work out for them either. It's a case of a great tactical move when it works out but an error if not . Nothing more nothing less.

[@commentwell3870]

@@celtic1916 South Africa dont take kicks at posts and back their 7-1 split full-on. The irony was that at the WC against Ireland, they picked a 7-1 split but opted to kick for posts and Libbok missed most of his kicks - 11 points on offer in all. In hindsight is was a blessing in disguise for them - they would have lost against the ABs in the quarters lol

[@celtic1916]

Not alone did New Zealand kick for the corners. Instead of taking their kicks, they also never attempted to set up for a drop goal in good positions in the final parts of the game instead looking for a try when there was only one point in it. So why call others arrogant? Quarter final? You met them in the final . You can't say you would have beaten them in the quarter finals if the game never existed. That's arrogant with no substance to the claim .

[@ciaranbrk]

it wasnt that they knew they needed to score tries to beat New Zealand and you have to score tries to beat them before they have a purple patch. Ireland tend to almost always go for the jugular now in the past the were guilty of letting teams off the rack with shots at goal.

Never said otherwise. I'm just pointing out these two officials got extreme abuse and are still getting it to this day from New Zealand fans. I know Ireland and Barnes had their differences in the past , maybe have a little whinge and move on . But what happened at this World Cup was a different level. Even his wife spoke about the abuse she got on World Cup final day in Paris in a later post and said enough is enough. That's unacceptable, so the original commenter talking about what is disgraceful needs a memory check cause what he is talking about is fairly mild compared to some of what happened with his own folk .

@@celtic1916 the online abuse isn't and should never be acceptable but that's the sad world we live in and unfortunately these idiots will never stop, however, the water boy doing it to the refs face on a world stage allows for more idiots to think it's ok to treat a referee like that, so he was way out of line.
