@@blackpanda7612it’s a given there will be some errors due to being human but this was a bit too often in happening right through the tournament.

The real difference is mentality. Both France and Ireland left DuPont and Sexton on the field too long and they tired. South Africa and New Zealand were willing to make the substitutions. Rugby is more than 15 v 15, and that’s exactly why the Boks won the whole thing. No team in rugby history has emphasised that more.

11:08 for non rugby fans.. That’s how you pass and evade the tackle.. You pass then you step to the opposite site where the defence is coming. 11:08

[@yaboi5509]

Ireland are a fantastic side but u should never ever count out the all blacks, let alone an all black team with so much experience and proven world class players. Players like Aaron smith, Beauden Barrett and Sam Whitelock all have proven themselves as the best in the world in their positions the past decade and that means something even if they are “past it”

[@Leewoods123]

Jordie single handedly won the game for his team!

[@eanmeyer629]

I love the Irish comments:”We’ll be back in 2027”. They’ve been saying that for 32 years. This year they definitely had the best team they’ve ever had. Pressure is any sports’ lie detector. You can have the best team in the world, but can you win clutch games? This is where the All Blacks and Springboks are masters. I agree with the one comment about England being the only Northern Hemisphere team able to perform under pressure

[@JaemanEdwards]

Ireland will never ever be as strong as they were for this world cup. This was their shot and they blew it. Can't count on Kiwis to continually switch to Ireland to shore up their obvious deficiencies. Power runners. Their best bet is to tap in to the worldwide Irish diaspora.

[@joeboonmusic4004]

Completely agree with all of that. This is also why Scotland have never won anything, even with their mercenary players. They have loads of talent and have great flair but they go missing when it matters. Somehow England manage to be capable of handling the pressure, I'm not sure why.

[@JaemanEdwards]

6@@joeboonmusic4004 Ireland don't have the necessary mix of ethnicities. Simple. They are never winning the world cup. They are on essentially the same registered rugby player numbers as NZ. But they lack the essential melanin injection. Can you pick up what I'm laying down ?

[@pt6595]

I dont know if it's been done before, but I've never seen an opposition player win against the ABs on their 100th test match. Players that come to mind are: Adam Ashley Cooper, John Smit, there are more but they're coming to mind atm lol

[@troyocarroll]

You've got a confused memory, John Smit missed the tackle on Ma'a Nonu that won that game for the All Blacks.

[@JayRicoche]

If Ireland won this game and the world cup they could've became the greatest rugby team ever. Grand Slam, Winning Streak Record and World Cup Winner. Only the ABs can stop that momentum. 🔥

[@worldchampions4379]

Now your gonna have to win at least 4 world cups with 3 of them back to back to surpass the GOATS. I cant see that happening in 100 years. Meanwhile the Boks are going for 3 in a row & you still searching for your 1st semi final. But you do have good team I’ll give you that.

[@cortinatim1]

Thats a bit far fetched. Def a very good team, but greatest ever? The ABs from 2012-2015 had a 93% win rate and went a season undefeated. Multiple trophies and a WC victory. Let’s see what Ireland can do the next 4 years and see if they can keep it going. It’s great for international rugby 🍻

They were not going to beat the Boks in the finals, you know this.

What a game

[@Blimzio]

Imagine you are Ireland and your best player is Maori and not even born in Ireland 🤣🤣🤣 And you still can't make it past a world cup quarter final but you keep telling yourself that you're going to win the world cup. Get into a semi at a world cup, then get into a final the next world cup and then when you get into another final on your third attempt, you win it.

Tana Umaga to his own Kiwi fans after the win against the Irish ( There wasn't alot of expectation on NZ going into this game, that's even at home, I don't think the public at home gave this team any hope of making it past this stage. Now we have got to this stage, you see everyone is trying to clamber back on the bandwagon) TJ Perenara after the opening loss to France ( Obviously been a tough week for sport here in NZ, but everyone talking () firstly shush, you've never been in the arena and secondly we need to get behind our team and athletes) . Even yer own players don't like ye is basically the home truths here in this so shush with the entitlement and don't worry about Irish fans, concentrate on yer own failings cause we back our team , win , lose or draw year after year .

New Zealand love to bring up Wayne Barnes in the final but forget about this game

[@barryb90]

I don't think Barnes is deliberately bad, he just is. Us Irish never have any luck with him, and he rinsed NZ in the finals.

[@nathangooding05]

@@barryb90 I don’t think he’s a bad referee I think he calls things very fair when the play is happening for both teams. This one went more New Zealand’s way but the final was pretty even. Ireland unfortunately were outclassed in this game and New Zealand played their best game of rugby in years

[@nathangooding05]

@RO-nr6up yeah Tmo was quite disruptive in the final but they can’t just allow penalties to go unpenalized

[@nathangooding05]

@RO-nr6up South Africa simply outplayed New Zealand in the final it’s no coincidence they won by one point. I think South Africa would win that game no matter what happened even if New Zealand’s try was allowed

[@blackpanda7612]

@RO-nr6up That may be but the guy and his family got death threats after the final and had to quit. I don't understand what pushes fans to these extremes.

@@floydkingi4364 I get that, but SBW was a temporary fad. He was never a long term development because he always followed the money. There was debate about sacrificing the ling term potential of Bandee for the short term option of SBW. Given how it worked out, SBW was the wrong bet to place.
