StubHub and Ticketmaster will be going nuts after this weekend with Irish and French ditching tickets in a frenzy ….. It’s a disaster for the tournament.

Neutralized, essentially. And were forced into poor options and mistakes. Call it what you want but the better team won.

If it was Goodhue or ALB in that situation people would be saying well done Ireland for manipulating the defense into that try instead of bagging the player :roll: Even though none of those players would have the speed to actually be in a position to make that tackle. And whoever said Conrad Smith h...

I'll preface this by saying Ioane deserves an immense amount of credit for his distribution game, setting up two tries. He can't get enough credit for that. Having said that, his defence was again poor. 13 tackles made, 5 missed - the most missed tackles of the game, again. I thought his effort tha...

fudge me, that win has seen the All Blacks skyrocket in the odds to win the thing.

It'll change again post the last two quarter finals.

For those with a region block. https://www.balls.ie/rugby/sexton-ioane-rugby-world-cup-574601 I think Reiko might be more evidence that the 'no dickheads' policy is out the window Can't stand him. No doubt he is guilty of something the way he walks away. No class. What about Rieko though?

That Dickmo- Jordan try was a thing of beauty. Clean line out take. Smith punches a pass Righto into Dickmos basket A little inside pass feint and Dickmo slides straight through the middle untouched with no room to spare. Simple draw and pass and Jordan is in. Agree. That was rugby porn. Skillful A...

Totally sane. Tele'a please. Based on what? Why would you change a winning formula? I’m a bit concerned about him being burned by faster wingers, didn’t really eventuate in this match but they did make huge metres down his wing. His defense was pretty comparable to the rest of the backline form Jor...

Just curious, given your posting history. :thumbup: Posting history like this? I have nothing but support for Mo'unga and have already made comment how well he played.

Huh? When? All Blacks have won every Rugby championship under Foster. Sa play more bad games than All Blacks do. So why do the Springboks hold the number 2 ranking and the All Blacks a lowly 4th. I would hazard a guess at South Africa being more consistent, and better than the All Blacks over the c...

It would be just like Foster to beat Ireland and lose this. Alternatively, it could be another stop in the redemption tour, facing Ireland and Argentina - the teams who claimed historic firsts under Foster - in world cup knockouts. You mean the team lose this? I don't see Foster playing the game. :...

Interestingly, was just watching the Squidge Rugby preview of this game and he said that during the tournament 66% of tries have come off one or two phases and tries that were scored after long periods of phase play, especially those that started from behind the half way were very rare.

Team should be: 1. De Groot 2. Taylor 3. Lomax 4. Whitelock 5. Retallick 6. Frizzell 7. Cane 8. Savea 9. Smith 10. Mo'unga 11. Telea 12. Jordie 13. Ioane 14. Jordan 15. Beauden 16. Coles 17.

So, do we run with the same team, or have a little "horses for courses" tinker? I think the starting team, perhaps Telea aside, should be the same. Maybe bring in Roigard on the bench.

'4 more years' type stuff perhaps. Which to a reactor like Sexton would be fuel to the fire no doubt, as raw as it was. Well, not a fan of it and he's been guilty of that type of thing more than most but that's that, no biggie. I was just curious, as the camera angle didn't give a clue - was it to ...

The Native

I was wrong. Sexton's closing act in an Ireland shirt was to gob off at Ioane. https://twitter.com/ITVRugby/status/1713296892832968870 Do you have that where it doesn't say: "This video is not available in your location."? I get the same message. Genuinely curious what caused him to react that way....

The Native

Yeah I was screaming at telly for that one, and one where was trying to lift for a whole 2 seconds and not a peep. The worst was allowing the Porter to pick the ball out the side of the ruck while we were hot on attack and they go 40m downfield. We got the rub at scrum time though so close enough t...

Rieko Ioane.

Not all Kiwis.

He's unfairly compared to the GOAT. Even unfairly compared to Ardie at times. And suffers from association with Foster.

But today demonstrated that he is exactly the sort of leader and player you want.

And still deserved the win.
You'll have to beat France in the final, good luck.
That will be another great match

Have to beat Argentina first. Another team that has had recent wins against us, both home and away.

I wish it had caught what Sextoy was gobbing off about at the final whistle. Appeared to be directed at Barnes.

My only spite towards the Irish is that I’m glad that mouthy c*nt gets turfed out.

I was worried about the AB loose forwards and center combination ahead of the RWC, but they gelled together really well today. I know Cane played a great game today, but when Frizell is in the loose forward mix, the ABs look so much better. Ioane delivered the final pass for our first two tries. I ...

Commiseration's Ireland. An epic game to bow out in, that was finals Rugby.

Gone the yellow doesn't end up being a defining moment of the game.

Ireland attack has been hard enough to define with 15 players, let alone 14.

Who's covering 9 while Arron is off? How is the back line being shuffled?

Richie to 9, Beauden to 10? Or Jordie.

I wonder if Ireland were taking quick taps today to keep their set piece plays under wraps or to save the front rowers any potential injuries? It will come down to who makes less mistakes and who converts off set piece. I see this Irish side more composed, like a machine as many have said already. ...
